Health is strange wealth because the richer you are in it, the easier it is to forget you have it.

Health is the only wealth that becomes less visible the more of it you have. Nothing reminds you it is there, so the people with the most of it usually think about it least, and only begin counting once withdrawals start. It is a strange arrangement and it explains why so much of health advice arrives too late to feel urgent.

Set a small recurring reminder to notice what is working while it is working. Then protect one part of it deliberately. Appreciation is not the point, maintenance is.
