Taking Your Health Seriously: 4 Actions That Help

One thing in life that serves you well is taking your health as seriously as possible. We understand that life gets in the way sometimes, and that doing it all is hard. But, for the most part, doing better when it comes to your health gives a strong foundation. In this article, we explore some various ways you can do better for your health.

Eat Quality, Clean Food

Because food enters your body every day, it affects you continually. This means you are either hurting your health or making it better with what you eat or drink. Many women are somewhere in the middle with OK diets or don’t know how to get on the “taking your health seriously” train. No worries, it’s never too late to do better for yourself.

Make note of how various foods and drinks make you feel. Every person is different, so eating or not eating something may not serve you like it does others. Keep a food journal if you suspect your diet is harming you. Do also research quality, clean foods and incorporate them in your diet as you can.

Exercise Regularly  

taking your health seriouslyWe’re going to kick things off by talking about exercise. Make sure that you are exercising/moving regularly. It’s not always easy to find the time or energy for exercise, but do your best to move your body in some capacity regularly. For some people this might mean waking up earlier or going to bed later. It also may require a blessing from your doctor before you start anything new, especially if you’re sick or injured. Do what you can that works for you and is safe.

Find an exercise/movement that you enjoy. If you’re a fan of the gym, go to the gym. If you would rather do pilates, there are companies like Eti Pilates that offer various programs. Or, if walking and swimming are preferable, those options are there if you need them always or a few days a week.

Acknowledge Your Mental Health 

Too many women ignore their mental health, sending it on a sharp decline. Acknowledge your mental health regularly and do whatever you can to improve it. Mental health is not something  you should ever be embarrassed about because we all struggle sometimes. You wouldn’t feel bad about seeking help for a physical problem, so you shouldn’t for seeking mental health help. Of course, you might just need to take some time to think about your life and recharge. Start there, and if that doesn’t work, get the help you need.

Speak To A Doctor 

Last but not least, speaking to a doctor if you need some advice about health is a serving thing to do. Doctors are there to help you with anything bothering you. They are there to treat you when you are ill, and they are there to help you live the healthiest life possible. We know that it can be tough to get an appointment with your doctor or a specialist. Taking your health seriously means getting help, sometimes. Doctors can do a full checkup to make sure you’re good before you move forward with any changes. If needed, they can also advise about lifestyle changes that would contribute to stronger health.

About Kellie R. Stone

"I make no excuses for my diverse roles as a Rock Your Feminine Type Coach™ and Branding Expert, best-selling author, and crime thriller novelist. Yes, I do still chuckle a bit at the irony. I kick ass as a women’s biz coach by day and kill off vulnerable fiction characters at night. What the hell, it makes for some interesting dreams. I believe that everyone should pursue their passions no matter how out there they seem to be. One of those pure heart-fluttering passions for me has always been writing. Since I did, indeed, chase my dream of being a writer, I've published two non-fiction books in the self-development genre, co-authored an international best seller, and now I'm finally pushing my much-too-old-to-be-in-the-nest novel out the door and into the world. My whole world is empowering and I adore showing others how to live life unfiltered, whether I do that through the written word or my coaching work. I love my job!" ~Kellie R. Stone
