Let's Get Healthy

How fun is it to love yourself or should I correct myself and not only say love, but also say to value yourself. Well... we tend to love other people, but forget to love and especially to value ourselves.  A lot of people don't love or value themselves, don't know how to, or they think they do, but they don't.

Before we get into it, let see what the definition of love & value is.

Love 

• A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person, 
• feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child or friend
• sexual passion or desire

Value  

• The regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth or usefulness of something. - the material or monetary worth of something / The worth of something to the price paid or asked for it.
• Principles or standard of behaviour; one's judgment or what is important in life

We talked about how we as people always show our love and value to others and forget about ourselves, but it's about time that we show that same amount of love & value even more to ourselves and start taking care of ourselves.
To go through this journey called life, you need YOU! And to cope with this life you need to love and value yourself.
Taking care of yourself doesn't mean you survived another day, so on to the next day. You tend to forget about yourself having a lifestyle like that, and before you know it, life passes you by in just one smoke.

You need to take care of yourself mentally, physically & spiritually.
In this topic I want to talk about our physical health, you need your health to be in the best condition it can be.
Your health is so important if you want to have a healthy and long life ( until it's your time to go ) & able to enjoy it, don´t cut your own life short.


We live in a time where the majority of us has become lazy, we cook less... Why should you? If you can order in, buy microwave- meal or deep-freeze food.
We walk less... Why should you walk if you can uber your way around, take the subway, the bus or your car.
No wonder people get sick & obese at an early age. Let´s change that & Let's get healthy, remember every change starts with you!

Let´s get healthy

Physical health starts on the inside, nowadays a lot of people may look healthy & beautiful on the outside but they are rotting on the inside. My best advice to you is, start with your inner-health first.

Start walking at least 30 minutes a day, if you have 2 properly working legs, use them! Don´t take them for granted. Walking has lots of benefits for your health, just by walking everyday you will improve your health so much.

Walking is good for your;

• Blood circulation
• Lungs
• Heart
• Muscle & Bones
• Cholesterol
• Weight
• Memory

And so much more. Just do yourself, especially your health, a big favor and start walking.

Drink water, we all know that drinking water is good for our body and our health, but we're still looking elsewhere for what´s healthy. Just go 'back to basic' and drink some water,

it comes with a lot of benefits such as getting rid of toxins out of your body,  you get better skin, your kidney's will be grateful, and much more.

Eat Healthy, by eating healthy also means less takeaway & microwave meals. Start by preparing and cooking your own meals and do this the healthy way, don't eat fried food every day.
Eat more fruits & vegetables, educate yourself on what is healthy for your body and what's not.

Sleep well, make sure you have a good night sleep. Sleep is important for you to have energy during the day, you'll concentrate better, be less irritated & more. Make sure you get enough sleep.

I can go on and on, on what you can do to become healthier, but you already know what YOU need to do for yourself to get there. Maybe you need to work on your mental health first before you can even start thinking about your physical health, if that's the case... DO IT!!

All I want to say is, that you need to do everything you can do to love & value yourself, so you can do the same for others.

Let's Get Motivated

It's time to get motivated! Life is passing you by and maybe you didn't achieved anything you set out to do at the beginning of this year. Do you even remember where you left your 'goal list'.
If you still have your list, I want you to read it and see if you have achieved any of your goals written on your list. If not, don't worry, you are still alive and that's great, because it means you can start today by achieving any of your goals.
If you have achieved your goals or at least some of it, maybe this article can give you a little boost  by being a little bit more motivated.


With anything you want to start in life, you first have to be motivated to take the first steps.
For a lot of people, me included, it can be hard to motivate yourself and start doing the things that needs to be done, in order to get where you want to be in life.
Once you see days, months & years passing by and you're stuck in one place, it's time to change.  The first thing that needs to change is YOU, So.....

LET'S GET MOTIVATED

You are the change

First of, know that change lies in YOU, this is really important. You have to know & realize that it's YOU that needs to change, everything you want in life YOU have to really want it to make the sacrifices you need to take to get there. Once you make a choice to change and take the steps to get there, you already made the first and most important decision, from now on you'll see a lot of changes  happen in your life if you stick to your decision to change.

Feed Your Mind 

Now that we've got the first step out of the way let's start by feeding your mind with motivational speeches. It's important to switch your mindset into the right direction &  have a clear mind on what you want. Everything starts in your mind, if you can think it you can achieve it and this is so true.
Listen to motivational video's of different speakers such as Les Brow, Eric Thomas, Jim Rohn and many more. Click Here to see a motivational video.

Read books, by reading books you will expand your knowledge and your vision in your life. Reading on other people their success story will give you a different take on your own vision to success and it let you know that it's possible. Many of us start in a position that looks impossible to get where you want to be, but by reading and seeing other people that started in the same position as you or even worse, you realize that maybe your dream isn't that far fetched as you thought it would be.

Time For Self

You have to have a routine either in the morning or at night, where you take some time for yourself, in this space of time, you will do things for yourself that will keep your mind clear, so you can be motivated to progress towards your goals. You can read a book or a Bible, maybe you will use this time to pray, or to write in your journal. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as it is something that you love to do and you feel completely relaxed.

Plan Your Days 

It's all fun to have some motivation but you need to turn it into action to get something out of it.

So it's time to plan your days, the best time to do this is the night before, write out the things that needs to be done for the following day & try to stick to it. Don't get discourage if you don't accomplish everything you wrote down to do, the more you do it, the more it will become like second nature and you will accomplish more on a daily. This alone will get you more motivated and that's exactly what we need...More motivation!
