How do you practice self-care?

It’s ’use it or you’ll lose it‘

When you get to seventy two

Staying fit and active

Is what I try to do.

There’s little doubt I’m slower

But no way I’ll give in

It’s hard work plus rest

That gives results

So that’s what I’ll still do.

Exercise breaks down tissue

It builds back while you rest

Our bodies adapt to what we ask

So you have to keep pushing – do!

If you think all that’s left

Is to sit on the couch

And count down the days

Till you die.

You body adapts

And as you might guess

It’s life on the sofa for you.
