Becoming Sick — and Becoming Well — Are Both Processes, Not Events
I lost my Mom not long ago so it's been quiet on my end here in the Community.
I'm back! ✅
Her passing reminded me of a truth I’ve seen again and again — both in health and in life: we don’t get sick overnight, and we don’t get well overnight either.
For my Mom, it started small.
- She stopped taking care of her teeth, which made it harder to eat real, nourishing food.
- Without good food, her strength declined.
- She became more sedentary, lost muscle, became weaker, and eventually, unstable on her feet.
One day she fell and couldn’t get up.
- That fall led to a hospital stay — where she got an infection.Hospitals are incredible for saving lives, but they’re not designed for creating wellness.
- Strong antibiotics made her weaker still.
- She lost more muscle from lying in bed.
- Her strength faded... and her body couldn’t recover.
It didn’t happen in a moment — it happened through a process.
And the same is true in reverse.When we choose wellness, it’s not instant — but it is powerful.
- As your muscle tissue increases, your strength and stability return.
- As your hydration improves, so does your energy.
- As your sleep deepens, your recovery accelerates.
- As your sunlight exposure rises, your hormones and mood rebalance.
Wellness builds.
Just like sickness does.
Every choice compounds in one direction or the other.
That’s why I love the SWERPSS framework — it helps you take small, consistent actions that move you toward life, energy, and resilience.
If you want your quality of life to go up, stay intentional about your wellness. Ask questions, get engaged in the Community chats
If you want your quality of life to go down, do nothing — and life will decide for you.
It's so GREAT that we have choices or options isn't it?
