Nowadays, I think 2 many people spend 2 much time strengthening & toning their bodies and little to no time at all strengthening & toning their minds & hearts. If there were an Emotional Workout or a Mental Gym would you buy a membership & workout everyday? Yeah, muscles are fine to look at but a flabby mind is horrible to feel and pretty useless. Some possess the mind of a jellyfish but have arms of steel, the abs of bricks and the heart of putty. They have no compassion or concern for the well-being of others and are immensely oblivious to the passion and happiness of themselves. You'd rather show your body then to show your heart? Why? Is there anything captured there or are you afraid of vulnerability? Some of us have this nonsensical belief that demonstrating none or possessing the lack of emotion makes us "hard". When was the last time you engaged in a relationship with your body...ya know, the part that matters? Have your heart and mind had a real conversation lately? What did they talk about? Did you find that you suffer from emotional constipation or expressive stultification? Have you learned to forgive or do you still hold grudges in that flabby lil heart of yours? I've known plenty of people that boast about harvesting grudges. Holding grudges is like piling all of your disdain for people in a potato sack. Eventually that burlap bag will be full and become heavier and heavier until it's unbareable or will it matter since you are "hard and strong" physically and all? Have you read a book to strengthen your mind or to expand your vocabulary lately? Instead of vomitting to stay skinny, how about absorbing inner peace to stay full? While you are jogging up the canyon, try bringing down a little faith with you. Have a lil compassion with your green tea and actively listen to your inner iPod before plugging APPLE earplugs into your ears. You might even learn something about yourself!
