Physical

3. PHYSICAL

   In discussing physical, I am referring to your health. It’s funny, but health is one of those things we take for granted when things are running fine, on autopilot. Only when we have an illness or event that robs us of our health do we truly appreciate its significance.

   When you read the About section of my website, you will learn about my harrowing tale of one of the worst moments of my life. It seems interesting to call it a moment, since it lasted several months but it’s all part of the same chain of events. It highlights how my failure to appreciate the “physical” nearly cost me my life.

   For that reason, I now like to emphasize wellness. It’s about taking stock of your habits and making better choices. Do you drink too much, smoke, do you live a totally sedentary lifestyle? All of those choices can lead to catastrophic consequences. It’s hard to appreciate just how significantly you will be affected until it’s unfortunately too late. Nowadays, I focus on exercise, abstinence from drinking and making better nutritional decisions. It makes a huge difference and ensures I will be spending more precious time on this earth with the people I love.
