Necessity is the mother of all invention, and motivation as well. That is why when I got up after laying half-dead in bed for almost a year, I had the motivation to workout and achieve a certain level of fitness. So that I never have to experience anything like it ever again. However, now the ultimate necessity and task are to provide for my family, for which I'm working day and night, and even if I'm not working, I'm always thinking about and preparing for my next task.
So, even if I decided to get fit again, it wouldn't be as consistent as it once was. And I'm not a fan of lousy activities and results. Also, living paycheck to paycheck doesn't help much either. Self-care is quite expensive here. However, I'm about to change things soon. I'll either eliminate or delegate certain tasks and put that time into physical and mental well-being.
Paying the bills is important, but so is staying alive, I guess...
Exactly!
How will we be more productive if we don't have the mental and bodily health to make it happen.
It is a synergistic equation, where the result is the energy we will always need to reinvest in ourselves and benefit others.
If they depend on you, you must invest in your self-care.
I'm glad you are well and healthy now.
Yes, it is becoming a bit concerning, especially for them. So, I must take a step toward my well-being. If I live long enough, then I'll work and make whatever amount of money is needed to have financial security. But, stuffing it all into a short period is just stupid, I guess.
