Am I Healthy?

 I doubt you’ll find many people asking themselves this question:

“Am I healthy?”

Most people tend to believe they are far from being healthy, and others exactly the opposite, over estimating how healthy they are.

Well, I believe being healthy is a subjective feeling that could be defined by the individual him/herself.

Wait, don’t get crazy on me, I know we tend to think that there are “guidelines”, “rules”, definitions to what stands to be healthy and what not, and you might be right. But, like most rules and guidelines, (which ment to be broken 😉 kidding, maybe not) they probably don’t stand the test when it comes to all individuals.

For example, one might believe that plant based diet, followed by an harmony between what one thinks and feels is the highest definition of being healthy.

And another thinks exactly the opposite, that harmony between emotions and thoughts has nothing to do with being healthy, and it is only about what you eat.

Either way could be right. If those individuals went on a self experience journey to find what works and don’t work for them, who are we to judge?

But, one must learn him/herself well enough to know and understand what works for him/herself.

And this my friend is something we all can learn as we grow.

We can practice and test what works for us and what not as a person, as ones who chooses to lead themselves towards thier own definition of healthy. Towards thier own vision of healthy life.

Don’t get me wrong, it is not easy, might be even harder to go and find for yourself what’s right for you, than to pic up someone’s else’s way of living. It is harder because it requires;

Self discipline, drive and ambition, confidence, self trust, consistency, curiosity, leadership, wisdom and some more great skills, which we all have, we just need to find the strength to practice them more often, daily.

I hope you’ll find this post helpful and valuable. Feel free to share with others, because this is a new era in wellness living, an era when we finally understand that we are the only ones to lead ourselves to a better life.

With love and gratitude

Ilan Halfon.

No Pain No Gain

  We all heard the term: “No Pain No Gain”, I use it quite often with myself, sometimes even with my trainees. However, I am not sure people actually understand the meaning of it. We tend to confuse between pain of stupidity to pain of wisdom, between the physical pain of hard work to the pain of a fracture or a nerve. The pain of a fracture might be to signal us that we are on the wrong path. A pain of a nerve could try to say that maybe we are pushing too much, a pain of stupidity could be when you think you should jump higher than you ever practice for or before, or when you just go for a marathon run when you never run for 10 km in a row. All those versions of pain could not be and should not be part of that statement. Believe me when I say, that it is more painful to push through mentally when a thing seems statics then physically when you can feel the wrong pain. It is easier to say to yourself “if I don’t feel the physical pain I probably don’t push hard enough”, then to kee...

A Path to True Wellness and Balance

 In the pursuit of a healthy life, we strive for balance, aim to maintain our health, and seek happiness within ourselves and our daily lives. While achieving this may seem straightforward, many of us face regular challenges in doing so. We often hide behind our screens, offering advice and sharing personal stories in an attempt to guide others. Yet, when we delve deeper, we find that issues such as obesity, depression, lack of joy, stress, and anxiety persist. So, what’s the key? I believe that self-reflection—practiced often, even daily—can lead us toward our desired goals. The first step is to define your destination: what does wellness truly mean to you? According to the Google Dictionary: Well: in a good or satisfactory way. Ness: denoting a state or condition. However, defining wellness alone isn’t enough to help you reach your aspirations. It requires your personal experiences, objectives, and passions to truly shape it. Begin by asking yourself: What does "well" me...
