I can’t get my head around why people don’t take more care of themselves. We only get one crack at this life, just one body in which to live our lives, yet we are so often careless about our bodies and our minds. We don’t exercise enough, don’t eat well, just don’t take ourselves seriously. We look after our cars, our houses, our pets – but do we look after ourselves?
OK some stuff happens to us that we can’t control, some things in life are down to luck or genetics. However, most of what happens is about our lifestyle, our choices, its about factors over which we do have control.
If you don’t look after yourself, who will? If we don’t look after ourselves, we are no good to those around us, family, friends, colleagues. We may talk about being too busy, about having other priorities, but realistically, you have to be your number one priority. If not you won’t perform at your best as a family member, a friend or a work colleague. Looking after yourself isn’t selfish, it is simple common sense from your perspective and from the perspective of those around you.
One body, one mind, look after yourself.
