Stretching are those exercises
that are done before you go for a jog, a walk, playing a soccer game or any
other physical activity. It can be damaging to your muscles when you do not do
the necessary stretching exercises before the physical exercise. You will
always feel the pain in your muscles the next day after a physical test or an
exercise program. We tend to skip the stretching parts which are so important
for longevity of life. The less you become active the more your muscles pull
back and are not easily moveable as you become older in your age. The purpose
of stretching is to minimise discomfort after an intense work-out or physical
activity.
In the same way that our body
need stretching to maintain its agility in movement, the same way we need to be
stretched spiritually, professionally and on a personal level. Our bodies are
introduced to new movements during the physical stretches and in the same way
our perspectives on life, belief systems and career paths can also be stretched.
Our thinking change over certain things as we expand our knowledge on certain
subjects of interest. You stretch your knowledge capacity when you dig deeper
into personal development and spirituality by moving from comfort situations
into the unknown.
The question than is “Are you willing to be
stretched”?
This can be in an area of
finances, career, church involvement, marriage, personal development,
entrepreneurship, study opportunities or family life. Whatever the area might
be, must not keep you from developing new skills or aspiring new opportunities.
There is always room for stretching. To become better at what you do in either
growing spiritually, professionally and personally. It is important to always
start at a manageable pace. Too much at a time is not good for one’s
emotional health just as excessive training is not good for physical health.
The idea is to manage the stretching process and to do it on a regular basis to
understand the content matter or that your body should adapt to the new
changes.
It is good to want to do more, but do not do it at the cost of your own physical, emotional or psychological
health. It requires us to bring balance
into the activities we engage in and this is the process that will stretch you
as an individual. It is therefore necessary to be stretch so that you can be
ready and prepared to fulfil your destiny purpose in life. On
the other hand, if you are not open to stretching yourself, you should expect
nothing more than what you are willing to invest. What you sow will ultimately
be what you will reap.
Come let us stretch those
self-created boundaries!!!
