How many of us often harbor the intention of living a healthier lifestyle but never take action on these intentions? Or begin to make the necessary changes so as to lead a healthier lifestyle only to see these efforts gradually fade away and we return to our old bad habits?
How many of us often harbor the intention of living a healthier lifestyle but never take action on these intentions? Or begin to make the necessary changes so as to lead a healthier lifestyle only to see these efforts gradually fade away and we return to our old bad habits?
Unfortunately the answer here is not a good one as this is what happens most of the time to most of the people as making these types of lifestyle changes can often be easier said than done and many people simply lack the determination and motivation to see these changes through. The sad part is that many of us really want to make these positive and healthier lifestyle changes but simply do not know how to go about achieving and sustaining them.
To be able to make such mental and physical lifestyle changes which will lead to a healthier and more harmonious life, one needs to be able to have a detailed plan to follow in order for the changes to be effective and sustainable. As I often teach to my Kaizen Wealth students, how can you expect to direct yourself to where it is that you want to be if you don’t even know where it is you are aiming to go?
By setting yourself definite goals and dreams, you will then have a definite and detailed description of where it is that you want to be and will be able to back up this destination with reasons for why you want to be there, this will help to keep you motivated on your journey to your goal.
The next thing you need to do is to apply the Kaizen Principle to your journey which states that you should know where you are going but take it one step at a time on a constant and ever improving basis. So long as you are moving forward constantly, and you know you are going in the right direction and making constant improvements with every step, you will be assured that you will be able to achieve your goal.
But just in case you need a bit of a jumpstart as to what steps you might take to be leading a healthier and more harmonious lifestyle, here are a couple of suggestions which might help you to take that first essential step which will begin your journey.
- Stress Management
Stress is probably one of the top killers in our modern society as everything has become faster and immediate communication is available in any number of forms, but this is no reason why we should allow stress to have an impact on our wellbeing.
By simply looking for easy and effective ways to manage your stress levels, you will be taking a very large step in the direction of leading a healthier and more harmonious lifestyle. By simply recognizing when your stress levels are beginning to rise and what the reason for this is, you will be able to just sit back and take a deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth.
This technique has been proven to instantly begin to reduce ones stress levels and have a calming effect. Then focus on what it is which is causing the stress and apply the Kaizen Principle to it by breaking it down into smaller steps and try to focus on the step which you feel will be most effective in assisting you to relieve the stress.
Once you have completed this step, continue to the next one instead of looking at the task at hand in its entirety, by doing this you will effectively reach the goal and have reduced the amount of stress you allow into your life dramatically. As the Kaizen Principle teaches, by taking small but continuous actions you will make the task at hand far more manageable and less stressful.
- Eat nutritiously and get your exercise
In our modern society we tend to allow excuses such as “I don’t have time to cook” or “I’m too busy for an exercise routine” be the crutch we need to get out of leading a healthy lifestyle, but if you think about it, neglecting your health for these reasons means that you are more concerned with the needs of others than your own as if you are not willing to take the time to look after yourself, you are in effect your own worst enemy.
Now this does not mean that you have to put hours aside so as to be able to live a healthier lifestyle, it just means you need to find other ways to approach what it is which your body requires when it comes to your exercise and eating routines.
By simply opting to take the stairs in place of the elevator or taking 10 minutes to do a stretching routine will already effectively help you to exercise while on the move. Remember any movement you make contributes to your exercise and gets your blood flowing.
When it comes to food, try to avoid fast foods, greasy foods, processed foods and television dinners, all of these are not what you need to eat healthily, rather take the time to pack a healthy meal for yourself to eat at work the following day which will reduce the chances of you simply eating these types of foods.
One should always bear in mind that the healthier your mind and body are the better you will be able to perform and be able to do all these things which keep you so busy the whole time, thus everybody benefits from your better health.
- Mindset and emotions
Many people forget that your mindset and emotions also constitute a very vital part of leading a healthier and more harmonious lifestyle. If you allow yourself to lead a life where your mind is predominantly occupied with negative thoughts, others around you will pick up on this and so to will you attract negativity into your life.
To have a harmonious lifestyle you need to entertain positive thoughts which are in harmony with the lifestyle which you desire, if you neglect to keep your emotions and thoughts as positive as possible, you will not have the happiness and harmony which you are seeking in your life.
In effect it is essential that you begin to be the gatekeeper of what you allow into your subconscious mind as the subconscious mind is the part of you which brings what you feed it into reality, so if you are allowing constant negative programming to be fed to the subconscious then that it is which it will bring into being. So be vigilant when it comes to the thoughts and emotions which you allow to occupy your mind.
- Affirmations
As I teach both my Alchemist Mentoring - and Master Key Students positive affirmations should become part of your daily routine as they truly have the power to bring about positive change in your life. They are also very effective in helping you to maintain a positive mindset.
Affirmations are very powerful tools when it comes to telling your subconscious mind what it is which you wish to achieve, so if you are trying to quit smoking an affirmation such as “I only allow natural oxygen into my lungs as it is good for me and those around me” would work very well.
By using these types of affirmations on a regular basis, you will soon find that the effect which they have on both your mindset and self motivation are truly incredible.
