HOW GOOD DO YOU FEEL?

Let’s begin by answering the following ten questions.

Do you have regular checkups?
Do you exercise for at least 30 minutes 4 or more days a week?
Do you eat balanced meals?
Do you get close to 8 hours of sleep most nights?
Do you follow your doctor’s advice to quit smoking, lose weight, or limit your consumption of alcohol?

Are you often irritable or short-tempered with people you care about?
Do you have frequent headaches or stomachaches?
Do you feel sad or down very often or cry for no reason?
Do you often feel too busy and “stressed”?
Do you have social, medical, or financial worries caused by drugs, alcohol, gambling, or shopping?

The fact is, we could all take better care of ourselves—physically and emotionally. For some of us, that may mean getting more exercise, losing weight, or eating a healthier diet. For others, it may mean learning how to make time for the people we care about or learning how to manage stress so we have the energy to meet the challenges that come our way each day.
What are some of the things you can do every day to feel better in your life? Look back to the questions on the quiz for some answers. If you answered “No” to any of the first five questions, these are the areas to work on with your physical health. If you answered “Yes” to any of the last five questions, these are the areas to pay attention to with your emotional health.
