Most of us strive to live our best lives, but what does that really mean? What is it you want for your health? Why is it so difficult for us to strike a balance between our mind, body, spirit, and community? Often, when we try to feed one vital aspect of our well-being, the others are neglected. And if we try to address all at once, we become overwhelmed.
It’s understandable that we all struggle to maintain a well-balanced life, but there are things we can do to make it just a little easier. It may simply begin by looking within — to better understand what we want for our health and why our well-being is so deeply important. The next step is to explore the “what,” any obstacle in your way and then explore the potential “how,” some practices that can draw you in.
What is your great “Why?”
Ask yourself: why do I want to be healthy? Is it so you can keep up with your kids on the playground? Is it to begin a new adventure with your spouse? To travel more? To ensure a long, healthy life with your grandchildren? Take time to reflect and ponder about it, and you are very likely to discover it organically. Then place it at the center of everything you do. You will find that the motivation, inspiration, and dedication to improve your health and well-being will emerge more strongly.
