[Week 134] Wellness is my priority

At one stage of my life, I was much more physically active, but as the years went by, I abandoned these activities and my life became too sedentary and with the pandemic this only got worse. Because of this, for some time now I have had the goal of starting to lead a much healthier lifestyle, but I was always putting it off, I think it was due in part to the fact that I tend to procrastinate.

So, when I saw the announcement of a new community on Hive called @reto-morphosis I didn't hesitate to sign up to participate, as I loved its proposal based on physical wellness.

The challenge consisted of, during a period of 3 months, starting a transformation process, in terms of food and exercise, to achieve optimal health as a result. In addition, an update process had to be carried out every 15 days to have a record of the progress of each participant.

That's how, with the firm conviction that belonging to @reto-morphosis would finally help me to give me that push I needed to leave aside unhealthy eating habits, I started my personal transformation. I started by improving my diet, trying to reduce that excess of carbohydrates and sweets I was consuming, to focus on preparing much healthier foods and with greater benefits for me, health.

I am a vegetarian, but I did not include almost no vegetables in my diet, so having changed this without a doubt I began to see the results. I feel much better both mentally and physically, I have noticed that my way of relating to food has improved, before I used to use it as a means by which I could drown my emotions, I even ate out of anxiety and as for my physical condition it was deficient, I got tired just by climbing some stairs.

Definitely, ending these last 3 months of the year, having finished with this challenge and starting next year following a new lifestyle, will generate in me great benefits, which are the following:

• It will allow me to keep moving and exercise will continue to be part of my daily routine.

• It will generate the necessary discipline to drive me to keep going for what I want without giving up.

• It will help me deal with the anxiety I sometimes feel, as it is a catalyst for anxiety.

• I will be able to continue doing one of my favorite hobbies that I have not done for years, which is climbing mountains and enjoying the beautiful majesty of nature.

• Spending some time doing things that help me achieve better health is key to moving forward.

• Eating healthier will make me have a lot more energy in my day-to-day life and I will be able to be someone who does things more efficiently.

• It will connect me with the importance of not giving up despite the difficulties, leading a healthy lifestyle is sometimes not easy, but with willpower and desire it can be done.

For all this I am sure that the year 2023 will be good, for me the biggest goal for this year is to continue working on what I need and give priority to my health, I am no longer as young as I would like hehehe and now I give more importance to health and wellness.
