Daily writing prompt
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
I watch what I eat. I exercise. I have regular checkups, get vaccinated, drink moderately, avoid excessive naval-gazing. The usual.
None of that rises to a “strategy,” as if I were consulting maps, calcluating potential assaults, or deploying troops. “Strategy” has become one of those online words (like “curate”) used to invest everyday chores, personal or professional, with unwarranted dignity and heroism.
Brushing my teeth and drinking plenty of water is not a “strategy” that deserves a rousing soundtrack.
