ALL the parts of Health is WELLNESS.

Having WELLNESS is the balance of ALL 4 PARTS of HEALTH.  I will define each for a traditional wording, but in reality its all about applying these concepts as they directly effect what you do and how you FEEL each and every day.  If just one part is off balance, the others will suffer too as they are all interwoven together to create how you truly feel.  During the day, week or month we focus on just the physical aspect if we are healthy, as our education system and society in general place more of an emphasis here.  Unfortunately this creates a disconnect of where our attention could be placed.

Here is a simple Health Class 101 Definition of the 4 PARTS OF HEALTH:

1.  Mental Health -  continued growth and learning to deal with new challenges effectively.  Here is an example of poor mental health:  We know to use the seat belt, but don’t 100% of the time. 


2.  Social Health - ability to interact successfully with people within one’s personal environment.  This includes tolerance for those with different opinions and beliefs.

3.  Emotional Health - ability to control stress and express emotions appropriately and comfortably.  To experience life’s ups and down with grace and enthusiasm.

4.  Physical Health -( Specific Breakdown of Physical Health ) - ability to carry out daily tasks, develop cardio, flexibility, muscular strength & endurance, eat adequate nutrition, personal hygiene, and preventative medical care

 Do what you can, enhance what you are already doing, give a little more focus on an area that requires some work.  Working on you is NOT easy.  Getting support and education to create a healthy lifestyle can be challenging @ first, but small simple enhancements can start that snow ball effect to a healthier you!

Daily Routine Questions.

This is an interactive post so get ready to participate!  That's right, happy Monday AM, so tell me a little about yours.....

 Here are a few questions to start the discussion on the topic of AM routine...what do you do in the AM for you?  I know we all have adult responsibilities (this isn't the point), but most likely we have constructed specific practices/habits that we do in the AM.  Some we think are good for us and some that we know are not?


1.  What to you do in the AM that you are proud of because it is health enhancing?

2.  What do you do in the AM that counters your image of health?

3.  Do you prepare anything the night before to support your AM routine? What?

4.  Are you happy with what you do in the AM?

5.  If you could get support on something in the AM, what would it be and why?

By taking a few minutes to write down an answer or two could be a momentum force in a lot of ways.  Feel free to post in the discussion your questions or email me directly (wellnesshero@gmail.com), but either way you are contributing to a better you by participation and taking action.  No answer is judge, its simply an interaction to get the ball rolling....

You have the ball, are you playing?  Happy Monday and SMILE :)

Shifting to something better, PART I

PART I:  Shifting to something better....                      10.30.13

My passion is to guide you to live well by supporting  wellness daily which balances the 4 parts of Health (see blog post on this topic for details).  Shifting a person’s paradigm of what is Healthy requires the TRUTH to be accepted and practiced by what is healthy....the answers are out there, but most likely NOT what you currently believe on a whole (your paradigm).  Bits & pieces of healthy action is just that, only a small part.  Thriving in life, well it moves the game onto a new playing field because when a person’s health is OPTIMAL, life is no longer the same........Do you believe you have the power to NEVER get sick again?  Everything starts with a belief on what we think is TRUE.......
                   
As I continue to channel health & wellness content to all those interested, a shift from my approach in being applied.  Since uncovering new information always and when applying it the results have been very supportive.  The shift is in the direction of training yourself to live within your abilities and capabilities, just remember, no matter who you are, attitude is everything!!!  I look at everyday as we are training for life, are you practicing quality sleep, eating nutrition dense meals daily, moving that body optimally each day with in the 5 components of health related fitness?  Life is practice, each day is another opportunity to do what we want with our individual choices.  Thriving takes years of practice, each action is a drop in the bucket, always be striving to add just one simple drop as that is the key to making a difference in your dynamic HEALTH. 

The mission for me is to be the best daddy & HUMAN I can by choosing to share my life experience with others to learn from as well.  This BLOG is one medium to which I communicate.    This experience just so happens to be a way of life that supports being a thriving human.  I still will be blogging/vlogging (Wellness Hero's YouTube Channel Link) about health & wellness, but more so directed to ANY HEALTH concept.   Some information may seem new or confusing to incorporate, but the more quality experiences gained with family, not to just spend time, but to teach basic fundamental principles of exercise, nutrition, and basically WELLNESS into day to day occurrences is a shift into the priority that health is something we have to do.  Some concepts y’all maybe familiar with like in the previous sentence (exercising & eating), but some maybe things that you never considered to be healthy or unhealthy.

