What is it about us and our society? We place too much emphasis on work and our jobs. We work our guts out to ensure we have fulfilled our responsibilities, work even harder to make a good impression and get blood out of a stone to ensure we further ourselves up the career ladder. AND in all of this we often forget to put ourselves first.
Now I know this doesn't apply to all of you out there because there are plenty of things that put working life in perspective for most but today I learnt first hand that we have to put some things first before our work responsibilities. Today for me I learnt that our health is far too important. As a teacher I am faced with many germs everyday from kids who still haven't learnt at the age of 12 plus, to cover their bloody coughs! Anyway, so I have a chest infection which I developed after getting a cough from my fiance who also had a chest infection. So being under the above head space of work being a priority, he soldiered on and pushed himself too hard and now his health is suffering. He has developed a bad case of Pleurisy, borderline Pneumonia! Anyways, without going into it too much detail, I've made my point...
1. Listen to your body and put yourself first at least once when you get the flu this winter.
2. Always listen to the women in your life. ie. Your mum, fiance, girlfriend, wife etc. They may be a real nag when it comes to things like this BUT it may save you a whole heap of pain in the end.
AND
3. Sometimes you have to cancel your plans just so you can rest up. So sorry friends if we're M.I.A for a few weeks untill we're all better!
Click here for a smile!
Love and Hugs xoxo
