All too often, we think we are invincible. Our life may be going fine, and we just don’t stop and take note of what we are doing to our body and our mind. We push ourselves far too hard, and we rest far too little. We expect our body to continue and our mind to function without ever thinking about the long-term effects. Being healthy tends to be an afterthought in life, not the focus.

We have only got one body. We don’t get another one when we burn this one into the ground. When it is too late, it is too late, and we pass that point of no return. Rather than treating our mind and body this way, why don’t you make health your routine.

I’m not talking about eating a healthy salad once in awhile for dinner. I’m not talking about drinking diet soda or eating something that claims it is low-fat. Health is much more than this, and if we start to dive into it, we’ll begin to understand how it should become your routine.

So what can we do to help make health our routine? There are many things. While I am sharing a few here, this is not an exhaustive list.

  1. Get regular massages! If everyone got a massage as people should, there would be a shortage of massage therapists. Not only do they feel good, but they help balance the body and mind, reduce stress and pain, and help make life have a much better outlook
  2. Be aware of what you eat! Read the ingredients in what you purchase in the store. Make better decisions about the food you put in your body. Take a look at what you consume versus what is healthy for you and keep learning. Try some daily smoothies too!
  3. Get up and get moving! We sit far too much in an office or in jobs that are not active. When we come home, we sit in front of a computer or TV, but we just don’t stay as active as we should. Being active comes in all shapes and forms, and it does wonders for the mind and body.
  4. Drink plenty of water. At one time, I thought if I was drinking soda, I was getting needed liquids in me. Unfortunately, that is not the case because our body requires a lot of pure water. Water helps us function and operate efficiently in a day, including our brain!
  5. Give yourself downtime. We push our lives far too hard, and we think if we burn the candle at both ends, we are doing what is required. Instead, we’re just shaving years off of our life, and we are losing out on the enjoyment that we so deserve. Downtime refreshes and recharges us.

These are just five ways to be healthy. The list could go on and on forever. Regardless of what things help us be healthy, the key point is that we attempt each day to live a healthy life.
