Awareness for Healthy lifestyle

  

Awareness on Healthy Lifestyle is made for everyone to live healthier lives.It is not just about eating enough fruits and vegetables but also considering the fact that everything that goes into the body should provide some benefit. It is also the time for spending quality moments with loved ones and friends which is important as well for an overall healthy lifestyle and well-being ;



Stop Smoking: 

Aside from cancer, there are many other negative health effects of smoking.

 Take Alcohol in limit:

 Too much alcohol is bad for your health because of many reasons. It can even lead to damage of your internal organs specifically the liver with long-term alcohol abuse

.
Exercise Regularly:

Being active physically is an important part of good overall health. There are many forms of exercise and you just need to find one that suits your preferences.

stay Hydrated: 

This is very important especially when you live in a hot place. You need at least 8 glasses of water a day but this number increases when you sweat a lot due to physical activity or the climate. Limit intake of beverages that can cause dehydration like alcoholic drinks and those that contain caffeine.

Take Balanced Diet:

 Balance is the key to having a healthy diet. You need to eat a wide variety of unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, starchy food, and lean protein sources. You need the right ratio of fat, carbohydrates, and protein.

Increase Calcium Intake:

 Calcium is a very important mineral not just for healthy bones and teeth. It is also vital for other bodily functions like the contraction of muscle

Take  Daily Dose of Vitamin D

Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin since it is created by the body after sun exposure.

 Take Lower Salt:

Too much salt intake increases blood pressure in the long run which also increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

                          Aware of Stress in Your Life

 If people start with the understanding that stress is an event or a force that upsets a balance, they can begin to see some of the ways that they might be affected by stress. Seeing clearly where undesirable stress occurs in one’s life is the first step in managing it. One can examine how stress affects his or her body, emotions and thoughts.

Physical or External Stress

Physical or external stress, stress which affects the body, is the most straightforward and easy to identify. When people work too hard, stay up too late, or eat and drink too much, they feel the direct physical results of these actions. They are more likely to sleep poorly and feel tired and ill

.

Some external stresses seem beyond one’s control. The stress of a job that is boring, unrewarding or excessively demanding can make one miserable and more prone to illness. However, it is more difficult to correct this kind of problem than it is to eat a healthy diet or get more sleep

Emotional Stress

Psychological or emotional stress may seem less concrete, but it has an equally definite effect on an individual’s health and well-being. Being able to identify areas of psychological stress is challenging, but important since they may have an even greater impact on one’s happiness than physical or external stress.

When people are lonely, depressed or unhappy, they are more likely to become sick and less likely to enjoy the things that should give them pleasure. When people have any type of stress that exceeds what they can comfortably manage, they are much more likely to become depressed and anxious.

Stress and Distortions in Thinking

Stress also affects what people think. When individuals are very stressed, particularly if they become anxious or depressed, their ability to think clearly and objectively may be affected. People can easily feel less capable or weaker than they truly are, and think that their situation is much worse than it really is.

 This is not necessarily so because people’s thoughts can be completely untrue. An exaggerated inaccurate thought such as “I’m totally worthless,” may be believed because the feeling behind it is true; it reflects a true feeling of despair or hopelessness.

People sometimes deny that their thinking is affected by their feelings. Believing distorted or negative thoughts makes it more difficult to work effectively to address one’s problems. If individuals really believe that everything is hopeless and that they will never do anything right

. If one is depressed and feels hopeless enough, sometimes it seems easier to throw up his or her hands in despair than to deal with the real problems. The only way to know if a thought is accurate is to look directly at the thought as it occurs and examine it.

                How to Live the Good Life

This is something that triggers a moment of gratitude. It can be a person, a specific time, an object etc. and whenever you see it you take a moment to reflect on all the things you’re grateful for.

We all want to be happier and live more fulfilling lives. The question is: How? We pursue success, relationships, hobbies, etc. but what do you do when it still feels like something is missing? The answer is in your thoughts.

A growing body of research has found that practicing grateful thinking is key to being happier, healthier and having better relationships.

How Far You Have Come

 If you want to be happy you need to forget about the negative things in the past, When you take time to remember the challenges you’ve overcome, it can heighten your feelings of gratitude in the present. The key is to focus on being grateful for the progress you’ve made instead of resenting the ways difficult times have held you back.

