Contrary to popular belief that to stay healthy, is to do
everything right at the right place and at the right time. However,
the truth is that the magic to stay healthy is more inclined to
inner rather than external factors. Bear in mind that you are
what you think and you are living in an ideal world with lots of
imperfections. To begin with, to have a healthy life,
you must know the true meaning of happiness, joy, peace
and health. There are no two ways about it.
If you believe that your mind is in control of yourself,
then you are really what you think. In other words, if
you believe that you are healthy,then you are most likely to stay
healthy. Similarly, it is also true if you believe otherwise. In
short, life is the sum of all your thoughts.
As such, I have listed down some of the steps which may help you
to shape your life .
1. THE MAGIC
You may personally experience the unlimited power that lies
inside you. That is the magic that makes thing favorable and
achievable by you. You will continue to create new and
higher level of living than what you are enjoying now. That magic
power is an auto response from yourself, which is lasting and
consistent to your belief.
Therefore, what lies behind and in front of you is nothing
compared to what lies inside you. So to stay healthy, you must
build your inner health that will be reflected by your
thoughts, actions and conduct.
2. ASSUME FULL CONTROL OF YOURSELF
You need to assume full control of yoursellf, be it mental,
emotional, physical or spiritual. No matter what you have
already done or how many challenges you have taken, deep inside you
there lies a belief that your experience of life can and will be
much greater than it is. By doing so, you will filter out all the
negative news that will creep into your thought.
Couple with your positive perspective, you can convert it
into energy that will flame the fire of your health. As a
result, your emotion will not be adversely affected.
3. ENTIRELY FREE
You must raise the standards and set yourself entirely free from
any doubt, worry or fear that you may have. This is vitally
important and you must have the enduring power to
overcome anything and everything that blocks your way from staying
healthy. Nothing can hold you back. You must remove the fear of
sickness, worry, bondage of your past experience or anything which
may cause you to lose that control.
4. FAITH
To overcome any doubt or fear of sickness, you have faith that
nothing can shake you or divert you from what you believe in. This
belief must be rooted deeply inside your heart so that you have the
power to overcome whatsoever challenges you will encounter at a
later date. This will generate the superb power that will
assist you to overcome anything – no matter what situation you are
in. You must be reminded that you are the captain of your mind and
soul at all times and you will not subject yourself to any
situation or condition. In short, you must not be affected AT
ALL by any external factor, even if you are caught unprepared. This
is the driving force behind any great success throughout
history.
5 POSITIVE WORDS, ACTION AND APPROACH
To stay calm and healthy, you must make it a point to use
positive words in line with your lasting and consistent
action. By affirming and reaffirming, you will automatically
strengthen your thoughts. It functions like our muscle. Even though
there is any adversary , it will be regarded as temporary
and shaped you towards your destination, rather than
failure.Therefore you will constantly define your health and shape
your life style so toward achieving the highest possible level of
well-being, filling yourself with peace of mind and freeing you to
look forward with excitement to all the possibilities that life has
to offer.
6. MOVING FORWARD
Keep on moving forward on your chosen path. You must not
allow the bad experiences from the past to hold you back
and divert any of your attention and focus. To you, what is more
important is to keep on moving forward according to your
pre-set life style. You have to perpetually stay focus on your
healthy life
style and must not allow the circumstantial events to
influence you in anyway.
7. STAYING FOCUS
Because you are able to stay focus on your healthy
life-style, you will always have full control of yourself. In
all circumstances, you are contented and satisfied with the result
regardless whether it is positive or negative. To you, what is more
important is your destiny, and not the journey.
8. TAKE PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
Before you make any decision, you must to held personal
accountability to your health and not blaming others. This is in
line with your belief that you are always in full control of your
health and not others. Then, you will only response to take the
appropriate actions to fulfill your real needs and not react to it.
The difference between the former and latter is that the former is
taking an action on the controllable factors to resolve the issue
that arises, but not in the negative manner as in the
latter.
9. BEGIN WITH ACTION
Setting goal without action will bring you no where. That’s why
so many goals fail to materialize. In this context, you must work
out a realistic work plan and schedule to achieve your desired
healthy lifestyle. Otherwise, you will be disappointed or depressed
with the outcome. Therefore, it is always appropriate to begin with
small goal, so that you can build up your confidence to take up a
heavier tasks in the future.
10. MAKE A COMMITTED DECISION
Prior to your action, you have to make a committed decision –
that will really drive you towards your pre-set healthy lifestyle.
In this manner, you will carry out the necessary actions
wholeheartedly with your mind and soul in consistent with your
belief. Along the journey, you need lots of will power and
determination to overcome the obstacles, big or small, as when it
arises so as to achieve your ultimate goals.
Otherwise, you will be easily swung away especially when you are
constantly facing with obstacles that come along your journey.
That’s why you see lots of people give up in the midst way.
11. MANAGING YOUR COMMITTED DECISION
It is equally important for you to take note that even making a
committed decision, it will not guarantee the success. Why I said
so? It is because you need to manage your decision in a lasting and
consistently manner throughout your journey towards the lasting
healthy lifestyle your desired. In fact, you will realize that
making a decision is very much easier than managing it because the
latter requires discipline and persistent to managing it in a way
towards the lasting healthy lifestyle.
Trust the above is of assistance to you and stay tuned.
