You Can Do It!
Not many people are mentally committed towards pursuing a healthy mind and body goal. The main obstacle is the belief that it involves too much work.
Intelligent people would wake up at 5am to have an early breakfast, sacrifice some much needed sleep time to meet friends at the golf course, and yet they won't spent 30 minutes each day doing some simple exercises that will bring benefits to themselves for the rest of their lives.
The same people will spend thousands of dollars going for vacations abroad and yet won't spend a couple hours each week meditating in their own home.
Before you pronounce these same people having their priorities wrong, it would only be fair to say that there are as many rights as there are people on earth.
The only thing is what is your ultimate life decision. Do you want to remain healthy until your last day on earth, or do you want to live as much and as well as you can, without much regard of how your health fare in your waning years?
Since this is a blog all about good health, we would place top priority on well being. Good health means less expenses on medicare, fewer worries about aches and pains in middle age and the years beyond. It also means you can walk unaided either by willing human hands.
Until you actually have to hang on to something or somebody for support either in standing upright or walking, you won't really appreciate what it's like to be physically independent.
Millions of people in the world right now, young and old, are crying for help to ease their pain and discomfort.
Some are born with physical disabilities so they are the exceptions. Others who started off healthy become sick and suffering in pain, due to their own neglect over the years and decades.
It is only wise to decide early in life as to what kind of life's experience you would welcome as you grow older. It all begins with a mental commitment.
If you don't really care much for exercise and other simple remedies to avert a life-long passage of aches and pain, then you will have to work towards that end. The bottom line is everybody can achieve good health.
In other words, you can do it. Do it early. Better still, do it now. It is common to hear young people saying, rather cockily that they have no problems with weight, sleep and energy. They normally say that when they are in their teens.
Give them a few more years, and they may change their perception of good health that they have been taking for granted in their younger years.
I often tell people who complain incessantly about aches in shoulders, hands and knees, that they won't be giving me a litany of their woes if only they had listen to their physical education teachers in school.
Everybody gets a chance to be healthy and stay healthy. But do you want to do it. There's some physical effort involved. Think of the minimal investment that goes such a long way.
If you stay doing the right things at a young age, it becomes routine and easy after a while. Of course, you can start going to the gym in your 40s but it won't be that comforting because by the time you are in your fourth decade on earth, exercises is only one solution towards damage control.
Think of the abuse on your body over the last 40 years. The human body is just like any other living organism. It obeys the laws that govern life on earth and in our universe. You get what you put it, or what you won't and don't put in.
If you are in your teens right now, I will strongly advise you to do it, meaning learn to develop a set of simple exercises and stick to them daily. In time, you will be the envy of your contemporaries who will be moaning and groaning with pain, while you are blissfully ignorant of the physical discomforts that plague your generation.
Do it now and you won't regret it.
