You don’t have to make it complicated. Lose the overwhelm. Refuse to overthink this. Forget the magic supplement promising “too good to be true” results.
When it comes to experiencing and enjoying a HEALTHY LIFE, three SIMPLE HABITS make a huge difference.
HABIT #1: REST. Rest in a way that reveals that you really do trust God.
This involves taking a consistent Sabbath and getting a good night’s sleep. Your spirit, soul, mind and body need both. Even the world’s best athletes practice a rhythm of hard work + meaningful rest. You need it, too.
HABIT #2: DIET. Feed your spirit, soul, mind and body things that fuel you for EXCELLENCE.
What you regularly “feed” your spirit, soul, mind and body has a direct impact and influence on the kind of person you are becoming. This involves the stuff you read, watch and listen to. It also involves the food you eat. The old adage is still true, “Garbage in. Garbage out.”
A healthy diet doesn’t have to be complex. Every calorie consists of three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates and fat. Your body needs the appropriate amount of all three. Depending on your goals, the percentage of each will vary. Websites like MyFitnessPal.com and NOOM.com provide helpful insights into creating a diet that will give you the fuel you need to live a life of excellence.
When you start “feeding” your spirit, soul, mind and body the nutrients they need, you’ll notice the difference almost immediately.
HABIT #3: EXERCISE. Exercise in a way that increases your strength and improves your flexibility, mobility, longevity and endurance.
Far too many of us live a very sedentary lifestyle. Our careers and down time constantly have us sitting at a desk or lying on a couch. Your body was meant to move. Studies indicate that even 30 minutes of brisk walking a day can make a huge difference in terms of your mental and physical health.
The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen! Stop procrastinating. EXERCISE. Put your BODY IN MOTION today.
Most of us have become habituated to believe that lethargy, weakness, immobility and pain are a natural and normal part of life, especially if we’re getting older. Unfortunately, we don’t have a clue as to how amazing our mind and body were created to function!
You were designed for energy, strength, stamina, motion and to feel great! Consistently implementing these three habits will help you start moving in the direction of your health and fitness goals.
Once again, refuse to procrastinate. Take action today.
