Are You Wilting?

I just heard a great analogy, which sums up how i feel about wellness.
If you saw a wilting plant, what would you do?  Would you give it a drug?  Or maybe some water?

If you're not feeling well, have you considered that there may be nothing WRONG with you?  It could just be your body reacting normally to unfavourable conditions.  Now obviously serious illnesses do occur and a proper investigation is always the best course of action.

But if the tests come back inconclusive, and the 'treatment' is just to dose up on symptom-suppressing medication, then a better solution might be to look at why your body isn't thriving.

Example:
Low energy, can't get up in the mornings, no motivation and generally run-down.

Thyroid, iron levels, blood works all normal.  No evidence of anything sinister.

Next questions:  Do you like your job?  Are you lacking regular movement?  Eating too many grains?  Using caffeine and sugar more and more to get through the day?  Still smoking?

Solution:  Keep a food diary for a week, you'll be surprised.  Go for a walk at lunchtime instead of eating at your desk.  Buy a paper and circle the jobs you quite like the sound of.  Nothing more, just start with that.

Make a start, then change course along the way.  Worth a go huh?
