My perspective on this comes from personal experience.
There was a period in my life when I was completely exhausted. I had been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and there were days when even the simplest tasks felt overwhelming. If I made the bed, I would often need to lie down and rest, sometimes for several hours afterwards. Getting through normal daily activities felt like climbing a mountain.
During that time, I realised something important. I had spent much of my life putting everyone else first. Family, work, responsibilities and commitments always seemed to come before my own needs. I was constantly at the bottom of my own to-do list.
One day I made a promise to myself. If I was going to feel better, I had to become a priority. Not in a selfish way, but in a practical way.
I began making small changes. I paid more attention to what I ate, how much rest I was getting, how I managed stress and the products I chose to support my wellbeing. I also spent a lot of money on supplements, many didn't help me or even made me feel worse. Like many people, I was searching for answers and sometimes learning through trial and error.
What I discovered was that wellbeing isn't usually created by one miracle product. It's created by consistent daily choices.
Today, at 76 years of age, Lewis and I attend markets most weekends. We do our own housework, look after our garden and run our business together.
When people ask me why wellbeing matters so much to me, the answer is simple. I've experienced what it's like when your health is not a priority, and I've experienced the difference that daily wellbeing habits can make.
That's why I no longer see health and wellbeing choices as optional extras. For me, they are essential.
