Staying healthy is not always that simple. Depending on the type of person you are and how you run your life has a great deal with your health. Leading a healthy life as compared to living with bad habits can make all the difference in the world. What you perceive as healthy may or may not be accepted by society. There are different levels of being healthy. Are you fit and healthy or are you healthy as a horse. When horses become unhealthy they are usually sent to the glue factory. You can’t do that with humans, so again how healthy are you. Some people are healthier than others, but what is the standard of being healthy. I believe it means not having any physical ailments, mental depression or a loss of spirit. After all is said and done society believes that as a human being we have these three parts that make us up as people. Mind, body and soul, which are three very different energies that together makes us the individuals that we are and become. Yes, we are made up of energies in different forms. Most people do not believe that they can alter energies to make changes in their life for the better. We can see changes physically if we diet and exercise. We cannot physically see changes mentally and spiritually as much. For these we must dig way deep down inside to help alter the existence we perceive as ourselves. When alterations are reached a person will definitely show some physical signs of happiness or contentment.
How to stay physically healthy is one of the three keys to staying healthy. We are taught when we are young children about doing exercises and activities and how this is important to living a good life. Schools are a big proponent to sports and gym classes to promote physical activity for all of their students. Parents automatically insist that children should go outside and play, not only for their physical activity but also for a moment of peace. That is a two fold approach and it does work. Staying physically healthy can be hard work for some and others are natural at just staying healthy without ever even trying. It does not always seem fair but this is the way of the world. Some people are overweight and some are too thin. Being a human being with all of the smarts we retain, we can train ourselves with and with out the help of others to be active. If a dog can be trained to do tricks than I believe as a person with a brain this should not be a problem. The main factor in keeping us from achieving our goals is our own selves. This comes down to the decisions we make and if we will follow through to completion of such goal that has been set. It is called will power. Where there is a will there is a way. We know you can will yourself to do something. If done with the proper mindset anything can be done. You may feel as though you are forcing yourself to do a particular activity and that is fine because you are starting a new regiment of movements. This will always be difficult in the beginning due to the fact that you are getting out of your comfort zone and are not familiar with these new steps. You will fuel yourself every time you complete any part of the new activities after you have begun a new routine. Everything will always take a bit of time until you become comfortable with your new comfort zone. Start new positive activities to build a better physical future.
How to stay mentally healthy is another key to keeping great overall health. If one is depressed everything in their life will generally go down hill. Negativity is like the plague and kills everything in it’s path. When a person gets so overwhelmed and buries themselves with depression every aspect of their life is affected. Their spirit will take a nose dive due to the fact that mentally they can not cope with the negative mindset they carry believing they are beyond help and have lost hope. One must always try to keep a positive mindset no matter what happens in life. If you share positivity and happiness with others, you will feel good about everything you are doing. Also, people will generally share back with you and completes the circle leading us into a great mindset which offsets negativity within our life. When we were children and heard many stories from kid’s books they all had positive themes to encourage us as we grew up into adults with problems. Do not ever forget some of those great tales in order to help encourage ourselves from time to time as we need going through life. Remember ‘The Little Engine That Could’
How to stay healthy spiritually is the third key to obtaining great overall health. Outside of your physical being and your mental state lies one more form of energy we possess and that is the spirit or soul or as I like to say a belief in a higher power or being. Something that is greater than ourselves and more than the mind is able to perceive. There is definitely a reason for all of the different religions with churches and congregations. They are all reaching out to their versions of higher powers or beings. If you believe in such an entity or you do not that is entirely up to each individual as we all have different beliefs. What ever the choice is, everyone does acknowledge the fact that there is such an entity and that does bring in some concern of keeping spiritually healthy. The simplest way to stay spiritually healthy is not to do any wrong or hurt others. Do not carry and share negativity with others. Try to always do good deeds for others and keep a clear conscience at all times. Spread happiness and joy to others all the time. Help the needy and give of yourself to those who are less fortunate. Attend church services and always expand on your beliefs in helping others.Give of yourself and build up great spirituality which leads to great health.
The Three Keys to tremendous overall health can be achieved very easily if one has the proper mindset. This is the trick to reaching the goal of great overall health. So that would mean that you need to get your mind in to the proper mode to generate what needs to be done in each individual life. So setting goals is usually the very first step and means forcing one’s self to get out of their comfort zone with in their mindset to be able to begin doing physical activity. This is not easy but must be done in order of bringing change to one’s being better goal. Also the mindset must be placed in order for bringing peace to one’s spirit. In all the mind must be set up with the absolute proper mindset to begin anything physical, mental or spiritual. Everything in this world is a challenge for the first time. There are steps to follow from those before us who have helped figure out simpler ways of achieving certain mindsets for reaching goals we set for ourselves. Open up your mind and believe that you can obtain any goal you set for yourself. Go for it full force with a clear mind and spirit and you will achieve every goal you set. Do not give up and live happily ever after.
