You can’t be at your best in sickness AND in health
Oh, you think you can? Think again. You need your health. It’s not just something that’s nice to have around. It’s the core essential to any job you do or any career you have. And it’s so important that even marriage ceremonies bring it up – in sickness and in health…till death do us part. I’m not saying you can avoid sickness altogether…no one can. But I AM saying there are things you can do to give yourself more of a fighting chance and keep you more “in the game” even when you’re sick.
Now put down that diet cola and repeat after me…I want to be healthy…I need to be healthy (are you repeating after me?) If I’m not healthy, I’m no good to anyone. (say it…it’s true) And if I’m healthy, I can overcome obstacles in my mind, body, and work.
OK. Do you believe it?
Well…believe it. Chew on this. You eat fast food everyday. No exercise. You definitely don’t drink enough water, and even when you’re drinking it, it’s mixed with tea or coffee. And you think you can take your little one-a-day so-called vitamins and keep the bad times away.
Wrong.
You gotta stay well. People are depending on you to do your best. And when you’re constantly reaching for a tissue to honk your nose…or running for an umpteenth bathroom break…how much good work are you getting done? Did you ever see that commercial where the guy doesn’t know how to get dressed or make breakfast or even get in his car? Turns out he gave up smoking, and he’s having to re-learn how to do everything without a cigarette in his hand. Habits…they’re a pretty big deal.
Don’t be like that guy. Stay well. Be well. Start now. Be happy. Grin. It’s good for you. Try these 3 things today. They’re easy…
- Drink half your body weight in ounce of water (example: a 120 woman could drink 60 ounces of water)
- Go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine
- Find something to laugh about and…Laugh!
Do things like that, and in sickness and in health you’ll keep your mind free to create and produce. How do I know?
