Eating your fruits and vegetables everyday is fantastic, but it takes more than that to be able to call yourself healthy. Most of the definitions I found for the word healthy referred to the aforementioned health of the body and more importantly, the health of the mind. Without the mind, the body could not function, but without a healthy body, a healthy mind is useless. So, lets discuss different parts of ourselves and how we can make them healthy or healthier. :)Eating the Right Foods For Your Body Type -Lets face it, not everyone can survive on the same diet. That's why there is so many of them! A good tip to remember when dieting is that you don't have to stick to a diet verbatim. I know that to many of my diet-freaks out there, this is the same as "cheating". But, in reality it's not. What works for you might not work for me, and that is why, if we choose a diet, pick one that's best for you, not the one that helped Kirstie Alley or Dan Marino.
Distracting Yourself from Everyday Monotony-The mind needs a break. Take a break. Go away. If you can't afford a vacation, close your eyes, lay down, and just let time pass for a few minutes. I've done this plenty of times before when I've been feeling a bit stressed and broke. I guarantee that if you do this you will at least feel a little refreshed or at least refreshed enough to hold you over to the time when you can afford that vacation.
Eliminating the Negativity From Your Life-If there is anything I've learned over the past few years of my life, it has to be that if something is affecting you in a negative way, you have to change it. The longer you let these feelings, people, or anything else affect you negatively, the worse it is going to make you feel. Many times, we don't notice if we have someone in our life that is having a negative effect on us until we sit back and really analyze people. Over the past few years many people have walked (or been shown the exit) out of my life. At first, I was hurt, but then I realized that I actually felt better without them being in my life. My reason for this feeling is that you never miss something that was bad for you. Would you miss and illness that suddenly left your body? Would you miss someone who was only pretending to be your friend? Surround yourself by people who maintain a positive outlook on life. Think optimistically not pessimistically.
With this, I'm opening up the floor to you all. I have tons of other little tidbits to share on life, but I don't want to drag or get too lengthy here. So, please, let me know what tips you all can share on living a HEALTHY life. And remember, Smile, Laugh, and Love!
