21 Habits of Happy People
19. Self Care - “Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical check ups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water. Exercise your mind by continually energizing it with interesting and exciting challenges.”
I think one of my Facebook friends, Jacques Chery, put this best into words when he posted, “Embrace and love your body it is the most amazing thing you will ever own.” Today while I was at the gym I was thinking about the choices we make everyday. What we eat. What we do. How we feel and think inside this amazing machine. Why is it that although we know better we don’t always make the right choices?
Since I returned to the gym in January, I have been feeling better and better. My injuries are going away and my vitality is returning. Sometimes we forget. We get an injury or “fall off the wagon” as some people say and don’t return. It can happen. After my daughter was born I had a lot of pain in my body and it made exercising very difficult, near impossible. I gained weight. I felt old and frumpy. How I perceived myself changed, and not in a good way. In all cases when we take care of ourselves and our health, we are always winners. Balance is so important. Active healthy bodies make active healthy minds that take on challenges with much more enthusiasm too. No wonder it is a habit of happy people!
Self Care is about being kind to ourselves. Caring enough about ourselves to tend to the issues that will mean a quality of life today and every day forward. So with spring upon us (here in the northern hemisphere - I realize it is different for all you folks down under), go out for a walk. Enjoy the sunshine but most of all take care of your personal spring cleaning. You will be happier for it. Promise! :)
Namaste!
