What does being healthy mean to you? Maybe you instantly picture the Greek Gods and Goddesses that are CrossFit athletes. Sure, these amazing humans look the part and also embody many important aspects of functional, physical health like being able to lift and move heavy objects, pull themselves up - say, on a rope or up and over a fence while fleeing a pitbull - impeccable balance, endurance, mobility, and more.
Yet, we don't all have to have impressive, rippling muscles to be physically healthy. Not at all! Our physical health is so many things related to the homeostasis and well-being of our body like being free of disease, having normal cholesterol and blood pressure levels, fueling ourselves with good food, being properly hydrated, having a strong immune system, and so on. Of course, exercise is one way to build our physical health, but have you also thought about what it does for your mental and emotional health? A few perks, level mood, stress levels at a minimum, enhance focus, improve our memory, burn off anger, and increase self-confidence, just to name a few.
Bottom line: Health encompasses all of these things - the physical, mental, and emotional aspects*. When all three of these health components are in balance, we create synergy in our lives.
*Side note: we will leave spiritual sidelined for now, simply because it's significantly more subjective than the other components of health.
Alright then, let's definite synergy further as it's not commonly referred to in terms of health. Synergy is the highest activity in all life, the truest test and manifestation of all aspects of health working harmoniously together. Achieving it is possible through consistent, intentional, daily action, fueled by clear goals. In fact, writing down your goals has been proven to increase the likelihood of them happening by 42%¹.
Now, to spend a couple minutes every day writing your goals and cultivating synergy in your life would be awesome right? Then why not start? Download the link below to start scheduling synergy in your life right now.
