Exceptional Wellbeing


“Exceptional Wellbeing”
The way to live an Extraordinary Life
Are we actually getting healthier or just jumping from one bandwagon to another, product after product – trying every new concept under the sun. Under the guise of getting healthier being trapped into the rut set up by Industry that’s capitalising on the concept of wellness

 

If you truly want to do something to live a healthier life and adopt the true principles of Wellness you need to follow a simple pattern to a new you – a reformed, healthy and whole new you

 

Define Wellness – what does it mean to you?
 
 

Very often people think wellness is a trendy concept. The truth is Wellness is a way of life, a state of mind that enhances every aspect of your life making you a better person, a healthier person and a truly evolved being.

 

Our forefathers lived naturally healthy lives and lived simpler hence they had less stress and fewer ailments. There were no lifestyle diseases three generations before us, most diseases were either genetic or ones that developed due to direct impact of our environment. Being overweight was a direct result of prosperity; obesity wasn’t an epidemic because people were active and ate as per need not greed.

 
Sometimes to appreciate something good we need to experience the other end of the spectrum.
 

Today we are surrounded with lifestyle diseases – Obesity, Diabetes, PCOS, Hormonal Imbalances,  Cancer, Heart Disease to name a few. All because of a poor lifestyle – poor in quality brought on by a life of abundance and convenience.

 

“Wellness” as a concept was recently revived as a forgotten way of life to actually take us back to a truer version of our selves – progress has made us take many steps forward but in doing so hasn’t taken all the good in our way of life forward with us. It lies forgotten.

 

We as Indians have been blessed with Secrets that have passed on through the ages, making us the most learned in the space of Wellness, the world over people are reviving our ways of life and we know no appreciation for what we have inherited.

 

Basically in a nutshell Wellness is like the roots of a tree, each branch of the root is an aspect to the art of living well, the tree is your whole being – a product of all the good nourishment through the roots which will provide healthy branches to the tree that are various aspects of yourself and what you do to add value to your life and that of others.

 

Define your purpose in life, enhance your spiritual being
 
 

Finding your own path is critical to living a wholesome life one steeped in wellbeing and to do that you simply need to look at the various parts that make you the person you are and nourish those parts accordingly, make your roots strong and healthy.

 

I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a professional, a healer, a social worker, a businesswoman and very importantly a PROUD WOMAN.

 

These are the various aspects to who I am and to live a wholesome life I must enhance all these parts of me and nourish them well. I am the above because I love every role I play and I want to add value to the lives I touch with every role I play.

 

So my path is to live well, have solid relationships, love well, be well loved. To do all that by being a good person, secure in my space, and open to securing others in theirs.

This is my journey, my path, my purpose.

 

Everyone needs to find a purpose to life or else you live with no priorities or all the wrong ones.

 

The next step to weathering your path well is to nourish all aspects of your personality and aspects of who you are.

 

You need to nourish your soul and be a better spiritual being to be centred and know how to handle the many journeys you take. Choose something that centres you spiritually, this choice only you can make but start this journey by making this your first step.

 

Grow your spiritual being that will make you strong in your relationships as you understand how to nurture or set aside positive and negative people and influences in your life. You become very in tune with feelings and know what to hold onto and what to set aside.

 

“A nourished soul is a nourished body”
 


 

 
All excesses and greed leave you the minute you eat and feed yourself governed by a strong spiritual guide. If you are spiritually strong you are never prone to gluttony and greed. You will enjoy all foods – eat lovingly and mindfully.

 

The occasional indulgence if ever will pass by with you looking at it with love as a small hiccup and not a guilt ridden ill -treating of your body there on. We forgive ourselves like a loving parent and set off on our journey again because we know we are loved and secure in our love for ourselves.

 

When you are centred you will look at a vast array of food and feel disturbed because greed doesn’t motivate you, you look for the simplest and by default that is the tastiest option, you look at your meal with love and you nourish yourself with love.

 

You realise your so called love for food, is a deflection of the fact that somewhere deep down you can’t love yourself. If you love yourself deeply you view food as a source of nourishment but not a sport or indulgence for pleasure alone.

 

I am not saying don’t eat tasty food or you need to live a frugal life all I say is that when you know “what you are eating for” and you love yourself deeply you will eat everything in just the right amount.

 

I always taste, savour and never overindulge that’s my secret. But I don’t wake up every morning reminding and reaffirming that to myself it comes to me naturally because I view food the right way. It’s not my means to deal with extreme emotion but simply “just food”

 

View exercise not as a narcissistic means to build a perfect body but as a way to expend energy, improve your mobility, flexibility and be active. Automatically you will have the best body for you. One you will love and respect.

 

Adopt practices that are sustainable and always let your spirit guide you in your choices.

You find you will live a life that’s with purpose and meaning, and your body is a reflection of that, your relationships will be a true reflection of who you are and that truly is “Exceptional Wellbeing”

 

“A life well lived, is a person Well Loved”
