I admit it.
I’ve procrastinated in my aspiration of achieving wellness.
If I remember it right, a month before leaving our apartment in Pasig, I make
it a point to jog in the nearby mall’s massive parking space almost
e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y. My goal was to compensate on my hobby of stuffing my face with
food. Because that time, living with your partner is to be surrounded by food
and other gastronomic pleasures. Blame it on appetite and Nimmy’s generous dad
because every week, we don’t spend too much for food anymore, because our ref
is a refuge for plethora of carbs and sweets and other dishes which propels you to eat and
eat some more.
Now I’m back to my parent’s house, I get to experience a whole
lot of difference from my usual lifestyle. I have more reasons to get fit.
As I zero-in the grounds to have a healthy life back, I
thought that I just turned 31 and my body requires more nutrients and vitamins
to be able to sustain vitality and strength.
What’s more important is my
aspiration to live longer so I can achieve whatever it is that I am dreaming
of. Wellness is of paramount nowadays, because of the stress each person can
get because of work and the unhealthy habit of the populace.
So only last week, before the long-weekend, I committed myself
to exercise, healthy diet and meditation. Just today, I’m feeling the early
benefits of it.

It’s true that when you exercise, you feel happy. It’s true
that despite the feeling of soreness in your thighs, biceps and back, you feel
that there are changes happening in your body. You can’t help but anticipate for more positive changes. Only
recently, I found myself addicted to coffee because when I halted the habit just even for a day, I get headaches. Meditation cures just that. Deep breathes, finding
my center and ability to control thoughts are proven powerful cures for my anxieties.
Honestly, I can say that I can think more clearly now compared to few months
back. I can now rekindle my being and I’m happy to say that it has greatly
benefited not only me but the people surrounding me.
To affirm my goal of wellness, I am committing myself to the following;
- Balanced diet
- Running
- Light weights
- Meditation
- Prayer
- Love
