STEPS TO OVERCOME THE MAJOR OBSTACLES OF STAYING HEALTHY PART 2

Very happy day to all of my readers and visitors.




To access to the first part of this article, please click at the title above.




In this article, I shall discuss on other major obstacles that prevent you from staying healthy.




3. DISCOURAGEMENT


Similarly, you must have the right perspective and faith to overcome this obstacle. Otherwise you will not have the courage to take action. Just imagine the time when you started to learn how to walk. If you were discouraged by the number of times you fell, then you will never be able to walk till now. No doubt, if you miss the target initially, then you have to learn to adjust and plan your next action. As such, you must clear the distinction between a mistake and a miss.


To encourage yourself to give it a try, you should declare the result a miss rather than a mistake. However if you classify anything that does not go as planned or anything that misses the target as a mistake rather than a miss, then you are going to be very discouraged. I am sure that you will agree with me that the former will encourage you to give it a try, but not the latter. The latter will be holding you back from staying healthy. Therefore to stay healthy, you must have the courage to take appropriate and continual action and these positive actions will maintain your health despite any physical, .mental or spiritual changes.


4. PROBLEM


We must acknowledge that everyone has problems be it serious or minor. By having faith and the right perspective, we can distinguish problems from predicaments.


To live healthy, you must take appropriate action towards controllable factors, and not non-controllable factors. Otherwise, you will be frustrated and angered by their outcomes. Worse still, it will not only tax you unnecessary but also waste your resources and energy. You could otherwise channel them for other more meaningful and beneficial activities. Therefore, it is imperative to place the right focus on major and significant issue to find its solution. There is a saying that every problem besieges an opportunity.


Staying healthy is a problem to most people, if not everyone .Therefore you need to take action to solve it. Inaction will definitely deteriorate your health. . To stay healthy, you must open up all possibilities and take the appropriate action to address the issue you are currently facing, be it physical, mental or spiritual. It must begin with that acknowledgment; followed by action to overcome the problem. Your belief and action will tell you that it is solvable. What you need to do is to seek for a solution. Sneak out your neck, like the turtle and start moving toward a healthy life.


Treat it as a miss if you did not achieve your pre-set target. Review your result together with your action, learn from it and modify your next action. This is the way you should start working towards your healthy lifestyle. You will be assured of its result. Health is wealth, therefore it is worth your effort to stay healthy.


5. CHANGE


Before I proceed further, we need also to acknowledge the fact that to progress is to make changes. Otherwise, you shall remain status quo. You cannot have progress and remain unchanged. That is the truth. Change is unavoidable. As a result we also need to make changes so as to make adequate progress to stay healthy. Otherwise, the dream of staying healthy is just a wish.


To stay healthy, we need to take pro-active action to make the adequate progress to compensate for the physical deterioration due to aging and other adverse factors. But do not get me wrong to say that aging will bring deterioration to you. It depends on the individual and how effectiveness he maintains his health.


To make the changes, it will cost you something, Otherwise there is not any real change. Similarly, it is also true that without any real change, there will not be any growth, so to speak..So, to stay healthy, there must be real growth either physically, mentally or spiritually. In other words, there must be real growth when you sum up the changes in all these aspects that have taken place.


Ironically, people refuse to change but want improvement at the same time. That is the main reason why staying healthy can only become a wish to most people. Inappropriate or unbalanced action taken to address each and every aspect of individual life is also another main contributor to this fact.


6. COMPLACENCY


Most of the time, people feel comfortable when they achieve a small incremental improvement, and not steep improvement. However, the rapidly changing world is demanding more than the people can deliver. Hence it has created unnecessary competition,stress and challenges which have serious impact on our health and happiness.


As such, improvement / advancement in all areas is very much sought after by any individual, who does not hold himself complacent with his status quo but at the same time continue to stay healthy. By doing so, he will not to pursue the highest level of health and not compromise anything less.


In today's complicated and competitive world, we are asserting ourselves to handle a formidable amount of stress. In real life, we cannot run away frustration, disappointment, anger or other adverse emotions. Hence, we need to make changes so that we can cope well, if not better, with this stressful environment.


Therefore, adequate or appropriate measures/actions need to be taken to address this aspect.


7. LACK OF ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE


To stay healthy is a process. Therefore, it needs to be continuous reviewed to determine whether the problem you are working on in is the the right and appropriate one. You have to set your priority right, act and think strategically, review and act promptly, learn and grow. In this manner, you will then be able to maintain the wellness of your health.


Never be tempted to take short cut solution.


I know it is easier said than done. Here, you need lots of practice, positive attitude and a strong mind set to avoid such temptations. In this connection, you need to use your inner peace, which surpasses all understanding to guard your heart and mind. Otherwise, you will be fighting in vain.


Here, it shows that you need appropriate and adequate knowledge to maintain the wellness of your heart. Therefore, having the right knowledge is a must. Learning is a long process that is constantly changing and updating. Appropriate time is also needed to keep abreast of the latest development in areas relating to the wellness of health.


Thanks for your time and looking forward to seeing you again. So stay tune and realign your focus appropriately to the significant and material issue so as to stay healthy. HEALTH IS WEALTH.


Wishing you health and happiness.
