Chapter 1: A Pledge to Ourselves

This is a heartfelt message from our younger selves to our wiser selves—a vow to prioritize our health. It serves as a tribute to everyone who has struggled with health issues, those who are currently battling, and those who have returned their essence to the earth. May our well-being sustain us, our loved ones, and the planet we inhabit, whether we are standing, seated, or eternally resting in our final place.

Let’s repeat this together:

I pledge to fiercely protect my body from any harm that may arise. I vow to strive for strength, not weakness. I promise to nourish my body with vital elements: air, water, and nutrients. I acknowledge that I won't live forever. My time here is finite. Yet, I commit to making my body resilient and robust before I take my last breath. This is my promise regarding physical health.

I promise to shield my mind from any form of abuse directed at me. I will work to heal my mental wounds, diminishing the scars that mark my consciousness. I vow to cultivate the mental stamina necessary to pursue peace and happiness with the tenacity of a wild creature in an open field. I recognize my fragility; I am not permanent. However, I promise to fortify my mind, making it as strong and unbreakable as possible before my time concludes. This is my promise regarding mental health.

I commit to being passionate in sharing my tranquility with those around me. I will express gratitude to those who have paved the way for me, those who have come before. I promise to impart any wisdom I gain in this life to those who follow. I will share my affection with those who love me and release those who have caused me pain or betrayal. I pledge to embody compassion and kindness. I am not flawless, nor am I without influence. Yet, I promise to contribute goodness to the world and to all those around me. This is my promise regarding social health.

I vow to remain loyal to my one true soul, safeguarding it from further harm. I will nurture my sense of purpose in this life, for it is my guiding light in moments of confusion. I promise never to stray far from my truths, even when deceit attempts to blind or mislead me. I am human, limited in knowledge and power. Yet, I pledge to strive for a soul that is free and enduring. This is my promise regarding spiritual health.

Here, we all sign our names, affirming our commitment to prioritize our health.
