What constitutes health and wellness? Are you in preventive or corrective health mode? Are you working to avoid disease through proactive healthy habits or are you constantly trying fix what you damaged through poor lifestyle choices towards your health? You are participating in one or the other.
The reality is, if you want to avoid the “disability zone” in the future of your life, your actions towards that goal must start now. It’s time to move from a sickness/curative” mindset to a mindset of “wellness/prevention.”
With all the scientific studies and research readily available on disease prevention these days we are starting to understand that health is not just the absence of disease or simply “not being sick”.
Health is about way more than that…it is about prevention; about seeking out proactive ways to a higher quality of life NOW, of focusing on staying well now by taking responsibility and control – not just acting like a “sitting duck” waiting for disaster and disease to “just happen.”
Wellness is about taking positive action steps in the moment that create the healthy lifestyle changes we need to make…not waiting for disease symptoms to appear and then reacting out of fear.
We are much more likely to experience a health-span that equals our lifespan when we’ve taken control and taking responsibility for our daily habits is the only way to do that. After all, it really isn’t about how long you live that counts…it’s about the quality of life you enjoy while living that long life.
Spending your days locked to a wheel-chair reliant on others destroys your dignity, seriously limits mobility, independence, self-reliance and the quality of life you are living. Your life becomes an “existence” rather than a joyous, active celebration.
Sickness or Wellness Care?
Sickness care is reactive in nature…treating the symptoms of disease after the fact.
Wellness care is proactive and prevents poor health and disease and slows the aging process
You are consciously participating in one of these two areas; inviting disease in with poor habits in which case you are operating in “sickness care” or preventing disease in the first place with healthy habits which allows you to operate in “wellness care.” You are the only one empowered to make these choices for yourself, no one can do it for you. The choice is yours.
A wellness mindset is one that focuses on the attainment of higher levels of health rather than focusing on an absence of symptoms. You might say that wellness care is looking at the glass “half-full” not “half-empty.” It means you are not only free of disease now, but that you are not at risk of them either.
So, even if you already experience poor health, adopting this healthy kind of mindset will help you to focus on finding and eliminating causes rather than treating symptoms as the present “health” system does.
There are billions of dollars spent on “sickness care” yearly while causes continue to be ignored and symptoms continue to get treated. The result is, our health keeps spiraling down at an alarming rate. One out of every two individuals is now experiencing some sort of chronic “lifestyle” disease such as cancer, diabetes or heart disease.
This “sickness industry” treats disease and sickness after it appears as all sorts of drugs are dished out for every possible condition; antibiotics for infection, anti-inflammatory for pain, blood thinning drugs for heart disease, Ritalin for children and the list goes on and on.
Sickness happens, while wellness and good health are something you must practice daily if you hope to reduce the risk of illness and disease and slow the aging process.
The reality is, your health is your responsibility and no one can work around this fact. There is not a doctor or drug on the planet that can offer you a strong, healthy disease resistant body. They may offer you a temporary respite from pain, but without addressing the cause, nothing changes. No one who will ever care as much about your own body as you do, so it’s time to step to the plate and claim responsibility.
Daily diet, exercise and lifestyle habits are the real contributors to our health or the destroyers of it and you are the only one empowered to change destructive habits to healthy ones for yourself.
The reality is, you cannot buy back your health and no amount of money will help you out either. Maintaining superior health is about what you are doing now to avoid disease, not after disease strikes.
Isn’t it time you addressed what’s really needed to gain stellar health and enjoy a disease resistant body?
