This year is the year of the Metal Rabbit.
I started reading about the predictions for this year and after a quick glance decided to ignore what I read. Why? Because I didn’t like what I read. There wasn’t much positive. The article I found wrote of conflict, misfortunes, and scarcity.
Are you the kind of person who wants to know about all the bad stuff so that you can prepare for it? Or do you avoid it because then you feel you’ll create misfortunes because you are looking for them?
I’m not exactly either of these, but I’m definitely more of the latter. I don’t like watching or reading too much news because much of it seems to focus on the bad.
There is one big exception for me. I want to predict my health and the health of my patients. I want to know if there are risks or predispositions for illness and disease. Why? Because while I don’t think I can do much (or anything) about the stock market, natural disasters, or wars, I do believe that I can contribute to a happy health outcome. Prevention is key.
I like this quote:
“If you want to know your future, look at what you are doing in this moment.” — Tibetan proverb
If you are eating poorly, not getting enough sleep, stressing out, or are exercising little or not at all, you have a hint to your future.
Personally, my challenge is getting enough sleep. I can sleep no problem. I just choose to stay up. I’m like a little kid who’s afraid that going to bed means missing out on something exciting. I have a lot of energy, generally. I like being active. I know many people who love to sleep, but I love being awake! I can, however, predict that after too many nights of not enough sleep, my body will tell me that enough’s enough.
So, what I’m doing at present is setting an alarm to GO TO BED!
What simple steps can you make now to make sure that your present actions contribute to your future better health?
Not sure what to do? Ask me.
G’night!
Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future.
