What Are The Questions To Live Healthy?

When in doubt, ask more questions. You know the feeling when sometimes you are not sure if something is good for you or not? Or when sometimes you know it is “bad” for you but still hesitating if you should do it or not.

Well, here is a great tool that is helping me for many years on my journey to healthy living.

3 simple questions that you can ask yourself:

Is it going to make me feel good? Not necessarily at the moment of doing, but later, am I going to feel good about it or with it.
Is it going to make me think good thoughts? Is this going to make you think highly of yourself, are you going to be guilt free with this action.
Is it something I’d like to repeat regularly? Doing this will make me want to do it over and over.

Hope you find this questions useful and helpful.

With love and gratitude

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.

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.

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...
