What is your Healthstyle?
There are as many ways to improve your health as there are reasons to do so. With a multitude of options available for adopting healthy ways of eating, exercising and relaxing, it can be tough to decide. So, when it comes to creating your very own formula for healthy living as a lifestyle, I believe your style and personality should be taken into consideration. Just as your clothing wardrobe is a carefully curated collection of items that reflect your style, I believe the habits and choices you engage in to improve your health should be a reflection of your style as well.
What I am talking about is healthstyle.
It’s is a new buzz word within the health and wellness industry that describes the cultivation of personally enjoyable behaviors that support a healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet and exercise are important to a lifestyle of health, but so are many other really wonderful things as well. The process of discovering your personal healthstyle by identifying your likes and preferences is what I call Building a Wellness Wardrobe. Imagine adding specific healthy habits to your wellness wardrobe just as you would add clothing pieces to your clothing wardrobe.
As is the case with a great clothing wardrobe, a wellness wardrobe is filled with variety. The options for healthstyle behaviors are limitless, yet many components are essential. I’ve created 6 healthStyle Staples that each represent the "essential" components of every wellness wardrobe. They include physical fitness, healthy food selections, mental well-being, wellness care, bliss and health infused daily living. The following describes exactly what you should include in your wellness wardrobe.
fitStyle
Do you prefer exercising alone or alongside a group of friends? Do you enjoy the gym or working out in nature? Answers to these questions and others like them are just the starting point to finding your fitStyle.
foodStyle
The food you eat has the power to transform your life for better or worse. Transformation for the better begins with fresh, healthy, feel-good foods. The options are boundless, yet no matter which approach you choose, make sure that it reflects your foodStyle. Eating according to your foodStyle means selecting foods that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
wellStyle
Managing your health and wellbeing as it relates to the care you seek is personal and important. It encompasses your preferences for a specialized team of providers who address the health concerns most important to you. The care we seek is important and it should be suited to your personal style.
blissStyle
There are a multitude of ways to care for and nourish your mind and body which promote health and happiness. Whether it is an aromatherapy bubble bath to boost your mood, a timed laughing session to lift your spirits, a spa facial for improved skin health and relaxation, or slathering your entire body with the finest organic body products, each has its place in a healthy way of living.
mindStyle
Getting a handle on what nurtures and fuels you mentally is beneficial and at the core of mindStyle. Many of life’s daily demands can challenge even the soundest of minds. Discover your mindStyle and determine the strategies that best assist you in giving your mind a rest and refreshing so that you’re better able to face the day. Positive self-talk, affirmations, Sudoku, prayer, meditation, yoga?
livingStyle
Your home, your relationships and the precious use of your time all contribute to your health in a major way. Cultivating your livingStyle within every environment may be just the breakthrough you need for flourishing health. The manner in which your home, friends and free time move you toward health is reflected in your livingStyle.
