"Talking about sex , no matter how difficult this may be, is an expression of your willingness to be sexually responsible. It is also a sign that you understand that relationships don’t just happen, they take work, vigilance, the ability to confront problems and the courage to stick around when the focus is on something other than passion."

Heath for Your Happiness

Is it better to be healthy, or happy?

Sometimes we stress out so much about not eating right, not exercising, not taking care of ourselves. Because it is so important to take care of ourselves, especially if NOT taking care of ourselves leaves us in flares and a lot of pain.

But stressing out about what to do for dinner, or beating ourselves up about the fact that we didn’t go on our walk this evening is really quite bad when it comes to flares, which can be stress-triggered.

How can we make what makes us happy also what makes us healthy? And how can we stop doing the bad habits that make us happy yet make us unhealthy?

Some thoughts: Diets don’t work. Lifestyle changes do.

Forcing yourself doesn’t make a good habit. Loving yourself does.

Punishing yourself won’t break bad habits. Respecting yourself will.

A Challenge: I challenge you to make a list of what makes you healthy vs what makes you happy. Then let some patterns jump out at you. See where it takes you. Tell me what you end up discovering?
