Treat it like royalty

# Chapter 125

“Your body isn’t a thing to be looked at and judged against some standard of perfection that doesn’t even really exist. It’s the vessel that takes you through life, allowin’ you to experience all the beautiful things life has to offer. Food. Sex. Sunsets. Music. Hugs. Laughter. A healthy body is a gift. Don’t take it for granted. Don’t treat it like some cheap one-night stand. Treat it like the love of your life. Treat it with respect and tenderness, but most of all, gratitude.” Geissinger

This is lesson I am learning late in life. The same time most people do. When they come to realize that their body is the only one they are gonna get, that no trade-in’s are allowed, and some parts aren’t working they way they are supposed to on an optimal day. Somehow, taking your body to the doctor is never as quick, definitive and satisfying as getting your car fixed properly at a good mechanic. There is generally no possibility of just swapping out worn parts for new. No Advanced Auto Parts for the body available.

However my body has regenerative powers that my car does not have, if only I would quit poisoning it day after day, this regenerative engine in my body could and would make a number of substantive repairs and replacements. The primary poisons are apparent, alcohol, drugs and smoking. But consistent overfeeding and lack of use, probably are bigger problems for the majority of the population.

Stop making your body submit to all the angst and stress and anxiety in your heart and head. Get moving. Its your one and only vessel, treat it like royalty.
