It is a great time to
reflect on the many freedoms that thousands of men and woman have died to give
us. The freedom of where to live; the freedom to go to the school of our
choice; the freedom to change jobs/careers; the freedom of speech. I
believe that health is a choice. Health is not merely a roll of lucky
genetics. Rather health is our responsibility (ability to respond) to the
many choices we have day in and day out. Choices such as:
- Did you choose to skip breakfast or did you choose to
eat a healthy balanced breakfast such as an egg-white, vegetable omelet?
- Did you choose to see your Chiropractor to improve your
spinal health and mobility?
- Did you choose to watch two hours of TV last night
or did you choose to take a 45 minute walk?
- Did you choose to drink water today or did you choose
to drink 4 cups of coffee, 3 diet cokes and two beers?
- Did you choose to jump out of bed this morning and
begin your stressful day (just like yesterday) or did you choose to wake
up 15 minutes before anyone else in your household to take time to
meditate, pray, say affirmations or visualize “making it a great day?”
- Did you choose to be miserable today or did you, even
though you woke up slightly grumpy, choose to be happy and smile just because
you could?
- Did you choose to make a healthy meal tonight or did
you choose to get take out… again?
- Are you ready to CHOOSE to start being healthy? If you
don’t know what to do, ask us.
Get the picture.
Health is indeed a choice. Choose wisely.
