Yes, especially when it comes to rest. Sleep is SO valuable.

And I try to surround myself with positive people. People who like to laugh and have a good time. My mental state is super important to me.I  try to stay away from people who think negatively. Sure we all get upset sometimes or whatever but there's no need to dwell on it. All it does is rub off on others and brings you down.

It's good that you mentioned sleep.

I made this thread cause I've been experiencing some health issues as of late.
I'm fine. I take care of myself in all other aspects: diet, my skin, physically fit, etc.

But the one thing I neglected, was SLEEP.
And my body finally said NO MA'AM. And TOOK ME OUT. Was in the hospital recovering.
My heart was having irregular heartbeats. I have no cardiac issues.
And I was told it was STRESS...
I probably sleep 3-4 hours a night and I'm constantly doing something (work, hanging out) 7 days a week. I don't give myself enough rest...

I have to change that.

Crazy how lack of sleep can affect you mentally/physically. It is so important to give your body that rest.

When I don't get enough sleep I feel like I'm about to damn DIE.

The scary part is... I got used to the 4 hours a night of sleep.
Mentally.

But physically it was taking a toll.
The body needs time to recoup.

And "successful" by their standards.
Not society, you know?
I enjoy that as well.
I really adore you -- we have similar outlooks.

This would have been an interesting topic had it been conveyed differently.

How so?

I hope my post didn't come off as disrespectful. You asked  a good question, but you opened up with most ppl neglect their health. Didn't really leave room to talk about such a broad topic imo.

Oh Ok, I understand that.
That was my way of explaining the thread title.
Young adults tend to think they're OK, and not FOCUS on their health as much.
So I'm asking if any of you make your health and wellbeing a priority in your life. No different than looking for a partner, job, etc.

I definitely agree. Sex, class, orientation, age, etc. All play a role in prioritizing health.

To answer ur question though. I really just started taking my physical health more seriously. I try to routinely go in to see my physician to just to check on things. I think it's because Im started to get UP there in age and things aren't quite POPPIN like the use to.

I went to see a therapist for the 1st time last month, I hope it helps me address some things.

Also I went to see a chiropractor for the 1st time and that was kinda  :ohwow: :ohwow: :ohwow: :ohwow:

!!!!!!!!!
I have a fat friend and they surround themselves with all fat people. I truly believe its because they feel comfortable and don't feel like they're being judged.

I agree! Socioeconomics and resources does play a role.
And Good for you. It's important to pay attention to your health. And it's funny you say UP in age... cause that's the whole point. The 20s age group be dipping and doing it -- health isn't always in the forefront.
And  :ohwow: @ the chiropractor.
