Wake up call !!! (Fitria Nugraha)

Last week, in the women psychology class we watched a film about a breast reconstruction operation. In the film we were showed the whole process of making a new breast from the patient’s own tissue. I’m not going to share about the whole operation process, but I’m going to share some of my thought that comes up after I watched the film.

After I watched the film, the first thing that came up to my mind was “I need to change my lifestyle immediately!”. Hahaha.  This film really gives me a wake-up call to maintain my own health. I realize how expensive it will cost when you try to get your healthy body back. And it’s not only for the material cost that you have to spent, but also for all the energy, time, and emotion. As we know, many people these days are too busy and consumed by their works. We easily forget to take care of our own body. Especially for younger people in their 20s or 30s, we are used to stay up all night, not having a regular exercise, eat junk food, and many more. We tend to do that because we haven’t experience the effect of having that kind of lifestyle. We are somehow too confident that we won’t catch any diseases. I myself, often stay up all night especially in the weekend. And when I think again, I often stay up all night doing meaningless things such as watching TV or surfing the internet. And I rarely (almost never) have an exercise in the past 2 years. So after I watch this movie, it actually really scares me. This is why I say that this movie give me a wake-up call. 

But let’s be real, shall we? We never know what might happen to us. Maybe we won’t catch the diseases now but we might in the next five or ten years. And we can prevent those risks by having a proper lifestyle. So let’s start to have a proper lifestyle. Maybe we can start by having a regular exercise or by not consuming too much junk food, avoid smoking and consuming alcohol, and there are many other things that we can do to maintain our health. Try to remind yourself by saying, “I want to enjoy my life when I am older”. 

But there is also another thing that I learnt from this movie. For those people who already got chronic diseases such as cancer or other type of diseases, don’t lose hope! Always be positive! Because being positive certainly will help you deal with your treatment processes.  Keep chasing your dreams and never give up! Let’s be Healthy and Happy! :D
