Some
of you reading this may be enjoying your pinnacle years of health.
Others may be struggling with a difficult diagnosis. Still others may
feel trapped in a cycle of bad habits. Regardless where you are, one of
the key points of living with health is living each moment to the
fullest. It is pivotal that we take the moment in front of us, and live
that moment with hope. Sometimes our best intentions of planning ahead
for our health can rob of us of the happiness of our health TODAY. As a
healthcare provider, I wanted to remind us all of some key concepts
from the science of health, that I have learned time and again from
caring for children:
Stop and appreciate each breath, regardless of your future goals.
Trust others more freely. Let yourself be filled with hope by embracing a child like faith in LOVE and LIFE.
Don't worry about tomorrow. Plan for tomorrow's health, but, appreciate what you have now.
Children
are notorious for embracing the moment, regardless of what lies ahead.
They are notorious for trusting implicitly. That must be why there are
so many illustrations of embracing child like faith. The evidence is
clear that strength in the moment comes from a mental agility and
mindfulness of the present. Trust and hope in the moment are essential
to health. Today's tip reminders are inspired by a young Piraha boy I
cared for in the Amazon jungles of Brazil:
I had been assigned to
work with a community health group, screening for malaria in rural areas
of northwestern Brazil. One of our tasks was to test for malaria, and
treat the cases we found. I expected to be treating bedridden patients,
with high fevers, depleted from all energy. Instead what I found were
many children who were playing soccer in the fields, while testing
positive for malaria! In attempt to treat each individual case, I
called a young boy, Joao, into the clinic. His blood level of malaria
was high, but, not his energy or zeal for life. He was about 7 years
old, and his frailness hid behind his intense energy. I told his mom he
had malaria, and that he would need to take the medicine to treat it for
a few days. As we checked his temperature, his high fever was a
surprise to me. He was so energetic, and seemed to face such a difficult
disease without a care in the world! I can even remember him begging
his mother to let him finish his game of soccer before he started the
malaria medication!. He lived moment by moment, and it was obvious he
had grown accustomed to appreciating whatever opportunity life gave him,
with or without malaria.
