When you look at yourself in the mirror , I mean your whole self, are you happy with what you see? we obviously tend to concentrate more on our faces and for women, there is always the need to make the face look more presentable by applying some chemical stuff usually known as 'make up'. But what is it you are making up on the face? and what about the whole body? Have you ever thought about making it up as well?

It is quite interesting that we tend to take our whole self for granted most of the time. We live in such a busy world that we rarely stop to think about the care we should be giving to our bodies to promote good health. our bodies are like machines that are on the go most of the time. Machines need oiling and fueling to keep going. And we have to use the right oil or fuel otherwise the machine breaks down, right? have you ever stopped to think think whether what you are doing to your body is right for it? Start with the food you eat everyday, then go on to the things you do to and with your body. If you were a machine, would you still be going, or would you need to stop for repair every now and again?

I know for certain that everyone wants to enjoy a long life that is free from illness. But not everyone wants to do the right things to make their lives better. It sounds a bit like 'everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die!'It is quite difficult to take good care of your whole self i know. For example, we have to eat the right food and do some routine exercises almost on a daily basis. And we also have to live a life that is stress free. this is not easy. Let's start with the food we eat, how many of us can afford to follow a wholesome diet of the right type of food 24/7? Take the average working person who is on a 9-5 job Monday to Friday, can this person really be faithful to any prescribed diet considering they are going to be tempted by different types being eaten by different people? This person has really got to be disciplined and they have to be if they want to live long!

And talking about a stress free life, this might sound like a joke to some people. No life can be stress free if we take into account the things we have to do and go through daily. For the working class(and i shall focus more on these) the stress is continuous because you have to work with different individuals who might not have the same ideas as you so there are bound to be clashes. So you take the stress home and because of stress you might find yourself either
