Have you ever made a commitment to get healthy then come down with a raging flu or pull a neck muscle? Damn!!! Sometimes life seems really cruel. All our good intentions get sidelined and we go back to our same old habits. Have you ever noticed in your own life that there are times when everything seems to fall into place, and there are other times when the simplest tasks are a sheer struggle?

It sometimes difficult to understand why these things happen. Sometimes we blame the planets, the full moon, the seasons. At other times we think it’s our preordained astrological configuration or bad karma committed in previous lives! These are all methods the human mind uses to rationalise what is happening. Useful? Yes maybe. Truthful? Who really knows!

Sometimes it is just “the time”, and as with everything, time passes and moves into another phase. That is the reality of life. Life can never be without change. Lack of change is stagnation, and stagnation is death.So when it comes to health, it is important to embrace change. This applies to the mind and spirit, as much, if not more than the body.

Do those things that help us to stay in health, but accept the fact that there will be fluctuations and turbulence along the way.  There are too many factors outside our control.

In the meantime, enjoy the good times, hold tight in the tough times, and expect the next time to bring something new!
