If you are not striving to grow as a human being every day, you are consequently dying a little bit every day. Nature and our world within it, is constantly changing, evolving and moving forward. If we are not moving forward within this flow, we are not just stuck in place but rather falling behind.
Well then, Happy New Year!
Start a new traditional by stopping the usual New Year’s resolution shenanigans, which usually are seldom kept or maybe at best last a day, a week or maybe a month until they are revisited another year later.
The vicious cycle continues and often never changes, because there is no accountability to take care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. And often there is a loss of proper motivation – until the spark arrives. An illness, an injury, or an event that enlightens us to what is truly important. Then this spark motivates us to pursue better methods to maintain our mind, body and spiritual awareness.
How someone behaves when there is no audience or opportunity to gain, is more of a gauge of an individual’s moral compass. Changing one’s behavior when in the presence of family, friends and others can be somewhat manageable, and truly just a facade for many people. Do you really care about your health and well-being, and reflect this in your daily actions or just parrot the words of others encouraging “be healthy, stay safe”? No one should care more about your health and well-being than you, right?
Instead of another face value New Year’s Resolution, this year seriously consider making a REAL promise or commitment to yourself to improve or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat healthier, be more active, sleep better, be more positive than negative in your outlook – live a purposeful live without fear.
Tai chi, qigong, wellness classes and lectures might be options in your future. My classes offer a diverse knowledge base covering the following aspects:
- Anatomy and physiology
- Body mechanics
- Wellness concepts
- Learning concepts
- Stress management
- Chronic pain management
- Physical rehabilitation
- Functionally specific exercise sets
- Self-awareness
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Eastern philosophy
- Sound Therapy
- Various meditation methods
While it may seem selfish to put your own health and well-being first, it is actually the most giving of oneself to be a living vessel of love, compassion and knowledge to those around you, for as long as possible.
My understanding is that you can only give out, what you yourself have an abundance of.
