Learn to guard your health

“Health is a crown on a well man’s head, but no one appreciates it like a sick man.”  ~ Egyptian proverb

If you were to see my goal list, you would find excellent health at the top of the list. If you’re so busy that you don’t make time for adequate rest, a healthy diet, and daily exercise, you will eventually find time to be ill. There’s a long list of reasons to delay investing in your health. You may think there’s no time due to demanding situations at work, customers to serve, a family to provide for and so on. Here’s the bottom line. When you get sick, you are of no use to your customers or your boss and unfortunately, your health problems become your family’s problems. To knowingly sacrifice your health is not noble. In reality, it’s taking the lazy man’s way down the path of least resistance. I used to get so stressed I would literally shake with anger and frustration, couldn’t sleep, and was generally miserable, feeling like I was trying to bail out the ocean. I got my act together by managing my diet, emotions, and exercise. I can now say I enjoy excellent health. Health maintained is far easier than health regained. This isn’t rocket science. You know that your best life isn’t possible without good health. Quit making excuses and get good health habits. If you are truly going to “get a life” you need good health.
