The word Active is derived from Activity. It is simply based on some of the acts you do on a daily basis. Below are a few of what I do to stay active and alive. Daily once I wake up from sleep, I first of all thank Jehovah the Almighty for making it possible for me to see the brightness of the day. Prayer is the foremost leader in all I do.

WATER

I drink water after my prayers for proper detoxification of my system. Water plays a major role in every being to stay alive and active. Without it our body will wither. I make sure I drink at least 2 litres of water daily because water is life. I bathe at least 2 times daily to keep fit. I wash my clothes too, I don’t rely on washing machines or professional
Laundry men.

SWEEPING

I love keeping my surroundings clean both in and outside the house. I mob the floors, rake the compound, clean off the gutters to allow drainage so water can flow freely especially at this time of the rainy season here in Nigeria. Sometimes too I cut the grasses with cutlass to prevent it from over growing near my surroundings.

EXERCISE

Bodily training is beneficial. Training our minds and physical body is very essential to healthy living. Hence the saying

“all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”

I hate dull moments so from time to time I participate in exercises. I derive a lot of benefits from it because exercising improves the quality of life and slows down the aging process. Exercises makes me happy as it helps me to maintain sound health. Solving some difficult brain tasks can become a lot easier due to regular exercise. I sleep better and feel more relaxed when I engage in physical exercise.

READING

Readers are Leaders is a popular saying. I read the Bible daily and Motivational books so as to bring out the inner true self of me. See as Brian Tracy puts it:

“You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.”

So to cope with challenges in life, its vital to read good books. Also I listen to recordings and beautiful devotional songs, orchestra, piano music, sentimental music and I dance to their fine tunes and beatings too.

Another major important aspect of activity in my life is going out to declare Bible messages by preaching from door to door, telling people the good things God has in store for them. God’s promise of turning the earth into a beautiful Paradise is a sure promise that I join other millions of people earth wide to declare to people around me. Each time I engage in this activity it makes me fulfilled.

COOKING

Without eating good food, life can become a survival of the fittest. I select choice ingredients with good nutrients and prepare them for my family’s delight. I make sure I eat 2 to 3 square meals a day. I love eating my native traditional foods as we have different kinds of seasonal food for our delight. I enjoy cooking, its never a burden to me.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS

When God created the earth, he made animals and authorized human to care for them as it will also serve as food for them. I love rearing domestic animals. In my compound I have Dogs, Goats, Chickens etc. These animals are very friendly to be with. They are also obedient too. I have a peculiar way of drawing them closer to me and they listen to my voice. Each time I clean their house I feed them too. They keep me busy I do not have idle moments. I make sure I feed them personally each day.

REST

Exercise, Diet and Rest is what everybody needs. I make sure I sleep at least 6 hours daily. When I sleep, my muscles relax and my brain too. Sleep prepares me for the next day’s task. Quality sleep helps me to stay active and rejuvenates my body. I cannot do without sleeping daily to keep active.

Doing the above mentioned activities, I feel better within myself and am having a healthy lifestyle.
