a child, take good care of yourself as an adult. Find a physician and get a physical once a year. Tell him or her that you have a history of childhood adversity, because he or she will not know it just by looking at you. Sleep eight hours a night. Eat well. Play well. Exercise well. Work well, which includes taking time off. Start now. The good does not win out in the end if your life is cut short because of chronic stress.
