What's
your #1 priority? What is your greatest commitment in your life where you make
an authentic and valid contribution?
If you said that health is
your #1 priority, do you know why?
If your health isn't your #1 priority,
why do you feel that way?
Here's an individual response to each example
of #1 priorities noted above:
Perhaps they say their family is most
important.
With
neglected or poor health, and/or dangerous or risky behaviors and activities,
a person's contribution towards their loved ones may not last as long it could
without a solid foundation of opitimal health, the very thing that affects human
performance.
Perhaps they say their job is most important to
them.
With neglected or poor health, and/or dangerous or risky behaviors
and activities, a person's contribution towards their job, productivity, or career
may be short-lived. Tardiness and taking sick days may lead to warnings or even
being let go for a lack of commitment, availability, and optimal productivity.
Perhaps
they say money is their #1 priority.
With neglected or poor health,
and/or dangerous or risky behaviors and activities, a person's contribution towards
their income, or management and usage of money, may be short changed due to a
sudden illness, progressive bout with disease, or their ultimate and outrageous
healthcare costs.
Some may say food, water, and shelter.
With
neglected or poor health, and/or dangerous or risky behaviors and activities,
a person's contribution towards obtaining and enjoying the basic necessities of
life may be all that's left after an unfortunate illness or injury. Sometimes,
without proper arrangements, insurance, and financial planning, some of these
necessities can run out.
Others may state that sleep is most important.
With
neglected or poor health, and/or dangerous or risky behaviors and activities,
a person's contribution towards getting enough rest may lead to oversleeping,
insomnia, or fatigue. While rest is an important factor of optimal health, one
who values sleep as their #1 priority may suffer from depression, anxiety disorders,
overload, stress, or lack of ambition. |
