TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Paradoxically, we often neglect our two greatest possessions, which are TIME and HEALTH. All the riches in the world mean little if you are feeble and sick. Good health is the source of vitality and makes it possible to lead a fulfilling life. How can people in poor health cushion themselves from the storms of life? Without good health we become like rag dolls cast about in a hurricane.

Eat balanced meals and in moderation. Exercise regularly. And sleep 6-10 hours daily. As long as you awaken refreshed, you are getting enough sleep. Don't neglect your sleep as your body needs it for rejuvenation. As Jim Rohn says, "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." Because of the mind-body connection, our mental health is equally vital. To care for it, feed your mind positive thoughts and bathe it in cheerfulness while maintaining a pleasant disposition. Remember, too, as the Irish proverb says, "No time for your health today, will result in no health for your time tomorrow."
