Take care of yourself !!

I'm not talking about sleeping enough, eating right, bla bla bla....
we all know about that already.

I'm talking about taking care of your body
I know you think you're strong.... but pay attention and try to take care of yourself everytime.

I once helped a friend dragged a heavy suitcase up the stairs, I seriously think that she was only pretending to push the suitcase up the stairs so I was doing all the heavy work dragging it up.
the next day, I ended up hurting my right hip/back.....the pain is all gone now
but the day after that, I was making my bed despite the mild pain and I did experience the 2 second blackout and the super sharp pain on my right hip/back.
and Now.... If I carry stuff that are a tad bit heavy, the pain would come back... mildly but so uncomfortably.
I thought I was strong,.... but I now know better.
If you feel the stuff's too heavy... don't act like a hero, ask for another helping hand !!!
Take care of yourself !!!


Another one,
I was brushing my dog's hair and she heard the door bell rang, so she quickly jumped up as she usually does and started barking.
and guess what ???
when she jumped up suddenly, her nail accidentally scratched my cornea.... yupp... the thin transparent outer layer of your eye.
It didn't hurt, but dog's nail = super dirty , eye = very fragile , you do the math.
I was out of town in the country so we had to drive 1 hour more to see an eye doctor.
I seriously don't know the difference between an opthamologist and and optometrist, hence, eye doctor ;p
So.... he checked my eyes with a very modest tool, a magnifying glasses and a flashlight, yup... an old school flashlight and he prescribed two different eyedrops to be err... dropped ;p each hour alternately for 3-4 days.
I'm so lucky it was a mild scratch and my eye is ok now.

and Don't torture your eyes by staring at the computer for too long !!!
It's not worth the sacrifice, seriously !!!
take a break.... yes NOW....
look away..... blink blink...... rest your eyes !!!!
take care of your precious eyes, you're gonna want them to last forever !!!

So....
I'm talking about taking that extra precautions whenever you do anything....
Don't care what people think, just take care of yourself, take care of your body, you're gonna need it for as long as you're alive.

I'm so wearing that transparent plastic eye goggle the next time I brush my dog's hair and probably even when I paint ;p
probably not, but We'll see :)
and Don't..... don't think you're strong enough to do anything by yourself, you might end up hurting yourself forever, so always always ask for help.
You're not weak, you're being smart !!!
