Take The Chayacitra Challenge
Set yourself up for success, mentally, physically and morally, by eating right. Stop drinking soda, don’t eat candy and quit eating anything that makes you feel tired, depressed or lazy. Fit in fruits and vegetables, local organics and other healthy items wherever you can. Remember that there’s no one diet for everyone – we all need different stuff! Change your diet with baby steps, dropping one or two bad items from the menu each month. Test new healthy foods, abandon old unhealthy ones, stick to your plan and eventually, you’ll get it right!
Feeling better starts with getting fit, meaning exercising on a regular basis. Don’t like running? Get a bike! Don’t like biking? Go for a swim! Whether you do yoga, jog, lift weights, play sports or dance, fitting exercise into your daily routine will make you feel better, help your healthy diet show better results, and set you up for succeeding in the most important thing in your life – having fun! If you can’t take a 5 mile hike without breaking a serious sweat, then it’s time to reevaluate your fitness routine.
We all spend enough time staring at glowing rectangles these days – be it at work, school or even at home. Put down your tablet, turn off the cell phone and disconnect your mind from the web (as soon as you finish reading this) so that you can get back in tune with reality. The world is vast, and it’s incredibly interesting! Stop watching how much fun your friends are having on Facebook, quit clicking through endless Reddit links and actually get out there to experience the world!
What’s the point of making memories if you aren’t willing to share them with others? It took me a long time to start this Blog, but as soon as I did I realized I had found lightning in a bottle. There’s nothing more satisfying than publishing content and receiving positive feedback. Whether you use Facebook, Tumblr or Twitter, start sharing the images you capture, descriptions of things you’ve seen and your feelings about the world with your friends. If everyone did it, the world would be a better place!
