Often times when we look at health and making changes to improve ourselves, we think about how it will affect us. We will feel better, have more energy, feel happier, and be more confident. However, making changes in our lives, whether they are positive or negative, will directly influence those closest to us.
When I am healthy, I have more energy and I play with my children. I take them to the park and I don’t watch them play, I play with them.
When I am healthy, I am happy. My relationship with my partner thrives. I am more present with him. We enjoy each other’s company by laughing and sharing new experiences.
When I am healthy, I am a positive role model for my children. When they see me being active, playing, eating healthy foods, having patience, they are more likely to do the same. They are sponges and they take in everything that I do and say.
What does your health mean to those closest to you?
