10 Tips for a Physically and Mentally Balanced Life
Every moment of every day, we have the ability to create
for ourselves new beginnings and new challenges that will help us reach
our full potential, and that all things are possible.
It's easy to get overwhelmed by negative thoughts,
people, and circumstances, but we can take steps to understand what
it means to live a balanced life. Vital health and peace of mind go
hand in hand - you can't be physically super fit without being mentally
super fit as well.
And more and more people today are interested in becoming
truly healthy - not just physically - but mentally, spiritually, and
emotionally as well.
Here are 10 tips to keep yourself in balance:
1. Exercise.
A well-rounded fitness routine includes strength training, aerobic conditioning,
and flexibility. Critical to your success in staying balanced is to
make exercise a TOP PRIORITY in your life - and staying committed to
it. Being fit helps you to enjoy life. It increases mental sharpness
and physical endurance. An energized body helps give you a positive
outlook on life, plus you look great, feel great, and reduce your risk
of disease.
2. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
Water helps transport vital nutrients, regulates body temperature, eases
digestion, keeps joints supple, cleans out your body, keeps skin healthy
and young. Not drinking enough leads to dehydration, resulting in headaches,
fatigue, dizziness, constipation, and foggy memory.
Not drinking enough water can lead to excess water
weight, because our bodies will store water outside our cells. That's
where you feel bloaty and heavy. Water helps the liver do its job more
efficiently, namely in metabolizing fat. If you're not consuming enough
water, your liver has to work overtime with its other primary function:
detoxifying the body.
Water helps maximizes the liver's efficiency of both
jobs, so you keep your insides clean, your weight healthy, and get rid
of fat.
3. Life is perfect, even if you don't think
it is.
God deals you a hand every day. What you get is what you get. Your job
is to do the best you can with the hand you're dealt. That doesn't mean
you have to "lie down and play dead." What can you do better
to make your life MORE perfect? Know that you can create your dreams,
no matter how difficult life can be at times.
4. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Helen Keller once said, "Life is either a series of adventures,
or it is nothing." We all have this shield of armor that protects
us from some aspect of life. This shield is your comfort zone. And that
comfort zone is a haven for disintegration. When you take off this armor,
the only thing you're risking is GROWTH, a wonderful life, high energy,
and a leaner body.
5. Be a daily visionary.
Visualize your goals and your dreams - every day. Take a five-minute
break from your computer, stop off on the side of the road in between
sales meetings, and create a motion picture on the screen of your mind
of your goals, your dreams, of how you'd like your life to be. Visualize
yourself already in possession of your wishes.
6. Feed your body well.
Your diet can help prevent illness and disease. Some 300,000 deaths
per year are a result of poor lifestyle choices, and nutrition habits
is one of those poor choices. 1) Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and
veggies a day, 2) Eat at least 4 balanced meals a day, 3) Eat a variety
of fruits and veggies - in different colors. These colors will give
you a greater spectrum of valuable disease-fighting nutrients.
7. Live in the present.
Yesterday's gone. Tomorrow never comes. Be fully present each moment
and free yourself from the ball-and-chain of yesterday and tomorrow.
Everything is always in the present moment, so live it fully.
8. Live with integrity.
You talk the talk, but can you walk the walk? Being in integrity means
you really are who you appear to be. How you live your life is reflected
in your commitments, your values, your beliefs, your sense of right
and wrong. When you live in harmony with what you believe in, you have
peace and happiness flowing into your life.
9. Develop high self-esteem.
You already know how you benefit from a high self-esteem. People who
you care about benefit, too. Let go of your emotional baggage, treat
yourself with respect. Your attitude - how you think, feel, and act
- mirrors how you feel about yourself.
10. Live respectfully.
You are NOT at the mercy of your circumstances. George Bernard Shaw
said, "The winners in life look for the ideal circumstances, and
if they cannot find them, THEY MAKE THEM." Are YOU letting your
present results and circumstances control YOU? Are YOU making things
happen?
