Health for U

Are You Kickin’ it? Or Winding Down?

This weekend I read a blog post by a woman who said she’s  enjoyed wonderful travels over her lifetime to amazing, exotic places.  However age has taken it’s toll. She wrote chances are her travels are pretty much over.  She described creaky joints and how walking up curbs is like climbing mountains. Money’s tight, too.  She said she’s 54.

I was stunned. Only 54? Are you kidding me?

As I’m typing this I got a hip joint that’s achy. I need to lose weight. (My weight’s always fluctuated – more ups than downs.)  I have a slow metabolism that’s getting slower. My health is reasonably good – but I’m not likely to climb Katmandu any time soon.

Health, Happiness and Abundance

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”

- Buddha

Health, wealth and happiness.  That’s what living a successful life is all about.   

The quote by Buddha is about that elusive word: “balance.”  I believe we can have it all but not necessarily all at the same time.  If you’re busy being a great parent you probably don’t have the time to start a Fortune 500 company – but it doesn’t mean you can’t have a successful, home-based enterprise. 

Notice the first word in this quote is “health.”  As a woman, it’s easy to get so busy with your life and your business that taking care of your health goes to the bottom of the list.  When I take an hour a day to exercise I actually accomplish more all day long.  So, exercise isn’t just a way of taking care of my body.  It also seems to help me take care of my mind.
