Sacrificing health for money is a poor trade
But I see people doing it every single day of the week
It is sad but the real reality of the society we live in
People don’t value their health until they loose it
Sometimes it is a burnout that wake them up
Or a diagnosis of some sort just like mine
Until then, people keep pushing themselves
Seeking for a sense of self worth that they never found anywhere
Happiness they never felt
Validation from external things and people
Because deep inside they feel nothing
They are numb
Yeap I have been there too
Whilst society sells the dream of
When you get “there” you will get all of those things
I have spoken to many people this week that are plain
Exhausted
They have been pushing themselves to the limit
And they are now left with a carcass of a body
Living EXHAUSTED sucks
(I know exactly what it feels like)
Learning how to put our health first is a lot more than just
Changing a diet
Exercising
Meditating
Journaling
It is learning how to value yourself as you are NOW
NOT THERE
or waiting for whatever you need to get to value yourself
It is learning how to connect to your body and respect it
Instead of treating like a piece of s***
Most people don’t value their health
It takes you to stop following the societal trends as sheep
And say NO MORE
It takes you saying to yourself
I want to live
FULLY
Filled with energy instead of dragging myself each day
And from that place I knowing you are stronger
To conquer whatever you want to.
