A BETTER AND HEALTHIER HUMAN

 A BETTER AND HEALTHIER HUMAN

Have you ever stopped to think about all the components of becoming a better and healthier human? It's more than just a few minor things. If that is what you were imagining, it may be time to think about re-evaluating our goals. I will say that I don't usually put these components all on my plate at once. Just for a moment, though, I took time to review ways to make changes to better myself and to become healthier.

If you want to have lots of positive feedback, then it helps to share some of your plans. That extra positive reinforcement (or pressure, as the case may be) might just be what we need to help us follow through. Sometimes it is all about motivation. Find what motivates you.

Surrounding ourselves with others is a wonderful way to learn new things. Keeping an open mind is the key to this step. We don't always know the answers, and getting others' feedback can only help us see new possibilities from different angles.

It is important to be realistic, and it is ok if we fail. That is how we learn. Get back up and try another way. It is not a race but a gradual process to continue to better ourselves. Setting smaller goals along the way as we work on ourselves for the BIG one. Get rid of what does not work for us in whatever way. 

While we are thinking about it, have you ever considered all of the ways out there to become a better and healthier you?

All issues should be addressed in order to have an overall better and healthier human. They all weave together. For myself, I prefer to start with the physical side, which lends itself to eating healthier. That leads right into my mental wellbeing because that is how my brain works. You can decide which way to go for yourself. There is no one way. Then there is my community of friends who help along the way with my social habits. Maybe it is because I am retired, but work did lead me to the financial well-being part of me.

Considering myself as a spiritual human allows my thought process to communicate with my own greater being out in the universe. Talking with God through prayers and meditation, along with having quiet times always guided me through this process.

 

Just taking the time to notice what is going on around you and getting rid of what does not make you happy, and trying to focus on what does make you happy. It helps to see where we are concerning the world around us.
