Why Commitment Matters for Health and Happiness

What comes to your mind when you hear the word 'commitment'?

I think about how commitment matters in so many things in life - my marriage, health, fitness, and happiness.  They all take dedication and work, right? Without proper care and commitment, success is almost impossible.

To put it simply - if you cheat on your marriage, it will not work…if you cheat on your health, it will not work…see what I mean? In order to maintain your health and happiness, it takes commitment, effort, and work on a consistent basis.  

In this journey of life, I have learned the importance of commitment. I certainly have found a gem in my husband and cherish our relationship as a priority.  I feel the same way about my health and fitness. I realize fitness is a precious gift worthy of my attention so I can live a healthy quality of life. 

Commitment is a word I take seriously. It's a promise that I will maintain my health and marriage in a healthy way. And each day is an opportunity to make the right choices and do the right things.  I treat both my marriage and health with tender loving care, appreciation, time, and attention. 

Commitment to the things that matter is important and believe me, there are plenty of things in life that just don't matter. And for the things that do matter, commitment is essential. In fact, when you are committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results. That said,  I believe in seeing positive results in my marriage and health. If I don't take the healthy steps to make that happen, that is on me. I have worked too hard and long in my life to not make the most of each day. This includes appreciating good health and happy marriage.     

I can honestly say it has taken half my life to reach the maturity of emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being that I understand today.  The journey was difficult as I am sure most of you can relate. But through patience, perseverance, and commitment, developing good health and happiness was worth the effort and positive results. 

The importance of commitment is also patience through the process as nothing happens overnight. There is no such thing as here today and gone tomorrow and rushing life usually gets us no-where. The point is to stay true to your commitments, appreciate the journey, and grow in positive ways through the struggles.
