We all have a tendency to blame others for our problems and miseries. We conveniently chose a suitable target to blame, some of us blame it on our busy schedule for not finding any time for exercise, some blame it on stress from our various addictions, and some blame it on the pressure to remain connected to our addiction to social media, some to family pressure, some to the boss or job-related stuff, and the list goes on like this. Most of the time, we blame it on everything except ourselves for the problems we face, especially the problems related to our wellness. It gives us a false sense of belief that we are trying our best, but the situations and people around us are making it difficult, or there is something beyond our control that is responsible for the way we live and behave. But the truth is, we are the primary beneficiary of our wellness so we should be able to navigate it and manage it better than anyone else, and we should start from ourselves first if something is not right.
Wellness is a personal issue, others can definitely help but only the concerned person holds the key to start and restart the engine which drives it to do something and gives it a direction. Also, wellness requires some simple initial steps: healthy diet choices, regular physical activity (it doesn't have to be a gym or rigorous sports, one can choose from simple walking to competing in a marathon), a regular sleep schedule, and stress management. I agree that drastic changes introduced in our lives due to tremendous technological development have made many of these things that were part of our regular lifestyle just a few decades ago extremely challenging, but this cannot be an excuse to compromise our health and wellness. The major benefit of improving our lifestyle choices could be felt in all aspects of our day-to-day lives. The extra strength and energy that we get could be used in doing things that we enjoy, staying disease-free, and being healthy also allows us to help others if they need any help. These are just a few benefits among many which can be listed.
So, what's stopping you from taking control of your wellness? Remember, you are the prime beneficiary of your wellness, so think twice before blaming it on something else for your bad lifestyle choices. Take responsibility and contribute towards having a healthy and happy society.
