I think I am sick because I feel something bad in my body. I am tired always. I just realized that working too much without enough rest and proper nutrition could ruin your health. God, I hate to be sick because it means it needs money to buy medicine and pay for the medical check up. I will never ever abuse my body anymore just because of money.

It's hard to keep that balance of working enough but not so much that we make ourselves sick. It doesn't do much good to make money if we have to pay it all to a doctor!

Yup. Everybody needs adequate rest and nutrition. Otherwise it is very easy to fall sick. If I'm not mistaken adults need around 6 to 8 hours of sleep daily for a proper rest. I hope you will be able to get enough rest from now on.

You do not need to over-stretch or abuse your body, you should take plenty of rest, whenever possible.

It is usual that people spend more energy than they should, trying to get all they want at once. I´m glad you discovered that your body must be respected. Take care of it and you will be able to work better and happier too.

Hey there I am glad you have decided on doing the right thing. We should never over do something and if the body can't handle it, it needs to stop. I think health is the biggest thing coz with health, you can earn but if you are sick you won't have the energy to earn. So all in all, health is the biggest wealth. And yes I hate being sick too. The feeling while being sick is just so weird. And yes the medical expenses have skyrocketted.

You are right tess. We should "work to live, and not live to work". Working is just a thing we do to live and we are not living to work in this world. We should learn how to take care of our health. Because it is one of the important key for our success and to live healthy. Giving ourselves a good night sleep for instance, is one way of taking care of our health. Because it will help your hearts to keep health. And also will reduce your stress. These stress leads to illness and make you sick.

I am also beginning to learn this lesson. It seems as though there is no end to the work to be done. I know I need to eat more wisely, get more sleep, and exercise more. Now if I could just make myself do it.
