Know Thy Health By Lynda Hadley Here we are at the end of another year! This is a great time to reflect on the positives and negatives of this year and to make plans for a better future. A good self-evaluation helps to identify patterns (both positive & negative) that help or hinder our health goals. How many of us are moving through life unaware of our physical declines? Do we notice our body changing with each year? This natural decline in our physical abilities is so gradual that most of us won’t take note of it until we are forced to; like at our yearly physical exam. Can you touch your toes?

For example, If I start eating ice cream after dinner; I would start to crave ice cream after dinner. Likewise, if I start going to bed earlier in the evening; I would start to feel sleepy earlier as well. It all boils down to being a victim of, or a master of our habits. So, if you want to change a negative behavior like a food craving, you will need to stop giving in to the craving. If you have ever seen someone take a pacifier from a baby, you understand how challenging it can be. Our bodies are amazingly adaptive and will get stronger if we challenge it with weight training and cardio. Likewise, it will become weaker and less flexible if we spend too much time sitting or lying down. Let’s start this new year with purpose! Chose to do more and work towards being more flexible, more energetic, and more disciplined. We owe it to our future selves to work toward being more physically fit than we are today.
