As medical costs grow and the frustrations of sitting in doctors’ office waiting rooms for hours mount, the benefits of self-care are becoming more evident. Recently, I was doing yoga, and I felt a bit odd. Why? Not because I was sweating profusely, but because my instructor was on the television. On the same station they offer classes for Pilates, aerobics, and Tai Chi.
In the Internet age, we have so many resources for keeping ourselves healthy right at our fingertips. Need some good advice for staying trim? Go to Google. Need some good tips for how to stretch correctly? Check the videos on YouTube. Have a medical problem you are worried about? Check WebMd.
The point is, we spend so much money on keeping ourselves healthy, but it does not necessarily need to be this way. Instead of paying for a personal trainer or a physical therapist, often we can just as easily get treatment by doing the right research in the right place.
