Are You Motivated for a Healthy Life Style?

You are accountable for your health and the quality of life. I hope most of you treasure each day and would value health over wealth in life.

I’d like to share a formula, which I learned it from a wise scientist –

Health = “1” and Wealth = numerous of “0”s after it, as $1,000,000,000……

In good health, you should be able to work and build your wealth without limit. However, without health, when the “1” is lost, then the numerous “0”s becomes worthless.

This formula is very simple and meaningful. Hope you are now motivated in enhancing healthy life style with best effort. Health knowledge and health behaviors are learned and nurtured. Don't take good health for granted; you may run out of luck.

Regardless what health condition or body shape you have now, today is a good time to start making changes for a better and healthier life.

Health starts with basics – food, water, and rest. Furthermore, well-being is a holistic integration of human psycho-social-physical health. When human’s physical needs are satisfied, quality social life and meaningful relationships further improve health with positive momentum. Gratitude, empathy, compassion, and willingness to help others will enhance your own well-being. 

Start a health diary on your calendar and keep tracking daily –

QLF score (the perfect score will be 10 points/day)

1 point                            A good night sleep (optimal 6 - 8 hours)
3 points(1 point for each meal) ) Eat healthy in balanced meals at 80% full, or keep calorie track on target
1 point                            Drink water and/or green tea; allow occasional alcoholic and other beverages
1 point                            No smoking
1 point                            Physical activities or work out for 30 minutes or more five days a week       
1 point                            Enjoy social connections or making trust building efforts
1 point                            Stress level self-rating is low or medium (no point for high)
1 point                            Feeling good and happy overall

Try to keep your score above 5 and continue to improve.  You will feel happy and energetic for days to come.

If you would like to keep fitness on track, technology can help.  A variety of wireless activity wristbands are available. These devises may feature tracking for workouts, heart rate, distance/floors, calories burned, active minutes and steps; monitor sleep/wake; and report daily tracking/statistics. Few sample products are suggested below. Whichever your preference may be, hoping it helps you achieve your fitness goals, whether training for Olympic Games, or just being reminded to get up and move during your favorite show time.

Keep in mind that behavior change takes time. Don’t give up. Reward yourself and be flexible. Celebrate each day’s accomplishments on your marathon life journey with self-confidence.