To Start a Gratitude Journal

I love The Five Minute Journal because it gives you questions that only take 5 minutes a day to answer and realize all of the wonderful things in your life. Keep it by your bedside to use first thing in the morning or before you go to sleep. Or, bring it with you to work and fill it out as a midday happiness boost.

Being Thankful is Sexy

It is found that couples who frequently show gratitude toward each other have greater satisfaction in their relationships because it creates a feedback loop of trust and intimacy.

Think about it: would not you feel more loved if your partner told you on a regular basis why they are grateful to be with you? Plus, the more you reflect on the amazing qualities your partner has, the happier you are to be with them.

The Big G Share Effect

 That sharing your positive experiences with others strengthens your relationship with them. This is because emotions are contagious, so when you are happy it makes other people feel good too and those feelings then create a sense of togetherness that helps you connect on a deeper level. invite your friend to join you in practicing gratitude by sharing what you’re grateful for with each other.

Have a Gratitude Totem

The hardest part of practicing gratitude is remembering to do it. This is why I use a helpful tool called a gratitude totem. This is something that triggers a moment of gratitude. It can be a person, a specific time, an object etc. and whenever you see it you take a moment to reflect on all the things you’re grateful for.

Golden Rules on Living the Good Life

1. Examine life, engage life with vengeance; always search for new pleasures and new destinies to reach with your mind.

Living life is about examining life through reason, nature’s greatest gift to humanity. The importance of reason in sensing and examining life is evident in all phases of life-

 

 2. Worry only about the things that are in your control, the things that can be influenced and changed by your actions, not about the things that are beyond your capacity to direct or alter.

This rule summarizes several important features of ancient Stoic wisdom — features that remain powerfully suggestive for modern times. Most notably the belief in an ultimately rational order operating in the universe reflecting a benign providence that ensures proper outcomes in life.  Thinkers such as Epictetus did not simply prescribe “faith” as an abstract philosophical principle; they offered a concrete strategy based on intellectual and spiritual discipline

.

3. Treasure Friendship, the reciprocal attachment that fills the need for affiliation. Friendship cannot be acquired in the market place, but must be nurtured and treasured in relations imbued with trust and amity

one of the defining characteristics of humanity that distinguishes it from other forms of existence is a deeply engrained social instinct, the need for association and affiliation with others, a need for friendship. 

4. Experience True Pleasure. Avoid shallow and transient pleasures. Keep your life simple. Seek calming pleasures that contribute to peace of mind. True pleasure is disciplined and restrained

 In its many shapes and forms, pleasure is what every human being is after. It is the chief good of life. Yet not all pleasures are alike. Some pleasures are kinetic—shallow, and transient, fading away as soon as the act that creates the pleasure ends.

5. Master Yourself. Resist any external force that might delimit thought and action; stop deceiving yourself, believing only what is personally useful and convenient; complete liberty necessitates a struggle within, a battle to subdue negative psychological and spiritual forces that preclude a healthy existence; self-mastery requires ruthless candor

One of the more concrete ties between ancient and modern times is the idea that personal freedom is a highly desirable state and one of life’s great blessings. Today, freedom tends to be associated, above all, with political liberty. Therefore, freedom is often perceived as a reward for political struggle, measured in terms of one’s ability to exercise individual “rights.”

6.  Avoid Excess. Live life in harmony and balance. Avoid excesses. Even good things, pursued or attained without moderation, can become a source of misery and suffering.

This rule is echoed in the writings of ancient Greek thinkers who viewed moderation as nothing less than a solution to life’s riddle. The idea of avoiding the many opportunities for excess was a prime ingredient in a life properly lived, as summarized i

 7. Be a Responsible Human Being. Approach yourself with honesty and thoroughness; maintain a kind of spiritual hygiene; stop the blame-shifting for your errors and shortcomings

Be honest with yourself and be prepared to assume responsibility and accept consequences. This rule comes from Pythagoras, the famous mathematician and mystic, and has special relevance for all of us because of the common human tendency to reject responsibility for wrongdoing.

