"Research your own experience... Absorb what is useful... Reject what is useless... Add what is specifically your own."
The above quote was taken from the documentary, "Game Changers" where UFC Fighter and Combative's Expert James Wilks explains what he learned from Bruce Lee and how he applied Lee's theory after a severe knee injury took him out of the game for a while.
How does the above quote resonate with you?
...Pause here... take a deep breath... exhale slowly...repeat three times and be present...
This is the fourth Wellness Wednesday of 2020. Think about your personal health and wellness experience for a moment.
What is the the challenge?
...be honest with yourself, is there something you're ignoring or avoiding... have you scheduled your annual doctor visits... have you been a victim of time... do you need to do some research and get another opinion... or perhaps, just get moving..?
What will you research to help you continue to improve your physical health?
Think about it for a moment... is it time to review medication you've been taking for a while... have you spent anytime researching the side effects... what supplements are you taking... is there something new worth looking into...
...how's your mobility... is there an alternative form of exercise that will benefit you at this time..?
What will you reject?
...this made me stop and think....
I challenge you to be your own advocate. You have a right to ask your doctor questions and demand answers... if you don't know what to ask, bring someone you trust with you to those appointments... don't automatically accept a diagnoses... do your research... you know your body best... Speak up... if your physician is not listening, perhaps it's time to look for another one, or at least seek another opinion.
What does your personal 2020 health and wellness plan look like?
... How will you make it your own?
Be intentional about your health and wellness... Encourage others to do the same. Watch what happens!
