Time to Take Inventory
After last week’s Memo on Independence, I decided to follow it up with some thoughts on where to begin the quest for independence. Nobody is beginning at absolute zero. Regardless of where you stand (or sit) with your health, it’s time to take an inventory.
I could include everything from lowering cholesterol, sleeping better, or reducing medications, but those are discussions you need to have with your physician first to see if what you’re planning to do is reasonable. They know what health issues you’re facing, from auto-immune diseases to type 2 diabetes, and even more. For example, if you have a genetically determined high blood pressure, you may have to stay on medications no matter how much weight you lose and how fit you become. I would start with a consultation with your physician or healthcare professional.
Once you’ve done that if it applies to you, it’s time to take inventory, both physical and logistical. We’ll do that on Saturday.
What are you prepared to do today?
