Trust your Feet

We do so many workouts now that it's hard to keep up with which is which. Yesterday it was the flithy fifty and today was something called chipper style I do believe. Today's workout consisted of 4 laps around the gym, 25 walking lunges, 25 push- ups, 25 kettle bell swings, 25 Burpees,and 100 jump ropes. I am horrible at jumping rope. I always have been so I was basically dreading but mentally preparing myself for jumping rope. I struggled do jump rope. I would do a few and then get tangled in the rope. I took a "water break" and when I came back it was like it just clicked. My upper and lower body finally got on the same page and I could jump rope. I flew through almost all of them in the end. I caught myself thinking about my feet, wanting to make sure they jump off the ground at the right time!

I find myself "learning" to trust my feet a lot in the gym. To stand just right on them for a certain workout to use them the right way in others. It clicked the other day and now I find myself repeating "trust your feet!" I find myself even telling Rhoda to trust her feet.

But we struggled at first to trust our own feet. We wobbled and shook trying to learn to trust. Now this is just our on 2 feet. Not trusting someone else with our life or anything. This is basic small things we shouldn't be worried about. But we do because it was something new and something different.

We all get this way in life too. How well we can learn from this. We all tend to have trust issues at some point in our lives. And for some it consumes them. Trust issues consumed me for a while. Now I have learned to trust my own feet and how to learn to trust others. Sometimes people do things that hurt and cause us to lose trust in them. Sometimes though we tend to forget that everyone is human and we ALL make mistakes. All this is easier said than done, this I do know. We have to learn to trust a person just as we learn in the gym to trust our feet.

Maybe we can learn a lesson from our feet. Think about your feet and the pounding they take all day everyday.... Sometimes we do the same to people. So when they crack and we lose trust it is up to us to forgive, and learn to trust again.

I trust my feet! They may get weak and let me down sometimes but I still trust them. People are the same way. Our friendship or relationship of any matter may get weak but no one is perfect.


I encourage you to learn to trust your feet more!
