Look after your health and it will Look after You!

These days it’s hard to find the time to look after our health the way we would like to, but what can you do about it? After all the rent/mortgage has to be paid, school fees have to be paid, there are a litany of household expenses and of course all the responsibilities which go along with modern life.

We remember all too clearly how fit and strong we were, those short few years ago, when we were in our teens or twenties and yet now we lack energy, we feel fatigued and mentally stressed out. Not only are we not firing on all cylinders, but sometimes we don’t feel like we have energy at all. Life has become so busy and with each day there are so many things to do. We feel, at times, as if we are on some kind of freaky fairground ride, but unlike a fairground ride it doesn’t last for five minutes, rather it lasts for decades!

So we ride the great ride, which we call life and we hope we don’t fall off in the process. It’s an awful full out race to destination nowhere and we can’t get there fast enough. Monday trots by, Wednesday whirls by and Sunday is all over and done with, before we can say happy weekend to ourselves!

And yet amongst all of this craziness, somewhere along the way we have to look after our health. I think if we are honest, most of us would report that we are healthy enough, that apart for some niggling aches and pains and minor health problems we are getting by, as if we were a small dingy with patched up holes in the bottom of the boat.

But we are not a dingy and getting by is simply not good enough.

After all it’s our health, which we have to think about. Yes you might be getting by now, but how will you be in another five or ten years, or fifteen years?
