Wellbeing is a verb…it’s something you DO, not something you POSSESS.
It’s not something you ACHIEVE, like a DEGREE…
a certificate on the wall you will have for life, that no-one can ever take away…
Wellbeing a a state of continual, life-long, DOING…
one action, after the next, after the next,
like riding a bicycle, pedal after pedal after pedal…
it’s the perpetual movement that stops you falling over.
With wellbeing there is no getting “THERE”,
there is no settled final destination,
no silver bullet, no “one thing”, “one secret”,
its a million tiny ACTIONS, DOINGS… wellbeing is self-love in ACTION.
It’s not that one-off achievement that you’ll get sorted one day once life is “less busy” (it will never be).
it’s something you commit to in the now, amongst the busyness, an integral part of the busyness…
there’s never a better time to look after our mental health and physical wellbeing than today,
and tomorrow,
and the day after that and the day after that.
The sooner I realised that (and my god it took me a lot longer than it should!)
and I stopped waiting for the right time or that right bit of magical wellbeing information I was missing,
that’s when it all started to fall into place.
Wellbeing is a verb…it’s something you DO, not something you POSSESS.
DO something for the future you TODAY.
Rinse and repeat tomorrow.
Accept it will never be “done” and do it anyway.
