Hi, Alexie. I don't think we *should* do anything, not even live a healthy lifestyle. We make the choices we make for your own reasons and in our own time -- no shoulds about it.
For me, it's important to take great care of my body, spirit, and mind because I want to feel wonderful. Now, and as I get older. The things you do to take care of yourself when you're younger make a huge impact on how you feel as you age. I realize that you probably feel your older self is too far away from you to even take under consideration. But unbelievable as it may seem now, your older self is actually an aspect of who you are right now, and the gratitude you will later feel towards your younger self for delivering a mint-condition vehicle will be immense. Likewise, if you squander your your body, your vitality, your strength, and your suppleness, and deliver a beat up old wreck to yourself, the regret you may feel would be immense.
It just feels so good to feel good! |
