Heart centered, Healthy lifestyle.

Our daily thoughts create our experience and the vibration we are sending out to the Universe.  With the simple control of the creation of our feelings to be from our heart center, the results are both profound and rewarding. 

Here is a simple tip on how to create a healthy lifestyle: Heart Centered Choice.

Only you can do this and no one will do it for you.  Be you and make that choice!!!

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!

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?

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!

Social Health - Interactions with others gets hairy....

Our social health (25% of the complete total) use to have a simple definition, well the definition hasn’t hanged, but the diversity of mediums in which humans can communicate has.  How do you interact with others?  Are you shy, aggressive, friendly, cold shouldered?  Well, is that how you interact in person, you know old school style face to face?  Or is it a different way when you are in avatar mode and using a secret identity in a chat room via the world wide web?

The crazy thing is, 15 years ago most of these communication forms were non existent.  Who was back in the mid-90s saying I’ll text you when I get there or we’ll skype a workout together next week?  The term exponential comes to mind in the progress made in the numerous forms of communication and with that said comes great responsibility by the users. 

Now that we all seem to be more connected, I feel the further is from the truth, we are more disconnected from being ourselves. An example from an experience is  I look around at a youth soccer game, with excitement & magic taking place right in front of us on the field, but most of the adults are looking down.  We know what they are looking at, its in there hands silly!

A person’s social health can thrive by being in the moment, aware and absorbing your surroundings.  The sign of a good listener is body language and eye contact, not to mention actually responding to statements and adding in questions.  All to often I find myself in both public and private situation where those around me are interacting with others who are not there.  I personally don’t feel left out, but I do wonder if that person is demonstrating good social health......
