morals – Liz's Everest

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

As ideas float through the world and enter my mind, I am amazed at the dexterity of language. As a Writer, I like to listen, to sample thoughts and capture them on paper.

Recently, I started going to art classes. To sit still at lunch time, and sketch my surroundings is very carthatic. It is a welcome hobby, unlike television that I gave away a few years ago.

As for what is uppermost in my mind at the moment, it is how important it is that we teach our girls to stand up for themselves, to give permission to themselves to only allow loving and genuinely kind men into their lives.

We as women, are in charge of how we raise our children. For the sake of humanity, let us raise morally robust children. As Aunts, Mums, and Grandparents, the future is in our hands.

The cornerstone of life and success. Often ignored and taken for granted, but at one’s peril.

Let’s talk health.

What naturally springs to mind is physical health. This comprises of eating well and getting enough physical exercise. For me, I ride my push bike to work and around town, and I eat a mostly vegetarian diet with a little bit of fish.

But there are other areas of life requiring a watchful eye and some sort of strategy.

Mental health is important, especially when there are mental illnesses and dementia lurking in the future if not handled correctly. One strategy is to do mental puzzles or a hobby such as writing.

Emotional health also is worthy of a mention. Making connections within family, friend networks, and the community can protect from isolation and loneliness. And it can be as simple as asking the person at the cash register how their day has been.

But the real area that ties all these together is our shared spiritual health. I’m not talking about what church or religion one belongs too. I’m talking morals, ethics and a vision for one’s own life.

Committing to a vision larger than I am is something that gets me out of bed and keeps me striving forward. Shared with my employer, my family and friends, and my community, this vision keeps me empowered.

What is your vision?

How are you looking after every facet of your health?
