Health or wealth which one needs more focus

This article will be more of a self-check-in where I would like to keep a check on my health while trying to accumulate some wealth for myself and my family. Health and wealth are usually in the competition. Sometimes we compromise health to gain wealth; when we have more wealth, we have already spoiled our health and end up spending our wealth on health. It looks like a cycle. For me, the thoughts are on these lines for the past few days. I have been having a very bad work-life balance and have been sleeping very little. Two years back I had severe anxiety issues that took me towards depression and stuff. Realizing the importance of health, I slowed down a little bit and focused on my health for some time.

In the last few months, I realized that I'm getting back to the old days of doing a lot of stressful work and back-to-back calls with no room to keep my head idle. This ultimately makes my mind not rest even if I try to sleep. Sometimes it can get hard for me to sleep immediately after I hit my bed. I'm not a person of that kind. I usually sleep within 5 seconds maximum but these days my mind cannot stop thinking and it makes me stay awake.

Health should be the winner

There is no wonder that it is tempting to sacrifice everything for wealth. Especially for someone who did not have the luxury of wealth can find it hard to accept the fact that they should slow down. This race is dangerous because it takes a lot of toll on the health. I would like to reduce my workload a little bit so that I can have a better quality of life. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to become a morning person and have a healthy routine. But for some reason, it is not happening. I think if I become a morning person, I can somehow solve all my problems and even be more productive because it is a proven fact that people achieve a lot more in the morning hours than staying late at night.

Wealth should not be for health

After we earn a lot of wealth compromising our health, we shouldn't be spending all that wealth on getting our health better. This keeps going on and on in my head but I find it hard to do something about it. Becoming a morning person is what I think can help a little bit and then maybe make a few more lifestyle changes. I have to reduce the usage of digital devices late at night. That will hopefully help me wind up soon and hit the bed sooner.

I still remember how hard it was to deal with my anxiety issues. It was very hard to come out of it but I did it. I don't want any similar panic attack events in my life ever again. I spent a lot of money on medication and trying to get my life better but all that was required was for me to calm down. These days I'm losing it once again. I would like to calm down more and get out of my working tables and do something more physical than mental. I hear my brain saying "Leave me alone" most of the time and I still keep pushing it hard.

Hopefully, this self-check-in will give me the confidence to be a better person health-wise and make me move in the direction where I give more importance to my health. If you are someone traveling on the same path as me, it is the right time to do a self-check.
