Sometimes, we mistakenly believe that we are super-humans, able to endure anything. We accomplish what seems to be impossible in the given hours of one day, running on little sleep and barely having time for meals. This has become what we deem to be a necessary part of life. We all know that our daily lives can get hectic, and sometimes, sacrifices must be made. The problems arise when we spend too much time believing that we are “super-humans” and not enough time appreciating and maintaining the quality of our lives.
It’s going to start really interfering with your quality of life, your health, if you don’t adjust to life as it’s happening to you. - Noah Baumbach
Mental and physical health are two of the most important things in our lives; two things that we are easy to take for granted. During this undeceive climate alteration, perhaps you’ve displayed symptoms of a cold that you simply ignored because you couldn’t afford to get sick. Or you may have noticed that even the simplest tasks end up leaving you exhausted. Our bodies have their own way of “talking” to us and letting us know what they need. We just have to be wise enough to listen.
Everyone has heard the phrase, “you only live once”, which was around long before the popular rap song. While this quote is often used to enforce the idea of having no regrets, another appropriate phrase we would do well to repeat to ourselves is “you only have one life”. You only have one body, one opportunity to make this life all that it could be. When you choose to start sacrificing certain things such as your mental health or physical health, your quality of life will drastically alter, and you will notice.
We, and we alone, have a choice to change things. If something is broken, we have the opportunity and means to fix it. When we ignore the signs our bodies send us, we ultimately create more damage in the long run. For example, we often tend to ignore physical pain, attributing it to the way we slept or assuming it will go away soon. However, physical pain, no matter how trivial it may seem, should never be overlooked. Small aches and pains may be our bodies way of telling us there is something larger at work. We are lucky to have so many resources at hand such as physiotherapy, which can assist us in being our best selves!
Start this week off by consciously choosing to always improve yourself - mind, body and soul. Remind yourself that you have one body and one life; how you treat it and what you choose to do with it is up to you!
Are you ready to begin improving yourself? If yes, let’s explore where you can go to get started in your city!
