Taking excellent care of myself should be one of the most important goals in my life yet I seem to neglect myself. This is very alarming to me considering I already suffer from health issues that could lead to more debilitating disease as I age. What is even worse is that most people I know fail to properly care for themselves just like me! When I stop to think about healthy choices and how they are detrimental for optimal health, I realize they are not difficult to adopt. I could significantly improve my health by losing unhealthy midsection fat through diet and exercise.
So why don't I make this positive change? Why do a majority of people have such a struggle with making positive change? Life is stressful with most of us having overbooked schedules with family, work, school, volunteering and just life in general. I know that I feel like putting other responsibilities first and then I will get around to myself when I have time. That time NEVER seems to come though as each day presents new tasks. I have realized that I need to manage stress, eat a healthy moderate diet, get some sort of exercise EVERY day, and make time for me. Hopefully, I can succeed in doing this and with my success I can help as many others as possible do the same. We have to learn that our health is very important and without good health, nothing else really matters!

Hello, Cynthia I can understand your issue. It seems at times we all neglect ourselves. It doesnt matter whether it's health wise, mentally, or physically. With being a mother myself I can really relate to there seeming to never enough hours in the day for all the important things we need and want to do. The best thing to do is to just stay encouraged . I wish you many years of good health God bless.
ReplyDeleteWe women do seem to put other people before ourselves. This is especially true for mothers. I have children and they keep me very busy. But, it is important to learn to care for ourselves. I'm sure that many people count on you and your happy to be there for them. Therefore, you must insure your health by taking care of you. I'm not preaching because I am facing the same problem. But changes can be made. If we just take slow progressive steps, eventually we can meet our health goals. We women must be more assertive in regards to our health and our time. Try to start by scheduling a 30 minute exercise session once a week. Make an appointment for you and keep it. Good Luck!
