The Blissful Union of Wellness and Fitness
You pick up the magazines each day, and you're bombarded with
health and fitness information. Advertisements and articles that
are designed to impart much needed information to the reader
about the state of fitness and health in America today, and what
we as responsible citizens should do.
I want you to stop, and think for just one moment. How do you
determine your current fitness and wellness levels? Does your
regular doctor impart this information as you visit, does he
inquire each time you go if you believe yourself to be fit and
well? Probably not. Nor does he give you any method for
determining the status on your own. Fitness centers abound in
this country, and most are staffed with counselors who can test
your fitness level. What about your wellness level? Are they one
and the same? They are not one and the same, yet they rely
heavily on each other to keep you healthy.
Thanks to the advances in modern medicine, the average
person's life span now exceeds seventy years. If you stop to
think, that's quite a long time to walk around on this earth.
Along with the wonderful life expectancy increases, however have
come the detrimental effects of overeating and unhealthy eating.
It seems that as we advance in one area, we regress in others.
This doesn't have to be so, however. Reaching a place of
responsibility, where we combine our physical health, with our
wellness enhances those extra years of life.
Being fit and being well are totally different conditions. Your
wellness rating is dependent upon your immune system, and what
vitamins, supplements, and nutrition you provide for your immune
system. Fit people can sometimes be unwell. And well people can
sometimes be
unfit. However, when you do combine the two, and
use sound principles based on clean living, exercise, and
healthy eating, you attain a state of equilibrium where you are
both fit and well. It is comparable to the Chinese philosophy of
yin and yang. The balance that must exist in the whole relies
heavily on the balancing of the halves.
The wonderful state that is attained however, when we are both
fit and well, is one of the joys of being alive. The energy
levels that we experience are beyond compare, and the happiness
we feel during our moments of physical triumphs, help us to put
life in perspective. That's an accomplishment we pass along to
our children in the example that we set before them. We are true
practitioners of the philosophies that we preach.
The example we provide for our family, our children especially,
speaks volumes to them about their own responsibilities in
maintaining their health. Being healthy is a true combination of
wellness and fitness, body and mind. Our spirit, soul, or inner
voice is a benefactor in this experience, also.
Truly well and fit minds and bodies are better followers of
their spirit, and spend more energy on the wellness of their
spiritual aspect, also. Spirituality is a way of assuring
ourselves of a renewing, and rebirth of ourselves as caring
humans. Wellness encompasses our state of being, mind, and
health. It is a condition of the whole. The joining of wellness
and fitness in our life is a condition of the mind, body, and
soul.
