How Do You View Your Health .... Expense or Investment? (Part 1) | Sheila Meyer


**Updated 1/2/2023**

Most of the time the way your mind's eye sees things is how it will be.  Your life will take that path.  So, where in that path do you place the importance of health?

Start with a list of "priorities" with the most important being at the top.  And, because it is a no-brainer that your religion or your faith would normally be at the top, let's just leave it out for the purpose of this discussion. Now, create a second list placing things of "value" ..... things you are willing to invest money on ..... latest technology (cell phone, tablets, etc), car, home, etc.

How do your two lists compare?  Are they the same or different?  Where is "health" on your lists? Do you view health as an "expense" or and "investment"?

Unfortunately, health is not valued until it is lost. Losing something means it has been "diminished", that it has "escaped from" or is "no longer in your possession". From an emotional and/or physical perspective of health this would pertain to any kind of "decline" or the loss following a "tragic event". 

Now, of the things you spend money on each month, make a list of those items you would be most willing to sacrifice and with the top item being the easiest to cut-back on.  Where is "health" placed on this list?  Is it at the bottom?  Better yet, is it not on this list at all? Unfortunately, for whatever reason, health seems to be the easiest item to be reduced or eliminated.  

Basically, if you do not make time for your health now, you will be making time for illness later.  Pay now or pay later.  It is this investment that will allow you to do all those other things you love and will keep you around longer to enjoy your kids and grandkids, family and friends. 

Good or bad, health has the greatest consequences of our lifestyle choices ..... "be proactive not reactive".  

So, how do you view your health .... expense or investment?

My Freedom Journey

 
People, including doctors, thought we were crazy...all in our heads.  After all, how could normal, every day household and personal product smells affect your ability to function, to cause you to be incoherent and feel shaky inside, to have an emotional break-down?  Inside we were dying.  Outside we appeared normal. 
Fragrances were, and are, part of every day, normal life.....candles, laundry, cleaning, perfumes.  Everyone and their neighbor used them.  For us, we either had to isolate ourselves or suffer the following day or two with a toxic hangover.  Isolation is never a good option, especially with children.  During the summer it was impossible to go outside without inhaling someone's laundry or the recent lawn product application.  My husband was so bad one summer that he could eat constantly and, yet, still lose weight.  Every month I would get a sinus infection and/or chest congestion. 
Then came the food sensitivities and autoimmune disorders.  How could food cause my ears to be red and hot, my cheeks to flush, and cause my entire body to break out multiple times in a horrendous, red, itchy, inflamed rash only to burn when scratched and ooze yellow, sticky fluid?  Imagine, every day having gauze pads over the majority of your body under your clothes and hoping the rash doesn't drain so much that it soaks through your clothes.  It would take months to disappear.  People said "just get a cortisone/steroid shot" for relief.  They could not understand why that was not my choice. 
By discovering and eliminating my many triggers, finding a new, non-toxic way to support my immune system, my liver, and my thyroid, I have not had a major skin breakout for about 3 yrs and have been able to manage my autoimmune disorders without the use of standard medication. 
I finally found a way to acquire "Freedom from Toxins", "Freedom to Achieve Wellness", and "Freedom to Choose".
