Hay algo en la melodía de esta canción que toca lo más profundo de mi corazón y me mueve de maneras que no puedo explicar. Esta es una parte de un track más largo pero ahorita no lo he podido subir completo. Va un pedacito.
Letra: Itzel Mendoza
Música, arreglos y voz: Mariana Woy

One of the eight recommendations my pastors gave me when we decided that it was best for me to take some time-out (or off, really) was that I do excercise.
Now, the reason for this – and I absolutely love my pastors for their explanation – is that exercise releases endorphins, and as anyone who’s seen Legally Blonde, endorphins make you happy!
A couple weeks back I decided I was going to start running. But to start running, because of my lack of physical condition, I had to start walking first. I am super glad to say that I can now walk 2km – and, jog 1km.
Now, to the point of my post.
Last week was a hard one for me. I started feeling kind of numb – which I know is technically a contradiction, you don’t feel anything if you’re numb. So anyways, in my lack of motivation and well, kind of depression, I stopped exercising. It was only a few days but I was starting to feel worse, if only by a little, with each day.
Yesterday I did not go for my morning walk/jog either. But after praying and doing some homework late in the afternoon I was suddenly prompted by the Holy Spirit to go out and exercise. Now.
So I did. I did less than what I was used to. I walked about 1km and a half and jogged a little less than 1km. But I exercised. And honest to God, I felt so much better. Then I remembered what my pastors had told me that day a few months back: exercise releases endorphins. Oh the wisdom of practical advice! It’s funny because one wouldn’t usually expect this kind of advice for a time of spiritual healing. Goes to show that it is wise to listen and do, even when it doesn’t make much sense.
This morning I walked my 2km and jogged 1km. I feel energized and hopeful.
Thank you God for exercise and endorphins.
