Throughout my own experiences, in my health and fitness journey, I have learned many things. In my previous blogs, I discussed the different physical aspects of fitness and nutrition. I then discussed the mental aspects of health and fitness. One thing that I believe is crucial through each of these aspects is positivity. Positivity can be defined as “the quality or state of being positive”. 2 Positivity is one of the most powerful things on this earth. The power of positivity pulls people out of darkness. It heals the brokenhearted. It shows those who have been beaten down, who feel there is no more to life, hope. I believe when people begin to work on their physical change, a mental change begins to occur as well. When positivity is implemented into everyday activities and working out, life seems to have a more sentimental and calm feel about it. It is because these changes are occurring.
To all the hardworking college students that are drinking coffee like water throughout the day to finish their essay by midnight, the ones that are struggling to pass their classes, picking up pennies to pay the bills… try implementing positivity into your life for one week. You will begin to see everything change. The trees seem a little greener, the sun slightly brighter and the small things that used to irritate your day aren’t quite so irritating. This is because when you begin to implement positivity, you begin to appreciate the little things and moments in your day.
Now try implementing positivity into your workouts. It will be different for every individual. For one, a quote written on a hand will give the motivation he needs to run that final mile. For another, it may be giving someone an encouraging word or high-five. Being kind to others is always a great way to add positivity into your life. It is contagious.
To truly live a happy, whole and healthy life, an individual must make an effort to develop and better themselves on a physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional level. I believe if an individual were to implement some form of positivity on every level, they would truly begin to see a change in their life.

I love the word positivity and you described it so well. I found this blog very inspirational and I know I already try to do some of these things, but reading it kind of helps it really sink in. Thank you!!

So true! Everything worth having will require hard work, and most things come with obstacles. With a negative attitude small obstacles become mountains. With a positive attitude you'll see those obstacles as opportunities to overcome.
ReplyDeleteI learned this lesson in Dr. Peak's class. As grad students we need to feel lucky and privileged that we get the opportunity to do graduate level work. Know matter what stress you have in your life you should always turn it in to a positive.
ReplyDeletePositivity is definitely key when it comes to being involved in the fitness world. It's so easy to get discourage when you don't see results right away, but having a positive influence can change how you see things tremendously.
ReplyDeleteI was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
