What Does Your Margin Look Like?

What Does Your Margin Look Like?
Tianna Feaster

I was in church one Sunday and my pastor spoke on the topic of margins, as in a physical margin. The question is do you have margin when it comes to eating and exercising? Sometimes the things that we put in our bodies are simply not good for us and many times we don't exercise. So, we have a double whammy! LOL!! Due to poor planning and preparation we tend to eat when we get around to it, which leaves us subject to poor choices, and the thoughts of "I need something quick, I am hungry, tired or I don't feel like cooking, I am just going to go to McDonalds or KFC" seem to creep in.

Again, I am back to the magical word CHOICES! Remember you need to have a physical margin in you life. You are probably like "Tianna, what do you mean by margin? Margin is that amount allowed before it hits over the edge. It is that space between our loads and limits. If we don't have margin in our diets we get to a point that we neglect ourselves so much that we end up paying later for it. You wonder why you are sooo tired or why you keep going up in clothe sizes, or why you are battling with borderline diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, or mentally exhausted....there is NO margin.

We have to make sure we are constantly restoring our physical health by eating and exercising properly so that we cannot only be good to ourselves, but are able to be effective to/for others and carry out our purpose in life. That's why it is important to have margin.
