I Am Healthy

 “I am healthy”, which is also the title of my book is my go to mantra.

OK, why is it so important to have this kind of mantra on your journey to living healthier life? well, one cannot get healthier if he/she thinks like a lazy person, I choose to use healthy VS lazy, first, because we are not talking here about sickness or health, but in this manner I refer to it as taking the actions to be healthy or choosing the action to stay lazy. So without a mantra that will elevate the way we think, we might end up at the same place.

living healthy requires effort, determination, strong will power, self discipline, consistency and some might say even choosing boring life style, I beg to differ, but… all of those will not come to practice unless one is able to “THINK HEALTHY” this is the key to transform our lives.

So what is thinking healthy? If I may, before I dive in, I would like first to define what healthy is. Healthy is well being of the physical, mental, emotional states, where disease and infirmity are absent.

so if we know it is a well being of the above, all we have left to do is to figure out what is healthy thought that will contribute to the well being of our physical, mental and emotional being. If I think of myself as a lazy person, because I hate working out, I putt myself down, mentally and emotionally and since I do not take physical actions to change that part I will hurt my physical state as well. But when I change this kind of a thought to: I am an active person (not necessarily working out), this kind of thought will elevate my mental, emotional states which will result taking actions to add to that thought which will improve also my physical being.

Here is a list of thoughts that do no good to anyone, but I will help you think it in a different way:

• I am lazy – I am moving slow to feel what works for my body.
• I am weak – I just started mini routines to get me stronger, such as sitting and standing, such as taking stairs vs escalator.
• I don’t have time to prep my food – I started packing fruits and veggie as my meals till I will have more time to cook and prep lunch.
• I hate vegetables – Although the taste of some veggies doesn’t appeal to me, I choose the veggies that I like and try eating more of them.
• I hate working out – my workout is walking

I believe this list can give you an idea on how to shift from lazy thinking to healthy thinking. remember:

Your thoughts lead to your emotions which leads to your actions which leads to your results.