ASK ME Questions Publicly or Privately, but know others maybe to timid or feel they don’t have the time to actually ask.  Be the change you want to be by taking ACTION & Participating in your life in a way you didn’t yesterday.  You have the POWER in choice, just do something new for 5 min. and know those 5 min. were 5 more then the previous 5 days and that is a monumental change because 5 is way bigger then ZERO....

The Self Discovery that changed the world forever.

How about taking care of you?

Wellness is comprised of equal balance (25% each for those math peps) of:
            1. Mental
            2. Emotional
            3. Social
            4. Physical

HEALTH.  Each of these dimensions is intertwine to the other, so even if one is in a negative balance then the other three are directly impacted as well.

Each moment of everyday we are practice each of these components whether that person is conscious of it or not.  Understand that not practicing something is actually a choice to not to work on the habits that comprise what we do over the course of the day.

A person has thousands of habits, but really likes to embrace those that make us feel good (Emotional Health).  I feel great in so many situations, but that took tremendous amount of actual work on my Mental side of Wellness.  Thinking about thoughts is some DEEP campfire kind of stuff!

The point of all is this is their is more to our daily experiences that WE has people have FULL CONTROL of.  I like to say excuses are like assholes, everyone has them and they stink....Be who you want, make choices that allow you to spread JOY to all those around you.  When a person practices any aspect of wellness SMILING is much easier :)

Carpe Diem & Nameste!

Smiling is AWESOME, have you tried it?

Daily Healthy Life                    8.28.13

As I continue to channel health & wellness content to all those interested, a shift from my approach is being applied.  I look at everyday as we are training for life, are you practicing quality sleep, nutrition dense eating patterns, moving that body optimally each day?  Life is practice, each day is another opportunity to do what we want with our individual choices. 

The mission is to be the best single daddy I can by choosing to share my life experience with my son.  This experience just so happens to be teach basic fundamental principles of mental, social, emotional health with the physical like exercise, nutrition, and basically WELLNESS into day to day occurrences. 

Living life each day is a gift, but with adult responsibilities, sometimes we get distracted from what truly is important in life.  Smile NOW!   I find my family and health are most vital to my experience on EARTH and my smile correlates with how I feel.  I want to smile, I choose to smile, my smile is supported by daily choices that allow my body to thrive.  Everyone wants happiness and no one wants to suffer.  How can we choose happiness?

My intention is to guide others with activities, ideas, and openness to thinking differently about who you are and what you do.  How can you be happy?  We can all shift our minds to new experiences and create the happiness we want to see and be. 

How many parents out there want to do more, but feel a bit overwhelmed to do so?  Let me support you and be your guide while you support me by subscribing to my blog & youtube channel.  I have been developing many health and wellness concepts to be applied into a simpler approach that can allow YOU to smile :) everyday! No topic is off limits and all questions and comments welcomed!

Children and outside time, how to make it happen in fall....

An after school gathering with influencing your health on a cool, sunny, fall afternoon. What is possible?

10.11.12

Directly after work/school we had many options for being outside and after narrowing it down to two, it was between riding bikes together or hiking for some quality leaf collecting (we are pressing the leaves this weekend with a art project for Grandma’s B-day :).

Tryon Park in Rochester, NY was the chosen ground and it was a beautiful afternoon.  The beautiful foliage is just around peak and the colors dance against the blue sky.  We set off with running & jumping in the “soup bowl” of trails that are shared by both mountain bikers (which are cool to see with a 4 year young) & hikers alike.  We have stomped the ground on these trails several times before and they yield some great up and down elevation gains. 
 

The exploring of the woods can be a very rewarding experience.  Good habits to keep in mind are stopping to listen to all the fall noises & watching in silence as the leaves dance through the air and allow gravity to bring them to Earth.  Fallen trees are unique opportunities as well.  The lessons that can be simply added to a conversation or just asking the little one questions to engage in the moment.  Being on the trail, surround by nature changes the way one can think, just by being in a different environment.  Mindfulness of being more aware plays huge dividends on your mental health.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Many mixed colors and shapes filled my pockets as we crunched many leaves under our feet.  We explored tire and animal tracks while very much loved kicking the fallen leafs covering the trail at times.  After an hour the sun was low in the fall sky and times to head off to witness the sunset, this is a high energy point and is best shared with someone.....Cobbs Hill Park, Rochester, NY provides a spectacular view.......

