TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART
You'll most likely live your entire life without ever seeing your own heart. Weighing in at a mere 10 ounces, the heart is often overlooked and taken for granted.
So, how is it that the heart has become the universal symbol for love? The Greeks believed the heart was the seat of the spirit. The Egyptians thought emotions and reasoning rose from the heart. The Chinese associate the heart as the core of happiness. Americans believe a non-human creature, called Cupid, shoots arrows into the heart which then direct their feelings of love toward other people.
Whatever your believe concerning the love/heart connection, there is one fact we all share: EVERYONE LOVES HIS/HER OWN HEART.
The problem is, most people don't show it. The best way to love your heart is to take care of it. Here's a simple first step you can take to show your heart how much you care.
GET ACTIVE. Your heart craves excitement. It longs to beat faster and pump harder a bit everyday. If you listen close, you'll hear your heart crying out to take the stairs instead of the elevator, to park your car in the far parking lot in order to walk to your desitnation. Your heart wants you to get off the couch and take it for a hike, a walk, a bike ride or a run. Just like the dog, it needs a daily dose of activity.
Decide today to spend some quality time with your heart . . . you do love your heart, don't you?
