Having a balanced lifestyle and prioritizing your well-being is often challenging in a fast-paced city like Lagos, Nigeria, and even more tasking when you combine that with mental and community demands and pressures.
“A Blissful Day of Low Stress, High Energy, and Optimal Health.”
The truth is that you are constantly bombarded with pressing commitments, endless drama and demands. Nevertheless, there are those rare days when everything seems to align perfectly, and your body responds with a remarkable sense of peace and energy.
I want to share lessons from my experience on Sunday, 4th June 2023. It was a day when my Welltory health tracker showed extraordinary well-being, marked by very low-stress levels, high energy, and a 100% healthy status.
A Morning of Serenity:
The day began with an early rise, allowing ample time for self-care and reflection. After waking up, I embraced a moment of calmness by praying and meditating briefly – this simple act of connecting spiritually provided a quiet foundation for the day ahead.
Feeling at peace, I embarked on a long walk (listening, meditating, and praying along the way), immersing myself in the beauty of nature or stopping to smell the roses, as I like to call it. The gentle rustling of leaves, the gentleness and coolness of the morning breeze, and the pleasant chirping of birds enveloped me, creating a serene and invigorating atmosphere, despite the mud, potholes, and dust on the road.
Nurturing Bonds:
Continuing the morning’s blissful rhythm, I shared a pleasurable and nourishing breakfast with my older children. The joy of joining them in the kitchen to prepare a meal, gathering around the table, eating, and engaging in heartfelt conversations and laughter, nurtured our bonds. These shared moments of connection further infused the morning with love, warmth, and a sense of joy.
Feeding the Soul:
After breakfast, I made my way to church for a prayer service – being part of a community that shares similar values and beliefs further enriched my spiritual balance. The collective prayers, uplifting sermons, and great atmosphere nourished my soul, inspiring me.
Welltory Reflects Optimal Well-being:
As the day unfolded, I couldn’t help but notice the positive impact of my activities on my well-being. Curious about how my body responded, I checked my Welltory health tracker, and to my delight, the results were astounding.
My Welltory Health Tracker Reflects… Optimal Well-being! 100% Healthy Status!
The stress levels were remarkably low, indicating a state of calm and relaxation. My energy level was soaring high, and enthusiastic about embracing the day’s experiences fully.
Most notably, the tracker showed a 100% healthy status, affirming that my physical and mental well-being was optimal.
What Can I Tell You?
What we inject into our lives and ingest into our bodies will profoundly impact our overall well-being. By starting the day with God, mindfulness, immersing ourselves in nature, nurturing relationships, engaging in spiritual practices, and purposeful living, we pave the way for a balanced and fulfilling existence. I want this to inspire you to prioritize self-care, seek peace of mind, and embrace activities promoting holistic well-being.
Holistic well-being starts from your early choices and mindfulness.
What Can You Do?
You can look at my recount from this day and conclude that I achieved it because I have no worries or have made it in life (though very wrong because I’m still hustling). But guess what? Whatever your response, you will still get results, good or bad!
Becoming WHOLESOME starts with a decision.
No matter your capacity or positioning in life, you have the power to MAKE NEW CHOICES towards your desired outcomes, regardless of the circumstances. And as you remain committed to your purpose, consistent with your growth, your mind is optimized towards a better life, and your choices align you to greater opportunities. So…, You either complain about things – quacking away like a duck or take control of your life creatively – become an eagle, and SOAR! Do share your experiences with me too.
