We studied in week 6 of Moving Forward Together the "rule of 5" and how it applies to scripture reading...read 5 verses before and after the scripture you are studying/memorizing for best clarity and understanding; meditate on it 5 minutes; say it out loud 5 times; apply the verse 5 ways.
As we consider this "rule of 5" we discussed ways we can use it for our First Place 4 Health wellness/eating plan...
*Drink 5-6 cups of water per day (minimum)
*Eat 5 cups of fruits and vegetables per day
*Exercise 5 minutes/5 times a day (or exercise 5 times a week)
*Take 5 minutes to plan your meal (either 1 meal or for the day or the week - but take 5)
*If you are headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat but aren't feeling hungry, find 5 things to do instead (example: find homes for 5 stray items; set your kitchen timer for 5 minutes then get something if you find you are hungry; write an email to 5 people; read 5 pages in your favorite book; Open your Bible and pick chapter 5 verse 5 in whatever Book it happens to open to then apply the "rule of 5" for better understanding)
These simple "rules" can help you feel better in your quest for better health.
Give me 5,
