Dear Readers,

Greetings All!

There is a concept that something is operational when it works the way it is supposed to, without attention and without compromise.

When you push the switch, the motor turns on. Every time. No fail. If you have to jimmy the switch, or just push it a certain way, or put in a hope factor before you push it because it sometimes doesn’t work, that is not operational.

Probably everyone lives with various things in the environment that are not operational. They sometimes work and sometimes don’t. From my own experience one can go into apathy about such things and just ignore them, or not use them, or just forget them. Unfortunately, they are never forgotten, because that lingering nagging underneath awareness is that one knows that damn thing won’t usually work and worry can set in that when you need it most, it won’t. One can even lose sleep over such things.

This can apply to one’s body as well. Can your body be counted on to perform? Could you run for a bus and not have a heart attack? Could you lift a heavy object off someone if it fell on them? Could you stay up all night for an emergency and keep your mental sharpness?

Having the body operational is much more important that having any other machine in such capacity.

If you answered no to any of the above questions about your body being operational, it might be good to take some action and get your body so it is operational. This will require some work but is very satisfying. Not only will you look good in the mirror, but the confidence you will feel is real.

One of our goals at LifeWorks is to help you become operational.

We can test your heart and lungs and biochemistry and get you in the best condition you can be in.

Then you will be operational and that makes living fun and fulfilling and allows you to take on new challenges with confidence.

Call us if you want to learn more about this.

Have a great week.
