We have our heads in the sand when it comes to our future! Living with our future in mind is how everyone should be living but I actually believe not many people do. With the fast paced lives that everyone seems to lead the assumption is that we are living for the moment. I think if we all took a minute to pause and look at our lives, our behaviors and health habits we could see what we are doing to our futures. It is easy to write or say the words but not so easy to actually make drastic changes. We can look at our diets and know what we need to eat but most of the time we don’t. We can see that our bodies need rest and exercise and again most of the time we don’t get either of those things. I believe that people know instinctually what they need for their bodies but we live in a time that is so busy that we ignore the needs. We are all about self-reward in out culture. We know what taste’s good, feels good and sounds good and 9 times out of 10 it is not good for our future. We are shortening our lives and actually the quality of our lives in the process.

Duce,
ReplyDeleteI agree we all should live our lives with keeping our future and our families future in mind. What we do to our bodies not only affects us, but our families and friends as well. If we become ill with lung cancer from smoking, not only are we hurting ourselves, but are family as well. Our families want us around as long as possible and we need to think of them as well. Learning the things that I have so far in this class, has made me realize that I need to change my lifestyle and be an example to my husband and kids and start living my life with my future in mind.

I love the picture you found! I agree almost 100% with how peopel view life. We should all be more concerned with what we eat, feel, and our bodies in general. I still feel that life is too short to not indulge once in a while though.
