You're Healthier in 4 Minutes
McNeill, Debbie
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v8 n3 p45-50 2016
Traditionally, the image of how people should look is in the process of changing. People are changing their views of what is healthy. Ideas are changing about what "healthy" looks like and are incorporating technology to manage health goals. The author makes it a point to maintain healthy food choices and healthy activities that will benefit her. From the yoga, biking, running, and swimming she tends to be less stressed and more relaxed after stretching, peddling, striding, and stroking those annoying stressors that tense overall well-being. The daily routine of health feeds her other areas of emotional, physical, social, and intellectual well-being through the de-stressing of what she can manage. Maintaining her health without all those media images of what health should look like provides me with the mindfulness to be aware of what health is to her. Fueling the body with diets of false health values or using over-the-counter medication is not for me. She values critical thinking and reflective learning to be more aware of the here and now mindfulness that fulfills the four areas of my healthy well-being. Recognizing stressors before they encumber her has been far more effective and manageable to activate a combination of exercise and healthy food choices that work for her. It is her personal commitment to maintain her health with less stress for a lifelong well-being of health.
