The secret to true health and happiness lies within your ability to balance the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of your health. Only when you have been able to get these aspects balanced out will you be equipped for success. But, don’t be fooled, it’s not a simple task. It requires changing your entire lifestyle, rather than just amending your diet or exercise program, and it therefore is an ongoing process. In essence, health leads to happiness which in turn leads to success.
One of the first jobs to be done is that of exercise. Not only is exercise essential in gaining/maintaining a fit, well-toned physique, but it also detoxifies your body and promotes the health and function of your vital organs such as the heart and lungs. Whether you prefer vigorous exercise routines such as aerobics or more subtle types of exercises like going for a walk, you should set aside 30 minutes for yourself each day in order to partake in your favorite activity.
Another crucial factor that requires your absolute devotion and attention is that of nutrition. The easiest way to start eating healthy is to simply avoid foods high in saturated fats and sugar (such as fast foods) and to start consuming more of the healthy ‘stuff’, such as whole grains, chicken, fish, vegetables (especially greens) and fruit. While certain types of fruit juice do include some fiber and nutrients, it is preferable for you to rather eat fresh fruit whenever possible.
Eating healthily also means taking in enough vitamins, minerals and/or nutrients. Your body needs these, in the right amounts, to function properly and stay healthy. While dietary changes will go a long way in improving your nutrition levels, it is also advisable for you to take additional supplements since modern farming and preservation methods rob our food from large numbers of nutrients.
Stress is a hugely negative aspect that not only damages your brain but also causes physiological complications starting out with symptoms like fatigue, depression, insomnia and a lowered immune system. It can rob you off of all your energy and leave you wondering how to handle the situation. There are several techniques available for coping with stress, varying from breathing exercises to yoga and meditation, but no matter which you choose the most important thing is that you choose to make an effort to learn and practice these; true balance (health, happiness and success) cannot be obtained with stress in the way.
And probably the most important aspect is that of being happy, relaxed or content. You should put some time aside each day to do whatever makes you happy, whether it be spending time on a hobby of yours, quietly reading a good book, soaking in a bubble bath, listening to your favorite music or spending some time with your loved ones.
