I want to work hard this year!..Most of us might include this statement in our New Year Resolution. Good! That's great. Working Hard! But, have we ever think...how can it affect our body? Physical being?
Of course!!! It is great to work hard, and not being lazy...But...do..and please...Listen to Your Body!!!!..You should know yourself better...
I called an old friend this morning, asking how's she doing....she had forced herself to attend an appoinment made earlier..though she's not well and fit to do so...She should have been lying on bed after taking her medicine and get a rest to get well...instead..she had to attend a client..though she knew..she would make her illness get worst. I told her to go back and have a good rest...why?..she had already overused her body...and she should get a rest...give it a break..your body need a break..It is no point if you work too hard and harm yourself..
That is why...you need to have a one day break..if today..you have already engaged yourself in a very rigourous exercise activity...It is because..your body..need at least 24 hours to recover from fatigueness...if not..you will be having problem with your immune system..A study has been conducted to marathon runners that run a 20-km marathon in comparison to normal person who go for a 4-km exercise run. When tested, both group have a drop in their white cells level right after the run (percentage of drop is more for the marathon runners), and when tested again 24-hrs later, their white blood cells level has increase better than before the run (percentage of increase is more for the marathon runners), it indicates that you need to engaged yourselves in physical activities or exercising to increase your immune level...in this case..both group have increase their immune level..and the marathon runners are better, but ..when you get yourselves to an overexercise regime...you are more prone to get sick...
The keypoint is...
To stay healthy and wealthy...you need to exercise and work hard...but..please do not over do it!!!

ALHAMDULILLAH - MY GRATITUDE TO ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY
Alhamdulillah, 2007 has come to an end, 2008 is just around the corner. Thanks to the Almighty Allah for giving me such a good health! Thus, I have no problem in performing the duties as a good muslim, InsyaAllah.
Having a healthy physical and a healthy piece of mind, and at the same time being able to pursue a good and an active life have always been in my yearly diary. I will always make sure, all these will be the essence of my yearly resolution. Only by having all these I can go on doing everything necessary for my family and my career. HOW and WHY?....you must be wondering...
How can you be promoted to a new position if you are not physically and mentally healthy? How can you further your study and excel in your study if you are not physically and mentally healthy? How can you pursue a great life with your loved one and your family, if you are not physically and mentally healthy? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is HOW CAN YOU BE A GOOD SERVANT OF THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH if you are not physically and mentally healthy?
I have been holding to this Arab proverb, which means - a healthy and sound mind comes from a healthy body. To go on with your life, you need to feel good and stay healthy. Come on ladies! Who are going to look after your husbands/kids/families if you can't even look after yourselves? You have to be a living example to your loved ones, nourishing them with the essence of a great and happy life, showering them with the most wonderful feeling of loves one can ever give and creating the most indulgence ambiance of moments in life.
For a start, this might be a good help/tips for everyone...

spend at least 15 - 30 minutes of a quality time with your loved ones/family
always find ways to do your 10000 steps walking, you can at least try to use the stairs instead of using the lift, you can always try to park your car far away from your usual parking space, you can always do some push-up or sit-up while watching your favourite tv programme and many more....

spare a time to have a good outing with your loved ones/family - one day picnic, a movie, a good and healthy eating out, vacation ...more and more
look up for activities that can add up some spices to your life - go for line dancing class, grooming course, beading course, cooking class - you can commercialized things when you have all these skills - extra earning is on the way....
and don't forget... YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
