There is always something to test your strength. Granted, we are all weak in different areas, but I have learned over the years that, you must also keep your spirit strong. What good is it that only your body and mind is strong, or at least you think that it is, until something or someone comes along and test that strength. Let’s take food for an example, we all have a weakness to some type of food, mine just happen to be chocolate. Each day it is a struggle, especially when I am in a food store, where there is always some type of chocolate around.
Right now, I am working to better my eating habits, because of chocolate, I now must check my blood glucose levels every day. So now I am working to limit just how much chocolate I eat now. My mind is all willing to do it, but my spirit is still struggling to limit my intake. So how do I strengthen my spirit? I am not that sure, but I do believe is not to totally cut out the things that makes feel good, but to limit the times when I do have what I like, for there is one thing that I have learned over the years, is never to totally deny yourself, for when you finally go back, you overindulge and find yourself back in a bad place. Like I said, there is always going to be something to test just how strong you are against the things that you are weak with. But, working to get stronger, is an everyday battle, that will be rewarding in the end. #61andstrong
