We keep our car running well by servicing it regularly – changing the oil every 3,000 miles, rotating the tires, following the manufacturer’s guidelines, etc. We feel successful and confident arriving at an appointment in a clean, purring vehicle – a vehicle that reflects our respect for it.
Why, then, do we mistreat our bodies? How can we possibility expect ourselves to be confident and centered, and thus effective, when we eat and drink too much, deprive ourselves of sleep, and consider it exercise when we tap a computer keyboard or wield the TV remote control?
