Physical fitness is split into two parts: (1) Exercise and (2) Nutritious Diet

According to the Mayo Clinic, everyone should aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise every day along with
strength training at least 2-3 times a week.

We should also focus on maintaining a healthy, balanced, and nutritious diet. It is important to cut out junk
food' that are filled with trans fats, sugars, oils, and salt. We need to eat wholesome meals that will provide
us with energy and good health.

WHAT AM I GRATEFUL FOR? THOUGHT #4

Most people tend to focus on what they lack in life - the things we don't have. When we focus on Our
shortcomings or the things we don't have, we become emotionally negative which in turn affects us personalily
and our relationships. Instead, we should focus on what we do have! We should take out time every day to be
grateful for the things we have and appreciate it.By being grateful we become more positive, reduce ouur
tension, and stop sweating the small stuff.
