Defining Healthy Habbits
A number of of my opinions on trying to be healthy, what it has been suggestive to me before, and what it suggest to me today. What does trying to be healthy suggest to you?
Today I like to discuss about the word healthy. Or the context of staying healthy. In 2020, what does the context of healthy even represent?
I used to accept that health was one practice and one way only. I was unconsciously blinded by my own fixation of orthorexia, anorexia and binging. I thought eating clean was the exclusive process. I specified foods as bad and good. I ate the same foods every single day for years. I weighed everything. I structured owing to most of my life felt so out of control. I worked out every single day for at least an hour. I weighed myself all the time.
For years, I accepted that all of this was healthy reason being I was skinny, ate nourishing food and exercised. How I was incredibly incorrect.
Thinking back, I can notice how wreckful I was to both myself and my bonds with people all as I simply wanted to be “healthy”. I didn’t permit myself some knowledge owing to it interfered with how I conceived I attempted live.
Not only did I have these problems, but I also judged others for their decisions when it came to food and exercise. Privately, but every so often in my head. It was incorrect.
These days are much divergent. My thoughts of what constitute of attempting to be healthy has alternated and I’m finally in this spot of composure, which I never thought would be conceivable. I’ve also matured quite a bit, trained compassion, embraced how to be kinder in acceptance, and loved myself unapolagetically. The ending portion is especially important owing to training to love and be considerate to myself brought me to love and accept others. I could understand and sympathize.
I’m not sure if you’ll concede, but I guess that most of our descriptions of staying healthy have altered especially up the years.
Society and the media are regularly catering us with countless material on how to eat, statistics on what to shun, and how to continue the best lives possible. Our fixation on being the healthiest, content humans all the time is staggering and can even be detrimental to our general well-being. Every so often we lose sight that health has more than one classification.
These are just a few cases of “staying healthy”:
• A tri-athlete has overall good health.
• People who exercises 3x a week is thought to be to be healthy.
• Consuming dessert can be constituted in a nutrient balanced diet.
• Green smoothies are a wholesome, nutritious snack or breakfast.
• Undertaking yoga is a stress diminishing mechanism of health.
There are tons of black and white ideas of what being healthy indicates and so I demand you to consider thinking outside of what’s considered normal to you. To accept others philosophy of what health implies to them and the happiness it can bring to their lives. Whether it be green smoothies or acai bowls, running followed by pizza on the weekends, early morning yoga or absorbing in time for themselves; everyone is special and so is the classification of health.
