I attended an event last night and one of the speakers was an alternative doctor. She said something that still rings in my ears "If you don't take responsibility for your health, no one else is going to do it for you." How true! I've been wanting to take a yoga class so I looked up a wellness center that offers yoga, along with nutrition counseling and other services. At the hospital where I work, I see everyday, people who don't seem to care about their health. And the less they care, the poorer their quality of life. I tell you, it scares me to see how some people treat their bodies. And they often neglect their spiritual/ emotional health along with it. So I've made the resolve to start taking charge of my health, since I know from my work that prevention is the best cure. It really doesn't matter what else you may have in life--a beautiful house, a new car, a high-paying job--if you don't have the health to enjoy it, it doesn't mean much. this isn't meant to be a put-down for those who suffer from disease or illness--just that if you do (and I do), then you know how it can affect your quality of life. I want to enjoy life. And that starts by taking care of my health. Cause when you have your health, you have just about everything.
