Worry about physical health is an obstacle to peace. Most of us need to stop worrying so much about health and instead make changes in our lives to take better care of ourselves. As with other changes, it may be easier to make adjustments gradually, in stages.
More physical exercise is important for health. We can walk instead of driving short distances and take the stairs instead of riding the elevator.
Most of us need to change our diet. We can gradually reduce animal products and add more plants, do more food preparation at home, look for restaurants and take-out places that have healthier food, figure out a way to drink more water.
If peace is the goal, it is important to make health a priority but not an obsession. Diet and exercise should add to our lives, not be a struggle or source of guilt.
Today, think of one small change you could make in your life to add to your health. Make the change or don’t make the change, but don’t worry about it.
