"He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything." - Arabian proverb
Hey there - It’s CHER! Time to share my 2022 "Word of the Year" - - - My word will be HEALTHY. Now, when people think of the word “healthy,” they typically have a vision or an expectation in their heads. Most equate “healthy” with having the perfect body or being a certain weight. I see health as central to happiness and well-being but defining exactly what health means is a very individual and complex thing. While one person might consider being healthy to mean free from disease, another can define it as being able to run a marathon, or to live a sober/drug free life. To me being healthy means prioritizing my physical and mental wellbeing. I spent a larger amount of 2021 struggling with some form of physical pain, illness, or mental lapse. I did my best to hide these struggles (so many reading this blog might be surprised by that statement) but let me assure you the struggle was/is real, and it has taken a toll. I am ready to get off that unwell track. |
"Keep your vitality. A life without health is like a river without water." -Maxime Lagacé
That is why I have selected HEALTHY as my 2022 word-of-the-year.
And again, my selection of this word is not just about exercising and eating healthy, while important, this not at the core of what it means to me to live a healthy life.
I will be utilizing this WOTY to remind me of the following:

I will be utilizing this WOTY to remind me of the following:
- SAY NO to an overloaded schedule
- Engage in something that brings me JOY
- Embrace the benefits of living a PHYSICAL LIFE (no more sitting at my laptop ALL day)
- Put down my phone and truly CONNECT with the people in my life.
- NURTURE my body not with just superficial “self-care” but with true physical and emotional well-being.
"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." - Mahatma Gandhi
Wish me luck and stay tuned for how it all plays out.
