How to Boost Your Health with Discipline?

You are reading this article, because you want to be healthy. That is positive. Being positive and experiencing positive emotions and situations are all parts of the health puzzle. To make this puzzle less complicated, we can simplify the parts of the health puzzle that need to be addressed, and then address them bit-by-bit until they are solved or improved.

To simplify true health, we can classify it as the sum of all your habits, your daily activities (exercise), your mental and emotional states, your physical state and your nutrition.

The 5X5 system involves taking a good look at the 5 aspects of your health daily, for just 5 minutes and taking some quick notes on how you can improve on it. Here is an explanation of all 5 points to look at:

1. Habits:

The things we do every day to make us who we are.

2. Daily activities

Exercise or some type of physical activity that gets your heart rate up and keeps your body feeling energized and young. Remember: use it or lose it!

3. Mental and emotional states

How you are feeling, and how that is affecting the way you live your life.

4. Physical state

Whether you body is in good condition, whether you have an injury. This is basically “the whole physical package” that is you.

5. Nutrition

What you eat to build your physical body, but also what fuels your activity and your life.

When doing your 5X5 exercises daily, you will become acutely aware of things that you are doing or feeling that is affecting your health – and consistently finding creative ways to overcome them. This system does not work miracles, but it is an easy way to get started on the road to improving your health. Best of luck!
