Even so, you still have to work to take care of your fitness and health woman status if it's to continue taking care of you. That's the ultimate goal of health and wellness. Since I'm making it my mission to promote health for women why not come along for the ride and make it your mission too.
Many women have huge aspirations - I know, I have them too.
Yet for some women these largely remain unfulfilled - a
pipe dream. Why? Because you're most probably too
involved taking care of everybody and everything else but,
your pursuit of your woman health and fitness aspirations.
It's exactly the same with your health woman self care. Although, your not attaining your aspirations is unlikely to be as detrimental as your not attending to your womans health. Please don't let your women's health aspirations become a pipe dream.
What, or who is a health woman?
A general definition of health, which I believe apply in part to women's health, refers to:
"A combination of the absence of
illness, the ability to cope with
everyday activities, physical
fitness, and high quality of life"
Assuming you fit with this broad definition, you could be said to be in a 'state of balance - of 'wellness'; which is a term used to describe the emotional and pyschological state of being healthy. The wonderful thing about a health woman is that she can create, maintain and promote her current and future woman health.
How you think and what you subsequently do will determine whether your actions promote, create or damage your overall fitness and woman health.
Any woman can make a commitment to her woman health fitness promotion, but first you must employ your own system of wellness monitor. That is, monitoring how you're doing health wise on a regular basis.
If you are middle aged or of more mature years, please don't make the assumption that getting older means becoming less proactive. Such an assumption is an automatic self-imposed limitation on your expectations. And since self-limitation happens in your mind, your mind controls you, - how you think and what you do. So none of that please!
Most of us, to a lesser or greater extent, and at some point or another, take our womens' health for granted. For many of us, it's only when we get the 'wake up call' of sudden serious ill-health, that we actively plan and nuture good woman health and fitness. But do you really need to wait until you get to that stage before you act?
Well, not any more. A health woman's care regime involve making choices. These choices include you actively promoting your womens' health. An important aspect of your health promotion is drawing on and making use of your own internal wellness monitor. This is your starting point and will influence the decisions you take about doing certain things over others. And I know you're going to really surprise me.
What are your excuses for postponing your Health woman health promotion?
Health for women is like what a piece of real chocolate is to our taste buds. Yet many women, take their health for granted by not giving it the attention it deserves. When it comes to health and women, there's a tendency to prioritise the other priorities, which, if given less attention, would most probably take care of themselves. Let's take a look at some of the excuses us women allow to pre-occupy us, hyjacking our health woman health care in the process.
But aren't these the usual list of excuses you give yourself - that you just don't have the time! Ask yourself this, - how come you find the time to care for that wonderfully spotless home, your neighbour keeps commenting upon? How is that going to help you should your women's health and fitness fail you?.
Now I'm going to ask you something and I want an honest answer. How much time and effort did you put into planning, - double and quadruple checking that everything was just perfect, for your son's or daughter's last birthday party; or the menu for that dinner party you threw - when was it again? You found time then and you can find time now to make a start on planning your actions to promote your health woman status.
What use will you be to your family once you've exhausted all your reserves? In my planning of this website, I made darn sure I took the timeto provide you with near enough everything you would need to help you succeed. Now show your appreciation by taking care of you.
You'll find all the tools you'll need on this website so you see, you now don't really have an excuse. But just in case you do - think on this:
While you're too busy taking care of everybody and every- thing else, your woman health, - as sure as tomorrow is another day, is slipping away from you. Don't leave it too late - by promising yourself that you'll do it tomorrow. Have you heard the saying 'a promise is a comfort to a fool?'
And you're certainly not that - are you! If you're waiting for that perfect moment, be warned that circumstances may never present the perfect timing or the conditions you're waiting for.
Health for women means being healthy - and happy in the process; this is the ultimate in attaining wellness. It's about managing your life in the present so that it is enjoyable now and reward you and those you love, well into the future. Think health woman and stop putting off for tomorrow, what you can do today.
You'll find this women's health exercise especially useful for setting your health womens health goals.
