Healthier Life: Simple Things for a Healthier Life
Posted on Thursday, October 27 @ 08:49:48 MSD
Topic: Health Lifestyle | Health is simply the celebration of our life. When we are healthy, we feel like celebrating. When we are sick, celebrating our life, and all life, creates health. To celebrate life to the fullest is to embrace health in the truest sense of the word.
Simple Things for a Healthier Life:
1. Don't take yourself too seriously.
Practice looking for the humor in everything, especially our own actions. Too much seriousness tightens the body and internal organs, leads to stagnation of blood and nutrients, removal of wastes. Makes us old before our time.
2. Eat less.
Nearly 20 years of studies clearly show, even in primates, that groups who are fed less daily, who eat less calories, survive longer and are much healthier, not developing the chronic illnesses as their better-fed litter-mates. Get up from the table when still feeling a little hungry. In 10 minutes you will feel satisfied. Learn to skip a meal and drink pure water, lemon, and honey when you are stressed, rushed, or upset, and especially when not hungry! Just because it is a regular meal-time doesn't mean you are required to eat.
3. Eat simple.
Eat a simple diet with as few refined and processed foods as possible. Eat a variety of foods. Eat some raw foods like celery, carrots, tomatoes, and fruits, nuts, and seeds daily.
4. Stretch and walk daily.
Give it a little time or a lot, but do it daily. If you tell yourself, "I don't have time to do yoga or stretch or walk or play an active game," then just take 10 minutes! Schedule it if you have to. Often you will find that you do have time, and once you start it feels so good you don't want to stop before 20 minutes or longer. Regularity is the key. First thing in the morning is a good tip. Do it before you get caught up in the day with all its distractions. Make it the best 10 minutes of your life.
5. Open your heart to friends and family.
This is the richest source of support, comfort, and happiness we can know. When you give love and caring to friends and family members, you get it back 10-fold. Yet often we don't take the time because we are afraid of rejection or unhappy about some imagined slight.
6. Don't let your ambition gene rule your life.
It's healthy to have a work that we love, service, and feel as if we are contributing and making full use of our talents and gifts. Work, work, work to the exclusion of relaxing walks, sports, games, time with our family and children, and friends does not foster health.
7. Learn how to ask for help.
If your life is not going well, if you are unhealthy, if you are in pain, emotionally or physically, or if you are sad or depressed regularly, ask for help. This is one of the most powerful things you can do. It fosters humility, it connects us to others. A time will come when we can offer help. If we can't ask for help with an open heart, we often will not be able to truly give help when others are in need. Seek the help of a counselor, friend, family member, clergy person, spiritual teacher. Spend some time listening to and reading spiritual books, tapes.
8. Put it all in perspective.
We are here for such a short time. We are like a falling leaf. The bud grows, expands, finds it's full expression as it absorbs the precious sunlight, sending sugars and energy back to the whole tree, which feeds the tree, and ultimately the whole ecosystem of the forest and all the insects, animals, all life. Our life is precious, and in the bigger picture, we play an important part. Do we really have time for grumpy, negative thoughts? Do we want to send those out to all of life's creations? Is that how we want to be remembered?
9. Develop healthy habits through constant practice.
My patients often ask me in my clinic, "how can I stop eating so much sugar? How can I remember to exercise? How can I learn to practice some of these healthy habits every day?" The answer is not discipline so much as practice. Diet and exercise fads don't work because we can only incorporate something in our life that becomes so automatic and easy that we do it effortlessly, daily, by practice over time. That's why smoking is so hard to quit. We practice smoking many times a day, day after day, sometimes for years. Start slowly, but just do it regularly. Start with one thing. Eat baby organic carrots rather than a candy bar every day for months and you will have it. Awareness is looking to see what isn't working in our life. Take the time to look closely, carefully. Then practice a healthy habit to replace an unhealthy habit. Don't try and do too much, too fast.
10. Give thanks.
We are so blessed to have a body that feels, that is able to perceive the immense beauty all around us. To live on this earth with so many other luminous and beautiful beings. Give thanks. |
