Taking Care of Our Health
I'm in New York City this week taking care of my health. It's an old problem that just won't go away--my back. I'd love to say the problem happened by accident, or due to someone else's fault, but the truth is, it's all about me. I like so many women have made everyone else's needs a priority. Taking care of others is a habit well learned. The problem is, we need to also learn how to tend to our own health needs. As women, it's not always easy to take care of ourselves. We're taught and encouraged to be there for every one else EXCEPT ourselves. Then often when we find ourselves sick, unhealthy, or out of alignment with ourselves, we're confused, angry, and depressed.
One of the small esteemable actions I've been taking over the last few years is being proactive about my health. So now I go to the doctor and get the appropriate screenings to discover potential problems BEFORE they become problems.
Are you taking care of your health this week? Let me know how you're doing?
