Listen To The Signals

I ran a race earlier this week.  I thought I felt pretty good recovering later that day.  No injuries.  Today, I awoke a mess.  All kinds of aches and tightness, here and there.  I could make believe it is not there, or ignore it and just go out and beat my body up in exercise.  This would be to ignore the signals my body is giving me.  Rest.  Less is more now.  The soul is the same way.  It gives me signals.  I can ignore the signals.  Life will only get worse, not better.  Maybe my soul aches for attention, but since I won't listen to it, the soul tells the body to warn me.  Pray more, run less?  It is a thought.  We are all of one piece.  All parts need attention on a daily basis.
