There is always an excuse to avoid doing important things in life. I find many people are ready with their excuses before even the were assigned any task. Excuses are best way to get rid of any additional work. But is it fair to give excuses when it comes to our health or our well being. There are many priority thing to do in life, but if we unable to remain healthy we unable to perform those task efficiently. Our health too need time and if we unable to devote time for our self and for our health, everything going to be ruined. Yesterday, I had this conversation, with a #hive user who is putting up weight lately. He wanted to control his weight gain which is good on his behalf. He asked me about my weight loss journey and asked some tip. I happily shared few, he seems to be interested, but he unable to find time to do it. Before even giving a thought of planning he comes up with his work / family / or other commitment excuses. I found it very strange! A true professional is one who can manage multiple task with ease, but giving up excuses at the cost of ourself is not a good approach towards the life.
A person foremost priority is to take out time of personal well being then they should opt look out for other things. My simple motto in life is that if we are unable to look after ourself, then how could we take care our loved ones. There are many individuals who are dependent on us, and to take care of them, we should give time on our personal well being. There are people who does take out time for personal grooming, but for their health they always do have some ready excuses. An individuals should understand that "the more healthier we remain, the better it is for all the person related to us". If we avoid taking out time for then it may end up with adverse consequences. It is a good situation to highlight one of the important learning from my Dad. He once told me :
"Eat to live, or live to eat?"
The phrase is a complex combination of two things with entirely different meaning. Many people unable to differentiate the true meaning of it is :
Eat to live: Few people view food as fuel. They eat simply to stay healthy and survive. Like our older generational people who does manual hard work
Live to eat: The other section of the society view food as a major pleasure in life. They love trying new dishes, cooking, and enjoying meals. They are not concerned with the health.
I think we can apply this phrases into putting out wellbeing as foremost priority in life. A good health serves as the absolute foundation for every other human pursuit, capability, and experience. Without physical and mental well being, achieving professional success, enjoying financial wealth, nurturing relationships, and experiencing personal freedom become incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
Less complaining, more moving... or at least more hydrating
There should not be an excuse to avoid, but rather a plan in place to accomodate health first in our daily schedule. There are minor adjustment which can be useful. I remember, when I was on my weight loss schedule, i intentionally used to add more of the phyical activities in our daily activities. Avoiding elevators / escalators using staircase is one of them. Putting our foot in use for covering shorter distances than hiring commuting services are few to name. If we are excusing to avoid such things then surely we are not concerned our health. Unhealthy habits (like poor diet, physical inactivity, or smoking) offer immediate comfort or convenience, while the negative health consequences build up silently and slowly over many years. Work, family obligations, and daily responsibilities make finding time to schedule appointments, exercise, or cook healthy meals feel impossible.
Your health is an investment, not an expense
It is important for individuals to realize that work and family obligations are not good excuses to neglect our health, because our well-being is the foundation required to sustain both our job and our family. Many people only notice health when it breaks down. Proactive self-respect ensures our body does not force a shutdown through illness or exhaustion. We do not need a massive lifestyle overhaul. Adapting micro-habits in our daily lifestyle prevent larger breakdowns. Success in our career, financial security, and relationships all require physical and mental energy. Without health, pursuing these goals becomes difficult or impossible. Money can buy medical treatments, but it cannot guarantee the return of a lost body or mind.
In good faith - Peace!!

Loving yourself means looking after yourself, and as you quite rightly said, if we don’t know how to look after ourselves, how can we look after others? I think that’s the foundation of everything. Feeling well, knowing what to eat, the right amounts, the need for exercise, it’s all part of a whole that we must learn and put into practice… and we’d also be setting an example for others. Making excuses in advance is a sign that, deep down, you don’t really want to make the change, but verbally you make yourself look good by saying the right things or seeking advice, when in reality you won’t do anything.
It involves knowing a bit about what’s good for the body, it’s the vessel we come into this world to live in, and we should look after it as best we can. I’ve really enjoyed your thoughts, and I agree with them. Big hug!🤗

there should not be compromise, especially in this modern age,when everything is done on the fingertips. there is less physical activity which is a curse to human being. the more we started taking care of yourself, the better we get for the loved ones. Physically / mentally / and emotionally else the daily stress anxiety and other issue may spoil our life.

I agree with you: the first thing we need to take care of is our health; without it, there's nothing. We have to stop making excuses and take action; I've been in that situation too, but my well-being is what matters most.
focusing on our wellbeing should be the top priority, especially in todays life when most of the things are done with ease.

Absolutely true! We manage to find time for almost everything, yet we often neglect our own health. The reality is that taking care of oneself is not a luxury—it is a necessity.
but people do tend to ignore it. they have time for all sort of unwanted things, but prioritizing health is never been on their good book.

In our culture, food is regarded as a remedy and medicine for the body, to be used in moderation and in a beneficial way. Indeed, health is the greatest blessing bestowed upon us and must be given priority
the food quality and life style have changed a lot ove the year, but we have not adjusted accordingly. so we need to mindful with our health

I agree with making excuses to some extent, especially when it comes to health. If you ask me, at my current age of 42, I'm really focused on my health, and that's where I'm investing my time and money. I'm now very careful about what I eat, and I also take vitamin supplements, especially Magnesium Complex.
keeping body naturally fit is more of worth then depending on additional supplement. after 40 everyone should take special care of themselves
