I was talking with a patient this morning, and as she was explaining the stress in her life to me I realized that many people have not heard the full story on stress, how the body responds to it, and what it does to their bodies over time. This is another conversation I have daily, so I wanted to share it with you. First, I will tell you a story about a stressful event, and then we will break it down afterward.
My purpose is to be happy, healthy, vibrant, and to teach others to do the same. If you are healthy you can be a better citizen, spouse, parent, worker, and friend. You have more energy to devote to your purpose and vision, more years to achieve your goals, and more time on earth to enjoy your loved ones. This is how we build better communities, one healthy family at a time
Today I would like to share a story with you from an unknown author. It is applicable in many ways, but as you are reading it, think of yourself as the carpenter of your body. You hold within you the power to lead a long, healthy life if you use the right materials and the right effort. God supplied the blueprint, and daily we provide the materials to rebuild. Build wisely, and live abundantly.
