Enjoying The Wealth Around Us

5 days ago

If you want to feel rich, try to enjoy the things around us.

Each person has their own way of thinking to live life. But how sad it would be if someone lives without an open mind that makes it difficult for someone to develop and enjoy life itself.

Especially about a healthy, calm, and happy life. Most people around me say that to live a healthy and calm lifestyle, we need a lot of money especially to buy healthy food and also do sports. I think that is very sad.

To get what we want, we can actually start anytime without having to wait to be rich and have a lot of money. Especially about health and being happy, we don't have to have a lot of money first. The most important thing is intention and the rest we can adjust to the things around us.

Do you realize that around us is rich with abundance? It depends on how we see it and can utilize these resources as best as possible.

A simple example is when someone lives in a natural area. For example, like rice fields, mountains, or the sea. Compared to people who live in urban areas, people who live close to nature will have a much greater chance of being able to start and maintain a healthy life. But with the note, if the person really intends and wants to do it.

So, for me living in an area filled with rice fields is a blessing and wealth of nature that must be utilized as well as possible. It's not just about the beautiful scenery, fresh air, calm and relaxing atmosphere, but also about the food ingredients available around me.

With the abundance of nutritious local ingredients, that's enough for us to start being healthier. Like today, in the morning after drinking water, I prepared an immune booster drink, for the morning before I had breakfast. This drink consists of lemongrass, ginger, and honey.

After enjoying an immune booster drink in the morning, usually my husband and I will do sports in the city field.

The city field is also used as a place for people around the city where I live to enjoy the morning air and to do physical activities.

Usually, I will go to the city field for a walking or jogging schedule. Meanwhile, on other days I have a weightlifting schedule and I only do it at home. I don't go to the gym because I'm more comfortable doing weightlifting at home. While on other days, I also have a Yoga schedule. So, I want to maintain a balance between these schedules.

In addition to walking or running in a clean city field with a beautiful view, I also have a regular cycling schedule one or two days a week. Usually I cycle in a beautiful rice field area.

Next, for breakfast, I have a variety of food ingredients that I serve by steaming. Steaming food ingredients is certainly a healthier way of cooking than serving certain food ingredients by frying or with lots of oil and sugar.

Currently, I am getting used to eating clean food. Especially for breakfast. Meanwhile, for lunch and dinner, I also think about the balance of food for mental health. If every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner we only think about clean food, then it can increase our stress especially for beginners. So it is very important to apply our balance pattern. No need to think about eating clean food as a whole.

The simplest way for beginners to learn to start a healthy life is to pay attention to breakfast patterns. Because most of us already have too many carbohydrates with sweet foods and oil at breakfast. That's why, we can start with vegetables and fruits. Also, choose a protein that suits your ability to buy it.

Don't force yourself to buy something we can't afford. Start by choosing local ingredients around us. Especially shop at traditional markets which of course are cheaper than modern markets. If possible, you can look for local food sources from local farms and ranches. That would be much, much better because besides being for our own good, we also help local breeders and farmers of course. ❤️
