Everyone wants to be healthy and happy. While focusing on a healthy lifestyle by exercising and eating right is great for your body, balanced living means protecting your mental and emotional health too. And stress reduction needs to be at the top of your to-do list.
Balanced Living: Making a promise
Balanced living means considering all aspects of your life: relationships, work, fitness and health, and emotional well-being.
We all get troubled with work and family responsibilities from time to time, but making time for yourself is necessary. All batteries get run-down, even yours. So recharge (补充能量) your body physically and mentally and make a promise to enjoy some "your time" every day.
Balanced Living; Boosting (促进) Happiness and Creativity
Being happy gives you a better outlook on life, so you re more prepared to deal with your tasks. If not, you cannot enjoy life and can have a bad impact on your health. Make time to take care of yourself and be creative about the things you enjoy to help with stress reduction.
Balanced Living; Enjoying Exercise for Good Health
Exercise isn't something you should force yourself to do, or you won't be likely to stick with. Do something that you like and look forward to doing, instead of another that you do not like.
Balanced Living: Making Time to Eat Right
The right diet will keep your body healthy, give you energy and boost your spirits. Healthy food can be delicious, and it's fun learning new recipes (菜谱) and healthy combinations. Also, healthy cooking doesn't have to be time—consuming (费时的).
