Physical

I often speak of the importance of meditation and contemplation in my spiritual practice together with the very real importance and impact of my practice on my physical condition.  I also need to take care of and respect the limitations and health of my body from a purely physical perspective.  I am very careful about what I eat (primarily fruits, vegetables, fiber, healthy fats, with the occasional pizza, cookie, hamburger) and keeping my weight down.  I do some sort of exercise pretty much daily, with more focused and intensive exercise several times a week.  I am careful to get enough rest, never using an alarm clock and paying attention to what my body needs.  Also, I stay away from caffeine, nicotine, drugs or alcohol.  I avoid distractions such as porn, gambling or T.V. that lead to me ignoring healthier alternatives.
