QRS #1: On Priorities and Health

On Priorities and Health

This is a QRS Series – Question, Recommendation and Saying – focusing on things that are important for us, as parents and as professionals.

Question:

We all talk about priorities, but urgent work takes precedence over our ‘real priorities’ in our daily life. Thus, the question arises:

What are your top priorities? What percentage of your time are you spending on those priorities? Are the two in sync?

Recommendation:

Good health features on most people’s top priority list. Eat healthy and take out at least thirty minutes each day to exercise, walk, run, or do yoga. Thirty minutes a day for your biggest asset, health, is not too much. Wake up 30 minutes early and spend it on your health.

As Aarya, our very own private investigator would say – Health is our dearest friend if we nurture it, but it can become our biggest enemy if we ignore it.
