“Mom, did you know that when you’re healthy it helps the family?”
“That’s a great point, Love. Tell me more.”
[Insert extensive dialogue about being able to bring in loads of grocery bags and even help little bro with his chores, etc.]
**************
Gosh, is it really that simple? The framing by an eight-year-old narrows all the complexities of our health ambitions into a single concept: our contribution.
Whatever your role, whatever “the family” is to you (your partner, children, siblings, parents, your friends, your team at school or work, your soccer team, your faith or local community) don’t you agree? When you’re healthy, can’t you help your people more?
Allow me to capture a #momwin while we’re here because this is the **real stuff** of my work. And the message is sinking in with my girl. I can tell because her question was not about how our health relates to our looks, body image, popularity or even competition (all that annoying fitness industry marketing bull💩)!
Our HEALTH directly supports our ability to be HELPFUL. And that is the very root of our #purpose.
Good call, baby girl!