8. Don’t Be a Prosperous Fool. Prosperity by itself, is not a cure-all against an ill-led life, and may be a source of dangerous foolishness. Money is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the good life, for happiness and wisdom

Prosperity has different meanings to different people. For some, prosperity is about the accumulation of wealth in the form of money, real estate and equities. For others, prosperity is about the accumulation of power and the achievement of status that comes with the appointment to business or government positions

9. Don’t Do Evil to Others. Evildoing is a dangerous habit, a kind of reflex too quickly resorted to and too easily justified that has a lasting and damaging effect upon the quest for the good life. Harming others claims two victims—the receiver of the harm, and the victimizer, the one who does harm

Contemporary society is filled with mixed messages when it comes to the treatment of our fellow human beings.The message of the religious heritage, for instance, is that doing evil to others is a sin, extolling the virtues of mercy, forgiveness, charity, love, and pacifism. Yet, as we all know, in practice these inspiring ideals tend to be in very short supply. Modern society is a competitive, hard-bitten environment strongly inclined to advocate self-advantage at the expense of the “other.” 

 

 10. Kindness towards others tends to be rewarded. Kindness to others is a good habit that supports and reinforces the quest for the good life. Helping others bestows a sense of satisfaction that has two beneficiaries—the beneficiary, the receiver of the help, and the benefactor, the one who provides the help.

   

          To Start ‘Living Big’ and Creating Best Life

“Living Big” is a mindset of living with abundance. Now the abundance is not what you own, or have, it is what you share. There are as many wonderful ways to Living Big as there are water drops in an ocean, needles on an evergreen tree, grains of sand on a beach.

Living Big is learning to generously share yourself, your stories, and enjoy the exciting connections that develop. It’s putting yourself out into the world and embracing the things that once scared you. It can change your life and increase your happiness and even your self-assuredness

But what exactly does this concept mean, and how can you use it in your everyday life? Simply put, Living Big means taking every opportunity that comes your way. It means seeing these opportunities and trying your best to make every day another chance for you to succeed and be happy.

How can you start using Living Big in your life? Here are ways you can share your talent and amazing self with the world:

1. Shift Your Focus to Positive Things.

Human beings are programmed to see the negative in life, and so it can take some time to stop focusing on this when something good happens to you. And it’s important not to dwell on the negative and to instead embrace the positive effects in your life. Focus on being abundant in the areas that count, like generousness, innovation, creativity, resilience, honesty, and happiness.

These positive expressions will make sure that you’re living life according to a healthy moral compass and will draw similarly-minded people to you as well

2. Live with Humility and Gratitude

You only need to breathe, eat, drink, sleep, work, and play in order to live in this awesome system. And the miracle of support keeps on happening, every moment of every day. This is whether you are aware of it or not. The greater your awareness, the greater your humility and gratitude.

When you live with humility, you begin to recognize that every morning, you’re given a new chance to make the most out of your life, simply by waking up!

Part of Living Big is in recognizing the areas where you can be grateful and then being grateful for them. You get to pursue many wonderful things in this big, beautiful world, and every day is an opportunity to make certain that you’re in the practice of saying, 

“Thank you!” whether it’s to ourselves, the people who help you, the planet that supports you, or the universe that sustains you.

3. Appreciate the Freedom That You Have

Freedom is not something someone gives you. It is something you take. So how can you truly appreciate this power and the ability you have to pursue the things you want in life?

Create a commitment and every day, recognize your freedom and embrace your goals. Understand that they are possible, and go for it! Then see how accepting your freedom and your chance to do something wonderful in this world will change your life for the better.

 When you live enthusiastically with the knowledge that you have choices on how to respond to everything that comes your way, you will be able to see the big picture that you’re striving toward, and you’ll gain some insight into how to bring your passion to life

4. Live Your Dreams Like, Already Happening.

Your dreams will take you on a life-changing and ever-evolving journey that will grow and thrive as you do. And as you live big, they will change and become even better, new dreams replacing and building on the dreams you’ve already achieved

In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, you learned the importance of staying on your path with friends who love you and fighting for your dreams no matter how hard things get. Living Big encourages you to do the same

5. Teach You Discipline and to Love and Accept Yourself.

Following a structure — any structure — requires discipline. Living Big and looking through the world to see the possibilities will require effort and discipline as well.

