Things move so fast these days.
I remember a time when we had better quality of life. We had appliances that lasted a lifetime and remedies that actually healed and strengthened the body. There was a slower pace that was more balanced, with time to think, to play and savor the moment.
As kids, imagination was the game of the day with no help from technology.
Change Happens
Nowadays, companies, in an effort to cut costs, sacrifice quality while using toxic substances that pollute the environment and build up toxins in our bodies. Technology is changing daily and it feels like there is no time to think or consider how it impacts our lives.
From the products we buy to the drugs we take, we need to be vigilant about checking them for quality and safety. Do those companies support our values?
We are the Gatekeepers
Recently it has been reported that our population is growing sicker and our overall lifespan has been shortened. Why? Because we have been neglecting ourselves, our family, and our environment by forgetting that we are the gatekeepers. It is our ultimate power and responsibility!
We, as gatekeepers, have the ability to safeguard our quality of life. We can control the well-being of our society by where we spend our dollars. This includes examining our investments.
Money is just energy but it gives us a voice. It acts as the checks and balances needed to keep companies in-line so that they produce products, technologies, and services that are not a threat to our environment or our health.
We Can Change our Destiny
I realized when I went through my health challenge in the ‘90s that toxins and bad nutrition had also affected my emotions and my ability to think properly. I had become chemically sensitive and allergic to almost everything. That is when I began to educate myself on the toxins in our environment.
I cleaned up my diet and found non-toxic products to replace those that I used on my body and in my home. I also had to consider indoor pollution from toxic glues, finishes, paints, and carpets.
Some may think they are immune because it doesn’t affect them now, but it probably will as it builds up in their system.
While we witness others going through various health challenges, please know that it is not just due to growing old, destiny, fate, or genetics. Most of the time it can be a reaction to the toxins in our environment. We cannot control when we die but we can preserve our quality of life until we do.
By the way, I actually reversed my chemical sensitivity and allergies. It took time and effort but it is absolutely possible.
