I love fig rolls..

I do.. and I'm not too proud to admit it. Although, I have noticed that the actual taste of fig rolls varies depending upon what I have been doing beforehand. For example, If i'm sitting and watching television before eating one they never seem to taste as nice as they do following a long mountain run or bike. I've just got back, just eaten half a packet.. and they have prompted me to write this blog.

The answer to this quandry is pretty simple, when you do something which is difficult and causes suffering, pain or exposure to cold, wet and miserable weather, it heightens the experience of things as simple as a cup of tea, a warm fire, an embrace and of course.. a fig roll. Exercise reminds us of how it feels to be 'outside' our comfort zone and for that reason we appreciate our comfort zone considerably more (usually when we return to a warm house and close the door behind us).

Appreciating your comfort zone is very important, once you stop appreciating your comfort zone, you stop appreciating all those simple joys (such as fig rolls), many of which we are lucky to have and to some extent we take for granted every day.
