Message 28 of 30

Two-thirds of Americans don't take their medicine as prescribed, nor do we go to the doctor as often as we should. But, if charged with caring for another person, we ensure they are tended to properly.

To stay healthy in the long-term, we need to "treat ourselves like someone we're responsible for helping." That starts with:

* Forgiving yourself

* Befriending people who want the best for you, and

* Challenging yourself to carry heavy things