Mental Health Awareness.

                    2.25.12
A healthy mind, a healthy body.

Mental Health is internal and starts with an attitude to be happy, because really who decides if they smile or not?  A brains reaction (s) to outcomes of our choices are all about how our mental state decides it is going to be.  So if you do want to have a better experience you have to make a different choice?  Think about it.....yeah I’m happy only if I want to be (no one else decides that for me) and can’t we all make new choices day to day?  Are we really in control of our habits & decisions...

My experience is about being in the know and now (present moment).  Continuing forward with improved choices for even better outcomes is possible.  It is a new day so people make simple, small changes that vibe with our daily habits, but allow a more positive balance to exist by being aware of what that decision may be.  Mental health is about accepting and understanding new ideas and concepts.  With knowing that it is an individual choice to be proactive and take your smile to the masses and see how just that simple choice of always smiling changes everything about a better continuation during the present moment. 

So go ahead and just do it, smile for the next, well you decide how long you want to be happy for.  Hey, I’m not going to put a gun to your head to make you smile.....:-)

Balance your life with practicing how you think.  An open mind can only exist with the ability for a person to be able to change the way they actual think; think about it, it really the brain thinking about the brain, but applying a new way of making choices, but it is for different outcomes, ones that make us happier :~)

How to help you reach your goal.

Tools for a personal goal.               Our Daily Habits & Choices                    2.17.12


Goal-Setting & implementation with follow through is a solid practice that can yield very positive results while developing a sense of accomplishment.

This practice is easier said then done, I have placed much intention behind living every day like it was my last & choosing happiness.  Ironically, I love being physically active & honing my 4 parts of health to thrive with a high quality of day to day life guide my choices.  What is their to do for the average joe who is out of practice for good personal decisions?  First, find out what you want to change, write it down, find support, and make it happen.  Remember everything can be changed from the way we walk to the way we think, the power is all in the daily choices we make.....

So what do you want to change?  Both SHORT & LONG term goals should be segregated.  The difference, well that is simple, time is the crucial element.  Both style of goals get written down, monitored, assessed, & then evaluated.  Support is in many cases needed for help.  I certainly am not who I am with out the help of so many friends, family, & acquaintances.  Be sure to gain the support of those around you, but first you have to put steps into place, like writing it down, doing research on your topic to full understand the process it will take, as well as the time. 

A goal is accomplished by adjusting our day to day decisions which in turn becomes our habits & routine.  Believe that you can do it & drive home the way you think.

Can your brain handle this simple concept?

Mental Toughness your guide to your brain...                2.7.12

Attitude is everything!  The one thing a person completely controls is the way they choose to think.  No matter where a person stands on Earth, they control their thoughts, truly an internalization of what we choose to think about...Also known as mental strength, well it makes up 25% of our health (Physical, Emotional, Social are the other 75%) and how a person feels daily.
Often the responsibility of a person’s actions is placed into the “blame” category for someone else, doing something to US!  I found this very typical with my high school students, but really adults do it as well, but in a more conviecing way to get others compassion on their side.   Well, no matter how others react around me, I have trained myself (yes, you can actually train yourself to think differently) to place ALL responsibility to my actions/reactions on my own shoulders.  I am free to think how I want!  So is everyone else too, but many don’t take advantage of the power of EVERYTHING.  Because really, who is in control of our bodies?  I tend to think the MIND is?......Who controls your brain again?  Yep, you do silly!
The jist is that I hear a tremendous amount of complaining about what has happened or what is happening by someone else. But when I listen closely to what “they” are saying, well it seems very clear that the main issue is the complainer has a “weak” brain.  I know that is a crazy concept, but quality mental health is the ability to adapt to a new concept, learn something new, or basically accept new habits.  Really, what is happening inside to the brain in these situations is it is rewiring itself, but we just say we are making new choices, have set a goal, or changing our old habits.  This all falls under Mental Health, how we think, then respond to what we are thinking through actions and body language. 
I’m not trying to solve a problem here, just make others more aware that they are direct result of their unhappiness/complaining/or situation.  Of course our environment will play a major role into how we think and even those around you directly impact thought, but then again we choose those choices too. 
The concept of taking FULL responsibility for how a person thinks is a simple concept, but much more challenging to manifest if you have bad habits of blaming someone else for the way YOU CHOOSE TO THINK...
