Your Health!
This body does not belong to you.
Have you ever been sitting around
thinking of how uncomfortable someone has made you? or how inconvenienced
someone has made you? Have you
ever complained that someone was late, skipped you in line or ignored you? When was the last time someone brought
unnecessary stress or anxiety upon you?
It can be pretty frustrating to say the least and frankly, you probably
wouldn’t expose yourself to this scenario any longer than your current
temperament or mood could allow, right?
Well,
what if our bodies treated us the same way?
Reacted
and responded to us the same way we would to another entity infringing on our
rights to lead a healthy life? It
really just goes to show just how much our bodies do not belong to us. When was the last time you ordered a
headache? Or could that be your
brains way of saying; ”listen, I need to discuss the lack of vegetables you
have coming this way”. Or when was
the last time you heard this one?.. ”Since we can’t come to an agreement about
the lack of exercise, here – take this heart attack, that’ll teach ya”. I seriously doubt the fact that when
you ache, you want to, or you enjoy it.
Now there is a sector of the population that actually like pain, but
even then, they don’t like it when they can’t control it. But for the rest of the vast majority
of us, if we had our way, I’m sure we wouldn’t ache at all, especially the
elderly ones.
We
have been put in position to service these bodies, and look after these vessels
as stewards. Just think of the way
some of us treat our responsibilities to our bodies: We drunk it, we drug it, we keep it up all
night, we smoke it out, and expose it to extreme temperatures
unnecessarily. Some of us let it
get so far out of shape, that we can never get it back in shape. Then it pays us back with hangovers,
dizziness and imbalance, loss of our senses, even high blood pressure and total
shutdowns. Then we wonder why we
are only given roughly about 65-75 years to misuse this prized creation.
Resolution: start looking after yourself, and regularly
get yourself examined at least once a year, [for gods sake]. I once had a good friend, who was
actually old enough to be my grand dad. We were actually neighbors and we would
talk about everything, I saw him regularly. One winter passed & I didn’t
see him for about 3-4 months, the following spring we met up again, as he
picked up caring for his home.
“Hey, Old-timer”, I said, how’s everything? I haven’t seen U in months
”. He told me, “I’ve been sick, I
have cancer”. Although it wasn’t terminal,
it was enough to slow him down & the chemotherapy was wearing him out. THE
REMEDY! “If they could have
caught it earlier”, he said, “they could have cured it”. My other eye opener came from one of my
older hermanos, who had a severe case of kidney stones. Every time he passed his fluids or even
laughed hard, he said he felt like he would pass a 6month old baby, thru the
front door”. THE REMEDY! If I had only drank more water as a
youth.
Now
like never before, you should take care of your responsibilities, which includes
your health. Be good to yourself,
and your self will be good to you.
PEACES!