The more disciplined you are, the greater your self-love and the better the results in your life. Living Big is something everyone wants to achieve. Yet, wanting something is not enough.

You deserve to be happy in life and to have the opportunity to fulfill your dreams. Living Big will help open these options to you and teach you to appreciate everything you have in life, even as you strive for bigger, better things. Open yourself to possibilities and you can become the change you want to see in your own life!

                      How to Live a Good life

 Everyone wants to live a good life, some even dream about having a great life! Most people wanted to have a good life, but unfortunately, most of them are not living the life they want.

Living life on purpose

Successful people who have accomplished outstanding result in their lives have a clear purpose.

They know what they want to do with their lives and they have a reason, a strong one to wake up each morning

When you have no reason and you do not know what you want to accomplish in your life, you will wake up without purpose and feel tired every morning.

Thus, you must start your day great with a clear purpose

Your dreams will guide you and they will drive you to go through life. They give you a clear sense of direction and they let you know what you need to do to get there.

All successful people have a dream. You must do the same

.

If you haven’t found your dream yet, do not settle and keep looking. Having a dream that motivates you, drives you and able to guide you in life is the number one key to living a good life.

Going through life without having a dream is like losing direction and getting lost. 

To discover what you want to achieve in your life right now. Find out your purpose in life and have a dream.

Let passion drives you

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

You cannot live a good life without passion. Your passion will motivate you like fuel can drive the engine.

It may be difficult in the beginning, but in the end and over the long-term, choosing a work or a job or a career that you love will always make you more money.

Oftentimes it is difficult to pursue what you love because what you love doing may not be able to generate you the income you desire.

The reason is simple, you can only do great work when you love what you do

Here are 2 points you have to fulfill in order to create amazing result in life:

1. You must have the passion for it.
2. You must have the skill for it.              

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid

What are your goals

Do you know that setting goals are important in life

Not only that your goals can guide you, but they can also give you hope and they allow you to measure your progress.

However, after a week, you feel lost because you did not see any result coming in. And after that, you slowly let go on it and eventually forget about it.

They did not write down their goals and they never review their goals.

Here’s a powerful principle you must remember when it comes to goal achievement, “What is out of sight, will be out of your mind.”

It is true that you should focus most of your energy into your MIG (Most-Important-Goal), but you must have more goals, big and small, to make your life more colorful and interesting.

Save as much as you can

What it means is that you have to help and contribute as much as you can.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile

Do more good, help others, and always contribute back to the society. You can call it Karma or whatever word you prefer, this is the golden rule of life

It is said that if you want to get rich, you have to make others rich. You have to create values for them, help people to solve their problems and get them what they want.

Try to smile and greet a stranger in the lift, I can be sure that he or she will smile back and greet you.

When you donate some money to people who are in need, you know deep within you that you have more than enough and you are willing to share

As a result, you will feel good. And when you feel good, good things will come to you.

What you can do is to start small. You don’t have to go out and donate millions; you can start off by helping others or donate a small percentage of your money.

Keep yourself healthy

You cannot live a good life without having a good health to enjoy your life.

Living your life with a good health and going through every day with energy are often underestimated by most people.

If you are healthy right now, it does not mean that you will continue to be healthy all the time. You need to take care and prevent yourself from falling ill.

And without good energy, you can never be productive. Some people feel sleepy in the day because they sleep late or they took alcohol the night before

Some people are always tired because they do not exercise and they have never sweat through their body for a long time.

Never let this happen to you. Make sure you are healthy and full of energy.

Sleep well 

Eat healthily

Stop smoking and less alcohol

Exercise more

Be and stay happy

Living a good life requires happiness. To be and stay happy all the time

It is simple, just focus on things that make you happy, and you will feel the joy. And if you focus and think about things that make you upset, you will feel the sadness in you.

Change your thoughts and your focus; you can change your feelings and emotion

 Your progress will make you happy and satisfy as well.

Satisfaction comes along with progress. This is why people set goals and then measure their progress

When you know you are moving forward toward living your dream life each day, you will feel happy and fulfill.
