Health in time

THE MIRROR
Time is the most important aspect when creating a healthy body and mind. Although time may not seem like something that can be connected with health that can not be more untrue. It is with our time that people can dedicate themselves to mental and physical health.
Many people hint at how time is the most important element when trying to get healthy. One of the more notable people who has done this is Laura Vanderkam. Vanderkam is a writer, author and speaker who has written over a dozen novels, many about time management.
Some people think they have to shape their schedule around time, but it is a choice to use time effectively or not.
Vanderkam said, “Time is highly elastic. We don’t make room for time. Time will stretch to accommodate what we put into it,” which gives people great power to escape from stress or more efficiently plan how to use time.
Vanderkam stressed that people have the power to put time into the things that they prioritize like work or fitness.
Although it may be hard for some to complete their priorities first it is extremely healthy for the mind. It plants the seeds for long term satisfaction and people can manage to live how they want to without extraneous stress.
Vanderkam reminds listeners, “When we focus on what matters we can build the lives we want in the time we got.”

Nice writing and the quotes you chose go well with your main focus. Time is a weird concept, it’s infinite but you never have enough so learning how to maintain a schedule is a good skill to learn.

Not many people have a whole lot of free time and when they do get it they mostly spend it with some sort of technology. People don’t take the time out of their day to focus on the mind and body like and they have the power to do that as Vanderkam said.

This was a well put article, time is valuable and we have to make sure that we are using it right, it is very important that we make the best of the time we are given.

I believe that doing the things you have to do first is very important. It makes you feel good and allows you to be more relaxed doing the things you want to do.

Great writing, very nice choice of vocabulary. I very much agree with the quote, “Time is highly elastic. We don’t make room for time. Time will stretch to accommodate what we put into it.” I do believe that time is not given to us, it’s our choice to use the time we make for ourselves effectively.

With busy days time management really is a very important part to being healthy

Time is sensitive because we all know that time is limited but I totally agreed when it was said that we have the power to put time into things that we prioritize. When we are no longer needing to stay at home, I am going right back into working. I miss it quite a lot and I am gonna make time to work a lot this summer even though there are a lot of things that I would like to do.
