Journal Writing Prompt: Sickness & Health
“It’s no longer a question of staying healthy. It’s a question of finding a sickness you like.”
~Jackie Mason
At first glance, this quote is somewhat funny, however, once it settles in, the “funny” quickly wears off, and the truth of the statement may overwhelm you. In today’s world, there is an awful lot of sickness - it seems, many days, there is more sickness (in various forms - mentally, physically, and spiritually) than there is health. Where health used to be the norm, it seems the pendulum has swung the complete opposite direction to health being the “exception to the rule”.
In your journal, consider what Jackie Mason said. Do you believe this is just a comic comment or do you think there is a greater truth underneath? Explain & explore your answer in your journal.
Journal writing prompt bonus: Take a look at your own health - mentally, spiritually, and physically. Do you see more sickness in you than health? In your journal, consider this, and if your health is not where it could be, consider what you could do to move it in the right direction.
Happy Journaling!
