Using quotes for health inspiration :)
My inspiration this week comes from watching, listening, and absorbing the hardships, difficulties, stress, compassion (lack of) from those around me. I work retail so I hear a lot of scenarios, parenting, stress evoked responses, etc. throughout my day as well as from my own family, friends, and boyfriend. It is the holiday season, a joyous time, but also a time that typically includes heightened stress, chaos, and even sometimes frustration and disappointment. I completely understand the mixed emotions and feelings, but part of being healthy is maintaining a healthy view on life that allows you to succeed and be emotionally healthy.
Stress greatly impacts your health and if you don’t believe that, take the time to read some of the things stress can cause to your digestive health such as stomach pain. I can speak on this firsthand, as someone with digestive problems, it has been very important for me to learn to control my stress level each minute throughout the day to ensure I don’t further worsen my symptoms and health. Rather than going on and on about my own life learning experiences surrounding emotional stability, I want to use the following quotes to help show why exercise, compassion, and realizing that each person is facing an unforeseen battle for which we may not know is important to remember.
Quote 1: “Exercise is not a chore. It is a luxury to take time out of your busy schedule to take care of your mind and body.”
Quote 2: “Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.”
Quote 3: Wise words from Mother Teresa:
-People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
-If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
-If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
-If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
-When you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.
-If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
-The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
-Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
-In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
