reflection and hydration

I picked up a book my daughter won as part of a fitness night during the summer.  Its kind of a mind body book, and has many quotes & sayings with reflections from the author.  Today this one has really hit me as I came home from my 90 minute hot yoga class. When the room is 108 F and the teacher doesn't open the door at all hydration is soooo important. 
The thought here was : They hydration principle - When you're thirsty it's too late.  When you exercise you should be drinking a 1/2cup of water every 15 minutes to replace the sweat loss. This is especially important in activities where there's lots of sweating .  To go on the author discuss some healthy habits for .both life and physical fitness(these may not be the list of your choosing but you can always make your own).

• A glass of water every morning
• regular exercise
• daily vitamins ( I think its subjective to the individual)
• daily action items (you know all those things you have to do today)
•  balancing budget (life is easier if you know what you have to work with)
• phone call to mom or family member
• support group meetings (these can help you through all kinds of things)
• sex with spouse (OK this can get lost in a marriage as you have kids etc)
• Church attendance ( i know this isn't for everyone, but it offers a support system that you may not get anywhere else- not just spiritual, but also as way to find your own place)
• regular prayer- I believe that at some point we all turn to prayer, it may be the loss of a loved one, the desire for a different kind of life, the birth of a child, prayer is found in all types of spiritual thought. 

Find a way to replenish your body everyday.  Where do you go to find encouragement for yourself?

• podcast
• uplifting movies or TV shows
• books
• conferences
• inspiring friends or individuals

Do you have people who you find encouraging and uplift your spirit?
Just something to reflect on today.
