Meaning is an essential part of a healthy life

Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? The long title of Paul Gauguin's famous painting raises deep, existential questions. In the past, most people were preoccupied with survival, making it impossible to ponder these questions. Today, remarkable technological advances have made philosophical, scientific, theological, and metaphysical speculation accessible to many. 

The dramatic change in our living conditions has left our insecurities intact. Feelings of inferiority, fear, and insecurity cause conflict both at home and at work. Thus, we often find it hard to stay motivated for goals beyond everyday worries. Without clear goals and a sense of fulfillment, jobs provide little real satisfaction. Constant busyness and overloaded routines keep us hooked on an endless stream of information and the adrenaline rush of staying busy. This constant shifting of focus only delivers fleeting pleasure; it leaves behind feelings of vulnerability and spiritual hunger. A global mental health crisis marked by depression, anxiety, high suicide rates, and the rise of mental illnesses shows the depth of the crisis.

Human well-being is positively linked to meaning and purpose. Coherence in our beliefs and actions reliably enhances our sense of meaning. However, having a purpose beyond our immediate needs, financial concerns, and existential struggles provides the best foundation for long-term happiness. Similarly, having long-term goals and contributing positively to others and the world fosters a sense of purpose. Whether you believe in a higher power or trust the interconnectedness of the cosmos, cultivating passion for your life is vital. Meaningful growth requires stepping outside your comfort zone. If you feel comfortable, try to empathize with others' pain; if you experience pain, let the world embrace you.

Healthy living and exercise

You are humble, like the dirt under your feet, but your mind carries the reflection of the universe. You are a beautiful, wholesome human being, who deserves to be cherished, respected, and loved. It is your first job to live according to that truth by serving your psychological and bodily health. When you appreciate yourself, then the world takes notice and will respect you in turn. Success is about the future. Not giving the best care to your body and your mind cancels the results of your work. 

Exercise and healthy eating habits are not only for your body but also vital for the mind. A healthy regime that serves your needs and aligns with your goals creates a stable framework that underlies good motivation. The discipline of adhering to a particular eating habit introduces a regular order, which increases your confidence and self-respect. After all, your destiny is formed by the way you live every day. Even small positive steps can have a profound influence on how you feel. Systematic life changes can rejuvenate your spiritual world. 

Studies have consistently shown that exercise has a powerful positive influence on memory and executive function. Weight-bearing movements increase muscle mass and boost the biochemical foundation of the nervous system. Neurological health depends as much on signals sent by the muscles to the brain as it does on directives going to the muscles. Exercise triggers the creation of new neurons, releases feel-good hormones, improves physical and intellectual performance, and life functionality; it is the only proven fountain of youth to date. To stop or reverse the physical and executive decline during aging is a gift that extends the energy and agility of youth. Just do it. 

Active people are naturally happy. 

My straightforward handbook, The Power of Joy, gives you the tools and advice you need to liberate yourself from your negativity and become the best version of yourself.
