The first step to get into a new healthier life is to ask yourself what are the things that are making you think that you could have a better life.
It's easier to see what other people are doing wrong than what we are doing wrong, that doesn't mean that we can't learn from their mistakes. For example, when I was a child I always saw my father very stressed, he was always "running" and when he was at home and had the opportunity to calm down, relax, and being with me and my mother sharing a nice moment in family, he used to spend all the time on the phone discussing work issues.
Nowadays he is practically the same person, he almost had a heart attack, but he is still the same stressed person. The first thought that comes to my mind when I think about this is "I definitely don't want that for my life" Why? Because I want to LIVE my life, I don't want to spend my time SURVIVING instead of LIVING.
To live your life means to take care of you mental and physical health. Living doesn't mean getting drunk every weekend or consuming drugs to have fun, because if you are doing that, you are not taking care of yourself, you are hurting yourself.
Coming back to our first question: What are the things that make you feel you could have a better life?
In future posts I'll be writing about different mental and physical illnesses and problems that are common in our society, because first of all we have to know about the problem and then we can think about the solution.
Don't forget to take care!
