Good Health?

Good health? I guess most of us are under the impression that good health = feeling good and although that may be kinda true, there’s a bit more to it than that, don’t you think? I’m sure there’s plenty of you out there that don’t exercise or eat right, but despite that you’re feeling pretty good at the moment. You’ve just plonked yourself down at your desk after an hour or so commute to work, you’re about to eat something loaded with sugar and take a sip on your 3rd cup of coffee and despite all that, you feel pretty good. So is this health? I think not.

Health can’t be just about how you feel, that’s ridiculous...it’s gotta be more about how you function, right? If you wait for symptoms to arise to indicate if you’re “well” or not you’re going to be just like the hundreds of thousands of heart attack victims out there who’s first heart attack was their first sign of heart disease. How do you think that worked out for them? 

Health has got to be a lifestyle choice, not an event. You get healthy one day at a time, one smart choice at a time. The first step is taking responsibility for where you are now and although taking that first step may be tough, it’s these kinds of choices that’ll see you well into your “golden years” with a quality of life you can appreciate.

So if you think you’d like to make that first step towards a lifestyle of wellness, be sure to follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook page to learn simple daily choices that’ll help you move closer to your Wellness goals because without health it’s kinda difficult taking walks on the beach, playing with your kids or even taking a roll in the hay!

I guess I’d have to say that wellness is something that we may never actually fully attain. It’s a concept that we pursue. It’s a way of life. That constant propensity toward a more successful existence is what wellness really is. The goal of life is not to evade death, but to express ourselves at our highest levels. So take a look at what’s holding you back and learn to overcome those obstacles. If you’ve always wanted to learn to play the guitar, then go do it, if its pottery that floats your boat then go work with some clay, but the bottom line is, do it! Be Well.
