Primary Food: Education
"Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom." - George Washington Carver
Education is known as a primary food that brings value to your life. When we become educated we can then impact someone else. Whether you’re an artist, writer, doctor, teacher, ect. having an education naturally has an effect on another person. My mother always told me growing up to “never stop learning” and that has alway stuck with me. We are beings created to learn and thrive and share our knowledge with others. According to baystatehealth.org “A multinational study of adults participating in a wide range of personal and professional educational activtites…reported improved wellbeing and ability to cope with stress- including chronic illness and disability.”
Here are 4 ways education improves your wellbeing:
Education enhances brainpower because we must read to educate.
Educating yourself can help you dive deeper into your needs, hurts, desires, and heart healing by tuning into the knowledge of holistic doctors, mental health practitioners, and others who specialize in helping people heal in the body, mind, and soul.
Education brings awareness to the way you live, how you eat, and how you treat others which all contributes to your holistic health.
Education is the root of everything.
Education equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to understand health information, make informed decisions about their health, and navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. People with higher education levels tend to have higher health literacy, which positively impacts their ability to manage their health effectively. It can help reduce health disparities by empowering individuals to advocate for themselves and their communities, leading to better access to healthcare services and more equitable health outcomes.
Have you ever acknowledged the fact that education is a primary food? That everything you’ve done in life is from a source of learning and putting that education into action? I believe the more we become aware of choosing to learn more, the more we’ll see a difference in the lives of others and this world.
