EDITOR'S note WELLNESS MATTERS
idea what is coming next, no idea whatsoever.
Wellness matters more than we realise. It’s interesting just how much our wellness matters, especially when we are unwell. On February 6, I came down with ‘Rona’, and it honestly hit me for a six. I was more unwell than I have ever been in my entire life, and it made me really think about WELLNESS in general and just how much we often take our health for granted. It also made me realise how grateful I am for a partner that absolutely always has my back and looks after me through thick and thin. I’ve heard of lots of people who have contracted the virus and been okay, but I personally was not one of those people. Our longevity comes banging at the door when we realise just how fragile we are. This virus is a perfect example of the fact that we actually have absolutely no idea what could be just around the corner. It is the unknown, I think, that makes people fearful. But I guess if we are honest, the reality is that everything is always unknown. We have no
I, for one, have decided that I can either be frightened about that, or excited about it. It comes down to choice.
What are you choosing? If we choose to live in fear, we are always worried, always stressed, always upset. On the other hand, if we choose to live in excitement, then we are always living in anticipation of what may come our way. Excitement and anxiety are similar feelings, one is a healthy emotion and one is an unhealthy one. Remember that the next time you are anxious about something you can’t control and turn your anxiety into excitement. The other reality is that nothing is actually the end of the world, except of course the actual end of the world. But everything else we can survive.
