What a Healthy Lifestyle Should Look Like Within and Without

A healthy lifestyle is a holistic life consisting of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual contentment. When a person thinks about lifestyle, they might often refer to material belongings.

As if to say what is the style of my life possessions, the style of my car, clothes, and house. Far from that is the truth. The English dictionary will tell us that lifestyle means the way of life. In our depth, we should choose for this to not regard possessions but our state of being in having a life.

Society will however tell us otherwise with it being oh-so superficial and shallow. Society is the collective mind of humanity, especially all of humanity ever. So, what society says is.

The perverted intellect of society has us meditating on a lifestyle comprising the things that make up our life outwardly. However, we the people are the actual life that we possess. So, what is the way of life of you the individual life? Not what possessions do you have, but what possesses you?

Your Life is Within You

What is our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual stance in our individual life? These ways of being, how they are, and the condition they are in, are what constitutes our lifestyle. The combination of them is our life and their condition is our lifestyle.

So, for our lifestyle to be healthy this means we have mental health, emotional health, physical health and, spiritual health. Never (ever) should it do with material belongings.

Especially because, I am sure as humanity by now we are aware, whether viewing from the inside or outside, like reading online about a billionaire who took their own life, that material possessions cannot begin to mean sufficiency in overall health and joy and peace.

Among more serious instances, mental health is really our relationship with ourselves as we are the only one living in or with our mind. The tone we talk with to ourselves and the unfortunate negatively wired streams of thought from our upbringing are the first to have to go to transform our mental health.

Psychologists will tell us that in cognitive behavioural therapy, we think good we feel good, we think bad we feel bad. But from a spiritual (Christian) therapist, I was taught that we think bad because we feel bad and we think good because we feel good. Deeply rooted (negative) thought patterns begin with the self-beliefs in our upbringing that had strongly deep emotions attached to them and made the beliefs stick. And this started thinking patterns from the rooted deep emotions you felt (about yourself), which inspired and rooted specific trains of thought about yourself.

Renew Your Mind

It is therefore essential to uproot the negative trains of thought by processing our negative emotions to detach from their negative self-beliefs, in order that we feel new good emotions that can inspire good trains of thought.

We should know this and be aware of it, even as we continue in our old ways because there is power in knowing exactly what we are doing and the result of it, as that becomes the beginning of our healing and unwiring. It is only the Bible and Word of God that can renew our minds because it is only the Word of God that can teach us something other than what the world has taught us. Our identity can only be found in our Maker.

Overall Health

Physical health has of course been glorified by society, especially in it setting illusionary standards while those who fit them become happy and those who do not fit are ashamed, as they are literally shamed by society.

But really, our physical health and it having to do with exercise and eating green has more to do with it becoming our mental health rather than our physical shape or size, so much so that, our physical selves can actually be a manifestation of our mental health or lack of mental health.

We realise our mind (mental health) loves physical exertion (exercise) which makes it produce loving emissions which become a loving environment within us (emotional health).

These uncondemning wholesome reasons (emotional and mental health) result in the body repositioning itself in the continued uncondemning, loving environment.

Then there’s spiritual health, which is the one that even if we have mental, emotional, and physical health, if we are without it, we will not be wholesomely healthy.

As everything else exists in the physical realm and is admitted to being vital, our spiritual health is where we completely disconnect with that that is in the physical realm (mental and emotional from the physical brain) after establishing their health and connection in health, because we are spirits, we are not our emotions or thoughts or body.

That is, we become aware that we are spirits. Our is our emotional and mental self, and we have a body that we need as spirit beings. We understand as a house is built for people, our body is there for our human spirit.

That a house’s only purpose is to be a dwelling place for people, and so is our body for our spirit. Then we are living a life of depth and full of our actual presence, not surface-conditioned gimmicks. Then we are balanced, wholly healthy. Then we are living a healthy lifestyle. A lifestyle of wholesomeness.
