What price good health?
What price good health?
I am unaware of anything more rewarding and precious than good health, yet we punish our mind, body and emotions daily. For some, the punishment is like clockwork, meeting deadlines, stressing about money, work, and the children, the economy, the state of the world, to name just a few. The news headlines are doom and gloom. Constant stress and deadlines can lead to Burnout, aggravate IBS, anxiety and more besides.
Using poor coping strategies such as excessive smoking, drinking or taking illegal substances is not the answer; However, they might seem like a good idea at the time, in the longer term, it is just more to deal with and more punishment for the body, mind and emotions.
We can take on other people’s emotional baggage without sense or reason. Many people have ruined their own health by overly supporting others, only to be left behind, worn out and weakened, once the previously ill person recovers.
Prolonged Stress Anxiety, Insomnia all-cause ill health, all reduce our immune system, leading to potentially more serious conditions in the future.
IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is a common digestive disorder, can be a barometer of an individual’s stress or anxiety. Yet, this barometer of mind-body health is largely ignored. And it is ignored at the individual’s peril.

If you have good health, keep it safe and secure, respect it, guard it and look after your own needs. If you have lost your good health, work to get it back, change your thinking, and learn how to be different.
Change poor thinking, poor actions and behaviour.
If your health is irreversibly damaged, then reflect on what you can do to help yourself. Your health is a wonder of nature; like our glorious, beautiful world, it can often recover and heal itself despite the damage inflicted by others or ourselves.
Change your mind, change your thinking, and let the mind-body connection bring you well-being. Even if you have to fight for it, it’s a fight worth fighting. If you know others who are struggling, support them, guide them, listen to them, and help them in all and every way possible, but not to the long-term detriment of yourself.
We are all responsible for our health. Life is a collection of equations. I'll share one such equation with you here.
When you say no to one thing, you are saying yes to something else. For example, if you say no to the constant deadlines in life, you are saying yes to you, yes to your loved ones, yes to better health, yes to a better work-life balance, yes to feeling fitter and happier.
But when you say yes to constant deadlines, you are saying no to you, no to your loved ones, no to better health, no to a better work-life balance, no to feeling fitter and happier.
This is not selfish, it is self-preservation!

No amount of money can replace your health to its original state.
Don’t ignore the signs of illness or emotional distress. If you take the time to learn new ways to think and feel, you can make a difference.
Of course, if you choose not to, that is your personal choice, and you live with the consequences of your decision. If you believe you cannot make a difference to your health, your thinking is flawed; there is always something you can do. It might not be easy, but who said life was easy?
If and when you decide to do something to help yourself, congratulate yourself, make a note in your diary or on your phone so you remember this is the day you decided to change your life and your relationship with yourself. Whether you do that through our programs or some other route, you are to be congratulated for the initiative.
Congratulate yourself on taking the time and effort to believe that change is possible—because it is!
