"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."

Let this quote by Mahatma Gandhi sink in. Read it out loud. You should probably also write it down somewhere.

My point? Without your health, nothing else matters.

I know we live in a world where financial success and outdoing the Joneses often take center stage. And our lives have become so busy that we often forget to prioritize self-care. But that is short-sighted.

We need to prioritize our health.

Being unwell significantly impacts the quality of our lives and healthcare expenses can quickly skyrocket, especially in the US.

So, here's a little nudge of motivation from me to you: invest in your health.

Make your health a priority in 2024. Believe me, the returns on this investment far outshine any financial instrument you could buy.

Here's to embracing self-care and prioritizing our well-being. After all, our genes only make up about 25% of the variances in human life span, according to scientific research.

If you need extra inspiration, check out this 2016 NY Times article about Täo Porchon-Lynch, who practiced yoga until she passed away in 2020 at age 101. I had the pleasure of meeting her a few years before her passing, still wearing high heels and being full of energy. Truly an inspiration.

Best,

Christine
