Proactive Health Checklist: A Birthday Gift for Your Future Self
It’s my birthday month! And while I’m grateful for another year, I’m using this moment to think beyond balloons and cake (okay, maybe just one slice 🍰).
My birthday wish? That you start taking proactive steps toward better health—starting now.
Too often, we wait for symptoms, diagnosis, or crisis before taking action. But being proactive is the real secret to confidence, control, and peace of mind.
Here are the Proactive Health Must-Do’s I want for you:
🩺 Know your numbers – blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight
💊 Review your medications – eliminate duplicates, adjust dosages, simplify routines
🦷 Schedule annual eye and dental exams – your mouth and vision reveal a lot about your overall health
🩻 Don’t skip your DEXA scan – know your bone density and prevent fractures before they happen
🛡 Stay up to date on vaccinations – flu, COVID, shingles, pneumonia, and more
🧪 Get your screenings done – mammograms, colonoscopies, prostate checks, labs
📋 Update your healthcare plan – are your providers aligned with your goals?
📆 Review your Medicare choices – don’t leave coverage gaps to chance
🧠 Mental & Emotional Health Matter, my wish for you is to...
✅ Make space for connection – regular time with people who lift you up
✅ Practice stress management – whether that’s meditation, nature, or movement
✅ Ask for help – therapy, support groups, and coaching are strength, not weakness
✅ Stay engaged – hobbies, volunteering, learning new things keep your mind sharp
✅ Protect your peace – set healthy boundaries with time, energy, and people
Mental and emotional wellness is just as vital as physical health. They’re all connected—and they all deserve your attention..
Each step is part of a bigger goal: preserving your quality of life. These proactive measures help you stay independent, energized, and focused on the things (and people) you love.
