This message might not be for you at all. Because you might be the picture of perkiness. And you have no concerns at all about your holiday health. Or any other time of the year either. If so, fantastic. Share your regimen with me. And I’ll share it with my readers and listeners.
But some people are facing serious holiday health issues.
Because some people haven’t been taking very good care of themselves.
Just in case you hadn’t noticed, sickness and health are opposites. You don’t need sickness. But you sure 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 up “in sickness and in health” and till death do us part.
I’m not saying you can avoid sickness altogether. Because 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.
Take this sickness and health pledge:
Yeah, 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? If not, then start over. And repeat until you believe it.
Now, chew on this.
Let’s say you eat fast food everyday. But no exercise. You definitely don’t drink enough water. And even when you’re drinking it, you mix it 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.
Sickness and health are both something you’re responsible for.
(Yeah, I know left a preposition hanging out there…so, sue me)
It’s essential for you to stay well. People depend on you to do your best. And when you constantly reach for a tissue to honk your nose, or run for an umpteenth bathroom break, how much good work can you get done?
Did you ever see that commercial where the guy didn’t know how to get dressed or make breakfast or even get in his car? Because he gave up smoking. And he had to re-learn how to do everything without a cigarette in his hand. Habits are a pretty big deal.
Don’t be like that guy. Nobody’s smokin’ hot, smokin’ hot cigarettes.
Anyway…
Be well. Stay well. Start now. It’s so much more enjoyable and easier to work on being well than fighting sickness. So…
Be happy. Grin. It’s good for you.
And try these 3 things today. They’re easy:
- Drink a good amount of purified water
- Go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine
- Find something to laugh about and Laugh!
That last one’s easy. Just watch videos of people who voted for the loser presidential candidate. Two words for you: hill arias.
Yeah, do things like that, and even your holiday health could be good in spite of all that pumpkin stuff you stuff inside you.
