Finding Balance

By: Beatrice Lim

The current state of our world has caused a global pause, and people have no choice but to carry out their daily activities at home. While this may be a good thing for some, some struggle to find balance in their everyday schedule, especially those who were suddenly thrust into a work-from-home situation. However, despite all the busyness, health must stay as a priority.

Through a span of almost seven months, Filipinos, especially students, haven’t gone outside due to the quarantine measures. This means spending a lot of time, if not all, at home. It’s easy to lie down and stare blankly at our phones, sleep all day, or stay up late binge watching Netflix shows. Although these activities may be “enjoyable” or “relaxing,” they shouldn’t become a daily habit.

Health is an important aspect in each of our lives. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to do the things that are also of equal importance. Good health allows us to carry out our daily schedules in a productive and optimistic manner. Most people would simply attribute the term “health” to exercising everyday. Yes, they are correct, but being healthy isn’t just based on the physical aspect. True health is so much more than that.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete “physical, mental and social well-being” and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity. A lot of people tend to think that when you are healthy, the chances of getting sick are nonexistent. In actuality, being healthy concerns one’s overall state and not just the visual aspect of being healthy. We should begin to consider the other facets of health such as mental, emotional, spiritual, and social health.

While under quarantine, it’s easy to neglect our health due to constant distractions. But we should keep in mind that finding balance in everything we do is essential. Some suggestions to boost overall health include getting enough sleep, regulating gadget use, eating right, socializing online, journaling your thoughts and feelings, drinking enough water, and many more. These activities are simple enough that being healthy is attainable for everyone. Instead of complaining about the things we can’t control, let’s use this quarantine as an opportunity to focus on what we can do to live a healthier and better life.
