Enduring a Challenging Day: The Importance of Self-Care

Today was a very tough one for me and might be the toughest day of this week as I just can't help but take as much rest as possible after getting back home.

This morning, I went with Dad to the hospital to submit the test results we were asked to take last week. On getting there, we saw a lot of people already waiting in line to see a doctor.

My heart sank immediately because that meant we'd have to spend hours in the queue before we could be attended to.

While waiting, I tried as much as possible to keep myself busy to avoid looking at people around me too much because it makes me sad when I see people with a broken leg, a messed-up eye, or any other sign of weakness.

I feel like I could attract the negativity and start becoming sad for them, which isn't good for anyone because those people are here for relief and not for you to pity them.

However, it got me thinking about how much I've got to make my health a #1 priority and of great importance so I don't have to become a drug peddler when I am old.

Personally, I hate taking drugs, and this is why I work out to keep my body fit and free from any disease. And I can boldly say that whenever I stick to my workout, I usually don't get sick or anything, but whenever I stop, that's when I start to feel unhealthy.

Health is wealth, but I think many of us don't really take this to heart. To cut the long story short, because I am barely typing this right now and it's already midnight, which means I should be sleeping.

It happened that we spent up to 6 hours before we finally got to see a doctor. Sitting in one place for hours really messed me up, and even if I did take a stroll between those hours, it still didn't suffice.

On leaving the clinic, we got to the pharmacy to get the drugs needed and headed back home. On getting home, I realized it's already time for the office, but my body aches like hell, which made me choose to just lay down, relax, and recharge my body.

After waking up a few hours ago, I can say I feel much better, which is why I'm finding it hard to sleep right now.

BUT STILL, GOOD NIGHT
