An organization will act as though you are the only one that is of value to them until you break down for a few days, and your task is not properly carried out. In fact, you will be amazed that the person that will be employed to fill up your position will even outperform you. I have a friend that works with an NGO; any day is opportune to relate with him. He keeps telling me how he gets so busy with his office work that most times it becomes so difficult for him to take care of himself. And I will respond by leaving the words above in my opening speech for him.
My husband was booked for a journey last Friday to another state; not too long after, his church village called and requested that he come over with his team for a vigil. Well, I told him he won't make it for the vigil unless he cancels the journey for this week; well, he said no. He was still on that journey till night; I was like, You just have to talk to someone to stand in for you unless you are ready to take a mattress along to the vigil. Finally, he made that arrangement, which he would have made earlier, but he didn't think of how stressed he would be after that journey and that it would encroach into the night, coupled with the bad road.
As I always say, work never finishes, as the end of a phase is the beginning of another phase of work, and most times we get so carried away trying to meet up with deadlines that we forget to give our system some time out for a break. Just in the case of a laptop or phone that breaks when it's been overused, also our body can break down when we fail to take proper care of it. When we eventually breaks down those things we needed to have been down will be left undone or the people we work for will look for a replacement.
Just last week I noticed I wasn't responding so well psychologically, and that was not a good feedback for me, so I decided to walk down to the medical facility since it's not so far from my residence. On getting to the hospital, I did a quick check of my BP, weight, and some random checks. That took some fortune from me but that was not so much to compare with the sanity I got afterward. You know, sometimes we just need to get some checks and be reassured that everything is just ok. The doctor also checked my medical history, and it was so impressive that both my BP and weight and more are just consistent. Talking of next time to revisit the facility, we are in case at the moment; it just has to be a monthly thing according to the doctor, though at the moment I am seriously under the weather and am on medication.
As I said in my beginning statement, it is important to care for our health because work is always there, and thinking that we want to get all done before eating or anything else may be to the detriment of our well-being. We make more wealth when we are healthy. Thank you, friends, for stopping by. I do wish you all the best this week and beyond. My entry to this week's first edition.
That was a good one. For some people instead of going for a medical check up, they will just buy a little drugs and take which may worsen the situation later on.
Sometimes I am also afraid of medical check up, because it is believe that you must find one sickness or the other. But with your story I am encouraged to go for myself once a while.
Thanks for sharing
Over the counter drugs have lead many into trouble...yeah, some doctors who just want to consumes people's money will always act that way that's why it's good to visit a reliable facility.
Thanks for reading
It is good to have a supportive wife who thinks about the welfare of the husband
Am blushing... thanks momma
It is true that work never ends and people become so busy in work that they cannot find time for themselves. Health is wealth. We should understand that only if we have good health, we will be able to do some work, otherwise nothing will be done.
