Please take care of yourself

Why is important to take care of yourself? There are so many reasons!

Take care of yourself. Such a simple set of words. Such a simple concept. What a simple idea. But so many just don’t do it. Why?

I’ve asked this question time and time again from: many people that I know. Their answers range from society, culture, human condition, and laziness. People know that they are supposed to take care of themselves. We all take health classes and we all know what is good for us and bad for us. We know what we should put in our bodies and should not put in our bodies, what we should eat and what we should not eat, but we ignore what we already know.

The reason we don’t take care of ourselves is that we don’t care what will happen to us. We KNOW what will happen, but we create a viewpoint that whatever happens to others..wont happen to us. THIS ISN’T REALITY!

Every single thing we put in our bodies affects or bodies. We have 5 senses…each thng that enters our body through these five senses affects our body in some way shape or form. If we surround our lives with positivity, only positivity enters our body. Positivity will do nothing but good things for our body. If we put chemicals in our body,any kind, it will adversely affect it. This is why its so important to stop these companies from altering our food with chemicals and additives!

As I sit and watch my wife go through trippleheart bypass surgery…through no fault of her own (she has had diabetes since birth and it has ripped through her organs) I think of all the people in this situation because of how theyeat, lack of excersise, and bad habits. People have asked me if they can do anything for me…now I know:

Take care of yourself. Eat right, exercise, and do something to help your life. Your life and your body are more important then a moment of eating some fried food or having a smoke.

I asked my son why he kept eating all the fried food he always chooses to eat. He explained in 9 year old, "It tastes good."

I asked an older man in the cafeteria why he keeps eating all this fried food. He explained in 60 year odl, "It tastes good."

I guess the only thing that stops people is a cracked chest, drainage tubes, and a 6 hour surgery...if death doesn't get them first.

I asked my daughter why she watches the violenc eand the sexism that are constatly displayed on TV. She explained in 12 year old, "Because it's funny and entertaining."

I asked my friend why she watches the violenc eand the sexism that are constatly displayed on TV. She explained in 46 year old, "Because it's funny and entertaining."

Both examples shows how people know what is good or bad, and decide to do somethign they know is going to hurt them.

Please put as much positivity and happiness into the world so that this world is more positive than negative in the world. We are responsible for everyones mental health…love all.
