Peace and prosperity are the usual New Year’s wishes, but why don’t we add another one – Pink of Health.
Health and wellness are the two foundations for all other wishes as our body and our minds are our primary vehicle in any other undertakings. Yes, it is true that some people who are sick are still very productive and are contributing to the development of the world’s economy. But, we all desire to be at the peak of our physical performance.
Healing is a goal but it is also a process. It requires attentive concentration on what our body is saying. Each sickness has a message by itself. It speaks about our genes, our lifestyle, our environment, our history and our relationship. To pay attention to our health is to listen to what our body is saying.
That should be part of any New Year goal – whether Christian or Chinese New Year – it doesn’t matter. We don’t even need to wait for any occasion. Healing is about listening to our body. We should commit to our health every day.
And commitment to our health means making decisions – about work, relationships, eating habits, lifestyle etc – so that healing happens.
It also means investing in our health and wellness. To eat what our body actually needs. To stop anything that endangers our body. And to see healers, doctors, therapists, and medical practitioners who can help in our healing process.
"Nature gave men two ends - one to sit on and one to think with.
Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most."
- George R. Kirkpatrick -
Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
