This year ‘World Health Day’ celebrates it’s 70th anniversary and it’s topic is: Universal Health Coverage for everyone, everywhere!
World Health Day is a time to remind ourselves that everyday is an opportunity to care for the health of our loved ones, our planet and all living things around us. It is a chance to recognize global health challenges and movements while encouraging us to take charge of our own Health and Happiness.
Health is the foundation for Happiness and is the key to unlock our true potential. In todays world many of us live a busy lifestyle where we often don’t stop until our system is run down or we fall sick. Do you ever take a moment to pause and ask yourself what you really need? We might feel like we don’t have enough time in a day to care for ourselves… but really, all we have is time. Whether it is a cup of tea, dinner with a loved one, or a walk at the beach, when time is managed in harmony with nature, we end up with more time in good health.
Our planet is a healthy functioning biosphere that provides us with energy like sunlight, oxygen and nutrition. When used properly, all these elements feed us to create the healthy integrated mind, body and soul that we are. When we learn to live in harmony with our environment, we create a beautiful union of health between ourselves and nature.
Dis-eases and medical ailments are a doctors responsibility. However once the dis-ease is no longer there, maintaining true Health is our own responsibility. That is why health can only be achieved through a lifestyle that is integrated into our daily lives.
World Health Day allows us to remember that what we need to sustain our health is in fact around us and within us. Let us take today to make time for ourselves, be grateful for the energy our planet gives us, and wish everyone around us health, love and happiness
Be Healthy, Be Happy!
