No One Talks About Health Until It’s Too Late. Let’s Be the Main Character Sooner.
Share
Let’s be honest , most of us treat health like a background app. We only click it open when something’s already going wrong. And even then, we’re still Googling symptoms at 3AM instead of booking a check-up.
But what if we flipped the script?
Main Character Energy ✨Health Edition✨
We’re all chasing our main character moments : romanticizing slow walks, aesthetic routines, and matcha lattes. But where’s the energy when it comes to monitoring your own health? Being healthy is aesthetic. It's also rebellious. Because in a world that praises hustle and "powering through," taking care of yourself is a radical act.
And here’s the secret: your health is the main plot.
What “Catching It Late” Actually Looks Like
You don’t get diagnosed with hypertension or diabetes overnight. These issues simmer silently. By the time you're experiencing regular fatigue, vision changes, breathlessness, or dizzy spells, your body’s been trying to flag it for months but you just weren’t checking your notifications.
Here’s the ugly truth:
1. Most people discover high BP in a hospital, not at home.
2. Women often ignore chest discomfort thinking it’s acidity.
3. Parents don’t complain until it’s an emergency.
So How Do You Become the Main Character Early?
Glad you asked (even if you didn't)
Step 1: Get Health Gadgets That Don’t Collect Dust
- BP Monitor: Not just for your uncle. Use it monthly — or weekly if you’re stressed.
- Pulse Oximeter: Cheap, fast, and perfect for tracking breathing issues.
- Digital Thermometer: Still relevant, especially post-COVID.
- Mesh Nebulizer: Quiet, effective, and surprisingly chic in pastel colors.
- Rechargeable Warm Bags: Pain relief, minus the drama.
Step 2: Make Health a Ritual, Not a Reaction
Light a candle, play some lo-fi beats, sip warm water, and take 5 minutes to check your vitals. Romanticize it just like your skincare routine. Be extra, because why not ?
Step 3: Talk About It More
Share your wellness journey with your family and friends. Normalize saying: “I checked my BP today, it was a bit high.” Instead of waiting to say: “I’m in the hospital because I didn’t know it was high.”
Final Thoughts
You are the main character. You are not supposed to be tired all the time. Your headaches aren’t just from screen time. You don’t have to earn rest. And your body is not lying to you, it’s just trying to talk.
Don’t wait for a health scare to finally start listening. Romanticize early prevention. Normalize health checks. And treat your body like it’s the only one you’ll ever have, because it is.
