People with demanding work schedules typically struggle to have conversations about health and fitness. In fact, we become so caught up in the commotion of our daily lives that we fail to notice the cues our bodies provide us. Yet, while making money is vital, taking care of your health should come first.
My buddy Sola lost her father six years ago. The man is not quite dead, but neither is he alive. His body made him hibernate because he wasn't paying sufficient attention to his health. He was paralysed throughout his entire body when he woke up. That wasn't how the day was planned to go,It was anticipated to be a fantastic day.
Sola had a very crucial day coming up because it was the day of the most significant exam of his life—at least for the time being. He would perform well on examinations and then return home to hang out and enjoy drinks with his father, who, despite being away from home for such a long time, found time for him that day. But man only provides after he has accomplished what heaven is unable to.
He performed well on the exam, but what was meant to be a wonderful day ended up being one of the most depressing. My mother received a call informing her that her father had fallen a few hours after Sola left the house. He was unconscious for approximately a month after this day. He was an entrepreneur who accepted contracts from the state and other institutions. He was unable to handle his company any longer, and it failed. Sola and her siblings were forced to assume personal responsibility at that point, working odd jobs, picking up new skills to pay for their school expenses, and paying the bills while working hard to maintain decent grades.
Sometimes, the choices we make and the way we live our lives have an impact on others around us in unexpected ways. Sola's father grew so preoccupied with acquiring money that he lost track of what fitness and health meant, becoming largely useless to those around him. More responsibility was placed on them than they could handle. And many other families in Nigeria are facing similar or even worse circumstances.
If we are vigilant and pay closer attention to the indications, which are constantly present, we can avoid such scenarios.
Here are some suggestions for staying healthy and fit despite your busy schedule.

1. Create a list. Even though it sounds cliche, making a to-do list is crucial. This keeps you on course and prevents you from devoting more time than is essential to any one work. Prioritize the tasks you have to complete each day and list them in order of importance. Make scheduling a time to unwind from work-related duties high on your priority list.
2. Attempt to eat healthily. When we do remember to eat, it may be because we are so busy with work and other activities. Even when we do remember to eat, we may choose to eat junk food since it is what is available to us at the moment. You should make an effort to keep up a nutritious diet, consume fruits, and never skip breakfast. Consuming healthy foods keeps us healthy and aids in the defence against sickness of our bodily systems.
3. Take vacations from your job and household. For many of us, especially entrepreneurs, being away from work is really challenging. We never take vacations because we are constantly looking for new methods to make money. You must take a break from work to unwind and have fun in order to maintain your health. pause to relax anddon't go to work with you, go on a holiday with your family—the kids or your significant other—take pictures, spend the money you've worked so hard to get, and go to a new location.
4. Learn to unwind. Spend time for yourself, give yourself a pleasant treat, go shopping, try new things, meditate, take a warm bath, listen to music, or do anything else that will help you unwind. No matter how busy you are, you can even make it a habit to exercise for ten minutes every day. Laugh out loud videos can also aid in relaxation.
5. A check-up. Many people in Nigeria forego routine checks and only visit a doctor when they are ill, instead choosing to cure themselves at home with drugs they purchase from corner drugstores. This can be harmful to our health because, most of the time, we don't know what the actual issue is and instead take medication based on symptoms we believe we are familiar with from previous treatment. If our bodies are communicating a different message, how can we be sure we are treating the proper illness? Although he might have treated himself for malaria while the stress was lowering his blood pressure, Sola's father must have sensed something earlier that day but chose not to take it seriously.
