Our bodies are our own personal machinery, do you agree? Why do we not all honor it and cherish it?
Sometimes we feed it food that is not good for our system, and when we’re tired, we keep going. We often don’t give it all the exercise it needs, and we don’t drink enough water.
Most of us either abuse or starve our bodies; we simply don’t always put ourselves and our health first.
I’ve heard so many people say if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. Well, wherever you are in your journey of life, put yourself on the top of your list. Take a personal inventory of what you can do to better your health.
When you wake up, are you starting your day in a positive way? Reading or watching something positive, stretching, taking a walk or working out—anything that brings joy or adds positive input to you and your body.
Practice something new and upskill yourself, personally and professionally. Make sure that you’re doing something fun every day and have something to look forward to. Probably the No. 1 thing is to have a purpose for getting up each day.
Worry is another thing that can rob you of your joy and health. My dad gave me this book many years ago: Why Worry?: How to Stop Worrying and Enjoy, by Sue Breton.
Life is for living, so take care of your biggest gift: your body, your mind and mostly your heart and soul. Love yourself, and be kind because if you don’t love yourself, you teach others not to love you.
Continue to shine from the inside out and for everyone you come in contact with, be kind to them as you never know what someone is going through, and your kind words could be all they needed to survive their day.
I hope this is a reminder of how precious our time here on earth really is, as we all really need to honor our bodies so health will represent our wealth. As the saying goes, eat, drink and be merry my friends. Live your very best life with passion.
