Living a Healthy Lifestyle

Leading a physically and mentally well-balanced existence is the ideal way to live a healthy lifestyle. This is, of course, easier said than done, and there are a great many other things involved. The way you think, what you eat, where you work, where you live, what you do, what your financial situation is, who you know, and

so on. You need a certain amount of self-discipline and self-motivation to maintain a sensible daily rhythm. You need to discover what works for you and what doesn't. You need to accept that certain things are beyond your control and there is little point in knocking yourself out about them. You need to understand that leading a healthy life-style is a continual and life-long process. You're never going to reach a point where you can think, oh, it's all okay now,  unless you're dead and gone, that is. Life is a chain of continued efforts, an ongoing process. Think of yourself as a work of art in progress.

Here are a few healthy living tips. They work for me. Maybe they will work for you. You should always find your own path to living the healthy lifestyle.

1. Everything should be done in moderation - eating, working, resting, playing, maintaining hobbies, socializing, and so on.

2. You should take stock of how you spend your day, so you can reschedule your time, concentrate on important chores, cut down on the inconsequential, and thereby suffer less stress.

3. Don't take on more work or personal responsibilities than you can realistically handle.

4. Do what you love. The money will usually follow.

5. Try to be less materialistic and keep your life simple. It is really unnecessary to keep up. Why buy a car if you can avail of public transport? Why own a cell-phone when you don't really need one? Why beat yourself up trying to upgrade to the latest software when the old one serves you just fine?
