Healing: Self-Care.

You are special, you are unique, there is no one in the world like you – there may be a similar someone, somewhere in the world, who may have the same name, may have similar characteristics but there is actually no one exactly like you anywhere in the world. You are a singular creation of nature, for no one has been composed as you are. So, as you are so exceptional, you need to guard yourself from harm and danger. Hopefully, you were brought up by caring parents or guardians, who have watched over you until you were of an age where you could take responsibility for yourself, your own mind and your own body. However, if you were not cared for as a child there is no reason why you should not be able to take advantage of all the readily-available knowledge at hand to guide you as to how you can achieve good mental health and good body health, it is indeed up to you to take good care of yourself. Unless you suffer with a known, mental disability, you have the capability to make personal choices. Do you choose to stuff yourself with unhealthy food every day? Do you choose to drive like a maniac on your local roads? Do you choose to mix with unsavoury friends? Any of which can bring you down and cause great harm to your mental state and physical body. Alcohol, smoking, drugs, dangerous sports, if done in strict moderation should not be too harmful, but if you are not in complete control of what you do, again it can cause great harm yourself and those who love and care for you. There is very little wrong in trying out different ways of living and trying alternative styles as you go through your life, but at the end of the day, if you want to live a long, healthy, happy life you have to keep tabs, on what you are doing and make the right choices on how much you value your own unique life.  Self-Care it’s your choice, so choose well my friend.
