The road to healthy living can be a long and winding one. My own journey has had many ups and downs to get to where I am now. Life has a way of putting obstacles in our path; challenges that we must overcome or deal with before reaching our own personal goal. This is what life is all about; goals, day to day challenges and the constant quest for happiness. Being happy is very important but happiness does not only come at the accomplishment of monumental goals. Happiness should be in the here and now. Easy to say, right? Everyone struggles with what makes them happy; but it really comes down to the little things. Feeling good should make you happy.
Do you feel good? Setting out on the road to live a healthy life is just the beginning. There will be naysayers along the way; people who think that your dedication to yourself is foolish. Many people who have not yet stepped onto the healthy living path may be the ones who are negative about your journey. Just smile and keep on your path; your goal is your own, no one else's. Each and every person has a life path in front of them; which road they take is entirely a personal choice. As we make our way down the pathway of life there will be twists and turns; obstacles that stand in our way and challenge us. Easy and difficult decisions will need to be made as you forge ahead. Give up or continue?
Your journey is all about you. Taking care of you is important. Without taking care of you; you cannot take care of others. Eating well and exercising allows you to do things that you want to do. You do not want to be that person who can't. If you can't then you are missing out on your personal journey. It is like a giant boulder has been set in your pathway that needs to be either blasted or pushed off to clear your way. Sometimes that first step onto a different path may seem like a huge one. The concept can be monumental but the step is just one small step in the right direction.
Yesterday I was given a question as to what is more important; eating healthy or working out? I believe that it is healthy eating. If we do not fuel our body properly; then we cannot expect our body to perform for us. The culmination of the two is when we truly set out to live a healthy lifestyle. Throughout our journey there will be many distractions, intermissions and changes. What path you follow is all up to you; are you on the pathway to healthy living?
