Hello ,

A new and hopefully improved look this month. It's November already and another year is almost over.

What have you achieved so far this year and what do you want to achieve in the next two months?

You may have noticed a break from newsletters and blog posts. I've been taking time out recently. Not completely - I'm still working with my regular clients, but just stepping back a bit.

I was diagnosed with cancer in June, had successful surgery in August and I'm now undergoing a course of chemo followed by radiotherapy early next year.

It's the sort of challenge that puts your life in perspective and makes you realise what's important and what's not.

That's why I wanted to highlight the importance of your health this month.

Until next time,

Clare

P.S. I'm fine, feeling positive and the outcome is looking good.

Your Most Important Asset

Your health is your most important asset.

If you don't look after it, poor diet, lack of exercise, long working hours and increased stress levels can lead to long term health problems.

While I've never been a super-health nut, I do like to keep reasonably fit and healthy and look after myself.

Everything I was reading about recovery times related to the 'average' person, who is probably a lot less fit and healthy than I am.

My own recent health challenge has bought home even more the importance of taking responsibility for your health.

If you're fit and healthy it means:

you'll be less likely to get ill in the first place, although some illnesses make no distinction as to age, fitness or state of health (like cancer).
you'll recover more quickly when you do get ill
you'll be able to deal with any treatment better and be more able to cope with some of the harsh realities and risks associated with surgery and treatment.

You owe it to yourself to be fit and healthy, so you can really enjoy your family and friends for years to come.

We all know that poor health in later life costs - and it might not be as late you think. Health problems start to creep in during your 40's.

It's no fun being ill or needing extensive treatment, not only the physical and emotional impact on your own body but the impact and effect it has on your family and friends.

"Prevention is better than cure."

Make sure you have regular check-ups to keep on top of your health - especially as you get older. If something's not quite right - get it checked.

Do you know your BMI and your resting heart rate?
Do you need to get your blood pressure, cholesterol checked?
Have you thought about your general diet and fitness - what impact does it have on your health?
What impact does your lifestyle have on your health.

You only appreciate the importance of good health when it comes under threat or when it's gone.
