It’s time to learn to live well
Some health guidelines but also certain attitudes can lead to a more conscious way of life, in which each person develops fully and contributes to a better world.
is a process that has us as protagonists. It is our way of doing or not doing what conditions the present and the future. That is why it is important to become aware of our actions and direct them towards a way of being that fills us with fullness.
In the face of life’s challenges, the forms of adaptation are endless, and the old code of facing or fleeing takes many different forms. Little by little we are shaping the way we prefer to live. We all do it, even those who think they are victims of their environment. But too many times it is just a matter of pulling, of surviving.
Hence, to feel fully satisfied, it is necessary to find a way to build a well-being. It is about a choice, about facing challenges and objectives, discovering your own strengths and wanting to be aware of who we are and how our surroundings are. Regardless of the circumstances of our life so far, we can all choose how we would like the future to be and try to build it .
There are guidelines that help lead a higher quality life. You can bet on a way to do healthier, more joyful, more authentic. It is about adopting small habits that enrich existence and give you new perspectives.
But what is essential is not the changes themselves but what each choice means. If we just copy some recipes, if we do not think, we do not choose and we do not become aware of why, they will be useless. The interesting thing is to integrate or design attitudes so as not to continue living in the inopia , banded by what surrounds us and without knowing what is our place in the world.
A first step may be to enjoy and be responsible for your own health, not just be patient. All our actions have a positive or negative impact on it. Furthermore, when acting on the physical body we act on emotions, thoughts and spirituality, and vice versa. Maintaining health is not difficult if you consider some basic pillars on which it is sustained.
It is not necessary to obsess over them, it is enough to follow some guidelines of moderation and good sense, each in his own way.
EAT BETTER, LIVE BETTER
The way of eating configures a way of understanding life. To improve it, it is necessary to observe current habits and attitude towards eating. Thus, it is possible to see if the anxieties or fears replace the true appetite and if the dietary guidelines respond to effective health patterns.
If not, you can start on a path to eating healthier . This implies starting with a diet based on quality raw materials in which cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables and nuts predominate. Simple dishes with a variety of natural ingredients that prioritize raw food.
Daily salads and fruit consumption are essential for a good nutritional balance . You can participate in the generation of food through small organic gardens.
A MORE AGILE BODY
It is highly recommended to practice techniques that provide strength, grace and flexibility . When a person regularly exercises, his body is more agile and, by increasing his endorphin flow, he feels more content. If you also include skills related to the knowledge of breathing and active meditation , you gain concentration. The same act affects all levels of your health.
There are countless centers that can guide and a great variety of techniques that include from the most diverse stretches to dances or martial arts, but the most important thing is consistency , just like in dental hygiene. On the other hand, walking, running, swimming or cycling activate blood circulation, rebalance vital signs and provide the pleasure of contact with the environment.
BREATHING EXERCISES
Breathing accompanies all vital and emotional states. Good breathing brings more air to the lungs and more oxygen to the blood and cells. That makes us feel calm, calm and more lucid. Conversely, breathing that is ragged or contaminated with toxic substances, such as nicotine, carries less oxygen and decreases vital capacity.
It is an instrument always at hand that allows us to intervene on moods. Learning to redirect it can help, for example, in an exam or in a traffic delay.
To improve it you have to observe it. Is it thin or is it so compressed that we almost drowned? Is it altered and runaways? Or is it open, calm and generous?
Often the way of breathing is accompanied by a certain body posture , and even a way of facing life, and by acting on one of these factors, those that accompany it also improve. You can learn to breathe sitting quietly, with your legs parallel and your back straight, at home, on the bus, or in the dentist’s waiting room.
The hands are placed over the navel and the tips of the middle fingers are allowed to come together slightly. When you breathe in, the air is brought as low as possible and you can see that the fingers separate and the abdomen swells. Expiration should be slow , until the fingers meet again. It can be accompanied by a sigh or a yawn.
You can also practice stretched out on the bed or on the floor, with your knees bent. Batches of six breaths are made several times a day , until they get used to it.
CULTIVATE MOMENTS OF SERENITY AND MEDITATION
To quiet the mental rush and regain inner calm , time can be spent releasing thought, whether by returning to sensations, observing the environment, or practicing meditation exercises.
- Deactivate the mind. Find a pleasant environment to carry out activities that satisfy you and that you can do without having your mind particularly active. Here all the creative skills would come in , like knitting or crafts. It would also serve to take a walk through a beautiful place trying to regain attention each time you lose it.
- Feeding the senses. Focus on something that awakens one of your senses: a flower, a burning candle, a photo of a loved one, a mandala … It is also useful to close your eyes and focus on calm music, following the melody or an instrument. If you are walking, observe and perceive the simplest elements, such as the shape of a stone, the hue of a leaf or the aroma of a plant.
- Breathe and count. To get used to practicing meditation you can do very simple exercises, like counting breaths. Every time you breathe in and out count one, breathe again and count two, breathe and three, breathe and four. You can help yourself by touching each of the fingers of the hand with the thumb. Nothing happens if you get confused, the important thing is to know how to return to the object of attention again and again.
- Meditate sitting. To advance in the practice of meditation you can sit in a comfortable posture, with your back upright and your eyes closed. After two or three deep breaths you can use a spiritual phrase as a reminder. For example, repeating and feeling: “I am at peace with myself and with the world” or oriental mantras such as om mani padme hum or sa ta na ma . When you realize that a thought has diverted your attention, go back to the guiding phrase. Each time it will be easier for you to reach a state of inner calm and lengthen these moments of interiority. At first it may be enough to meditate for a few minutes.
