151 - Healthy
Full transcript here đź‘‹ Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.
The word for today is healthy. I’m sure you could list a dozen things that you’ve heard are healthy for you, but how can you know for sure? For now, you have a couple of options. First, you could try it yourself to see if it makes a difference in the way that you feel. As we discussed in episode “17 - Medication,” you’ll want to take any medications or supplements in a consistent way in order to give them a chance to build up in your body correctly, and be sure to consult your doctor if you have any concerns about whether you should start a regimen. Alternatively, you could rely on the research of others. Dr. Laurie Santos does a great job in her podcast, The Happiness Lab, and in her course, The Science of Well-Being, promoting research-proven practices that boost happiness and fulfillment. You may or may not be surprised to find that most of them are things that people have been doing for millenia, like savoring the moment, meditation, and exercise. I have a feeling that future generations will have health insights that make them look back at us and think, “They had no idea what was going on inside their bodies,” but I’d be surprised if humans ever get away from the basic practices that give us long-term satisfaction and health. What basic health practices do you need to dedicate yourself to?
Today’s concrete challenge is to write one healthy habit that you commit yourself to. While you’re choosing, remember to make your goal small enough that it’s attainable but big enough that it keeps you stretching.
If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will dedicate my attention to one health goal.”
I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.
Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who keeps it simple.”
Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.
Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
