Being healthy is an active process

We see the spectrum of healthy vs unhealthy people. People who are fit and active vs people who are overweight and out of shape.

The difference between the two comes down to choice. Granted, that choice can be easier for some than for others. But being healthy isn’t easy and carefree.

While on the surface, it may seem like they maintain their health applies seamless and without ease, what you don’t see is the choices they make compared to an unhealthy individual.

It’s not as if they can’t hold themselves back from a salad and junk food has no allure. They made a choice and cultivated a life that focuses on health.

They’ve created meals that are healthy and palatable. Is it the most palatable? Probably not, but palatable enough for them to enjoy. They understand their taste buds and have crafted healthy meals accordingly.

Same with exercise. They are active because they found something enjoyable to them, either the activity itself or how they feel after to justify exercise. Just like anyone else, there are days when they don’t want to eat completely healthy or exercise. And maybe they do splurge, but on the average they keep within certain parameters to make sure they’re getting enough healthy food, exercise, and sleep. It’s not that it come naturally to them, But they’ve created the habits so it feels natural to them

While there is enjoyment in foods, there is also enjoyment in feeling healthy.

So choose actions that cultivate a healthy life and do it enough times, it’ll become a habit. Once it becomes a habit, it becomes almost effortless.

It’s like spinning a merry go round. It’s tough to get it spinning, but as it builds momentum, it gets easier and easier
