3 Things you Must do to Change Your Life

Have you ever heard of the Good Health Triangle?  If you haven’t, it is about time you did!  The Good Health Triangle provides 3 areas we must concentrate on in order to be healthy and happy.  Poor health plagues our society and robs us of our ability to live life to its fullest.  Thus developing healthy habits now around the three points in the Health Triangle is critical to our overall success and happiness in life.

The 3 points in the Health Triangle are as follows.

#1 Eating Right

I have an 8 month old in my house and as I was feeding my son the other day, I noticed the stark contrast between our diets.  As I was filling his tummy with squash and carrots (which he seemed to love by the way), I felt a little nauseated from the cheeseburger and fries I had just consumed.  I realized at that moment that when we are very young we generally eat healthy however when we grow older, we seem to become conditioned to not eat so well.  My son was proof to me that day that we can eat right and even be happy doing it.  Eating good, wholesome food is a great start to being healthy and changing our life. 

#2 Physical Activity

The next point in the Good Health Triangle is regular physical activity.  I know this may sound annoying to some but there is no denying that exercising regularly improves our self-esteem, confidence, and outlook on life.  When we participate in physical exercise our body actually releases endorphins that help us to feel good and gives us energy.  If we can find a way to exercise 30 minutes at least 6 days a week, we will find ourselves to be much more satisfied in life.

#3 Sleep

The final point in the Good Health Triangle is getting good sleep.  On average, experts say we should strive to get around 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.  And if possible, we should strive to retire to our beds early and arise early in the morning.  I believe much of our society has developed very poor sleeping habits.  This sad because bad sleeping habits leads to higher levels of stress and anxiety.  As we strive to develop good sleeping habits, we will be happier and we will literally change our life. 

Eating healthy, physical activity, and good sleep habits make up the three points of the Good Health Triangle.   2014 is upon us and it is time to change our lives and ensure we have a great year.  Let’s make commitments to live a healthier and thus happier life.  I promise that doing these 3 things will change your life.
