NOTE FROM LINDA
How we define health will vary depending on where we are at.? My kids don?t talk about health.? It?s all they know.? They expect they will fall asleep when their head hits the pillow, sleep well and wake up feeling ready for the day.? It?s not even a question in their minds.? They go hard all day, and when they are tired, they stop and rest.? They don?t think about fitness, they just play their sport because it is fun.
For adults however, health and energy become top priority.? When some clients began their journey with us,their pain was their focus.? Being free of pain = health.? They weren?t thinking about taking up golf, hiking or travelling. They wanted no more than to make it through their day without pain medication.
As they became free of their pain, their energy increased and their whole outlook on life changed.? They are now planning holidays, doing more with their friends and family, and even learning how to golf.? Health = being active and enjoying life.
In discussions with clients and friends in their 50?s, they are noticing a transition in their way of thinking.? In their 20?s and 30?s, maybe even 40?s, fitness was about sport, competition, looking good.? They pushed through pain and injury to be the best player or have the best body.
Now, in middle-age, they are shifting to a priority of health.? They are choosing activities that don?t hurt their body, vanity is less important than maintaining a healthy weight and preventing injury.? They are taking better care of their body, so their body can carry them through the activities they enjoy.
The health continuum is a double ended arrow.? The left end is disease, illness, death and the right end is optimum health and well-being.? The middle is well, 50/50, somewhere between the two.? Where are you at on the health contiuum?? Are you at least to the right of the middle mark? What are you doing to take care of yourself so you can enjoy your hobbies, sports, and family?
Fall is a great time to get going on a new routine.? Pop into the TWC to see how we can help you on your journey towards great health, energy and joy!
Have an awesome week!
