Which two quotes do you relate to most, or which are you most drawn to and why? The two quotes that I am most relate to is the first and second. The first quote states, “It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t. It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.”-Unknown. I chose this quote because some people are ready to change and better their life before others. If someone is not ready to change their habits, then there is no point in pushing for change because they will often go back to their old behaviors. In order to want to enhance our health and habits we need to want to change, and often times change feared. The second quote states that “The groundwork of all happiness is health.” - James Leigh Hunt (1784 – 1859). I chose this quote because when someone has good health they are also benefiting from being happy. When I am eating healthy and working out I am usually at my happiest state, because I have more energy and feel better about my self image. When I do not workout I often feel less confident in myself and often this reflects my overall mood. …show more content…
The thing that inspires me to live a healthy life is how I am going to feel at the end of the day. I want to advance my fitness journey so that I am able to better myself from the person I was yesterday. Chronic diseases and cancer are on the rise, and it is mostly due to how people treat their bodies, which is something that scares me and if I can do something to reduce my chances, then I will. Secondly, Instagram and Facebook are becoming more used for posting fitness journeys. This inspires me to want to start mine as it shows what motivation and determination can do to someone. Where do you fall on the on the continuum of the stage of change model when it comes to your self care and health
In my paper you will be pleased to find that I talked about three different quotes that really spoke to me from the book Stiff by Mary Roach. The first quote is from page 82, “the point that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won’t ultimately, be very appealing.” To me this is the main topic of chapter three, and it talks about different things you are able to do with your body after death in gruesome detail. The second quote I pulled from chapter three as well, it comes from page 84, it reads; “… at birth and at death. In between we do what we can to forget.” With this quote I was able to make a very personal connection that may or may not include my last two relationships. For my third and final quote, which came
This section discusses health psychology and behavioral medicine, making positive life changes, resources for effective life change, controlling stress, behaving, and your good life. Health psychology emphasizes psychology’s role in establishing and maintaining health and preventing and treating illness. It reflects the belief that lifestyle choices, behaviors, and psychological characteristics can play important roles in health. The mind is responsible for much of what happens in the body, it is not the only factor, the body may influence the mind as well. Making positive life changes include health behaviors- practices that have an impact on physical well being. The stages of change model describes the process by which individuals give up bad habits and adopt healthier lifestyles. The model has five stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation/ determination, action/ willpower, and
Upon the completion of my high school career I was faced with the sudden realization that I was growing up and on the verge of becoming independent. A few months prior, I had applied to Montana State and received my acceptance letter. The future was before me and my ambitions were truly limitless. That is, until the fact set in that I was going to have to pay for this education that I desired. I knew that with my busy schedule, I would be unable to make enough money while only working a few hours here and there. I was beginning to lose sight of hope. Then one day I talked to my counsellor about what I could do and he pointed me towards dozens of scholarships that I could apply for. The exigence or purpose

Introduction Teachers have become gateway keepers to providing education to students. Over the span of several years, teachers have been criticized for being unprepared, unable to adapt to different learning styles, and are increasing the number of students who aren’t learning. With this achievement gap increasing, it brings up the idea of what the education system is doing wrong and what improvements it needs to make. The education system needs to be redesigned to strengthen its curriculum, it’s connection to both practice and theory, and the idea of a powerful educator. The first aspect of this memo contains an interview with Diana Regalado De Santiago, a math teacher in the Socorro Independent School District for the past six years.
The section of The Cyclopes demonstrates the importance of respecting elders. Referring to “destruction for my ships he (Zeus) had in store, and death for those who sailed them, my companions.” Zeus and other Gods play a big role in our lives and are capable of implying either difficulty or bliss. Just as our elders, they protect people they care for, just as Poseidon did for they Cyclopes. Furthermore, being a god, or an elder in society, is associated with many things, among respect. The quote by Odysseus’s son shows the role of gods and elders have in our society; “ Your cloak is new, even your skin! You are one of the gods who rule the sweep of heaven!” A big aspect that has to do with their respect is the wisdom and intelligence they may have gained, or have been gifted with. Even Odysseus’s son could see the wealth he had gained at his first glance. Certainly, respecting god's and recognizing their part wasn’t the only part of Odysseus journey.
According to a quote that I found that sums up the heart of my speech, “You may not appreciate the presence of good health, but you will definitely regret the absence of good health, because health is happiness.”
I work out at least three times a week for 45 minutes, and I am working on making eating a healthy lifestyle (physical). I improve my social wellness by being a positive influence.
Being healthy is something that I put allot of emphasis on sense I was young. Sports and training soon lead to a focus on nutritional and now mental well-being. I understand the effects of stress and negativity and have been making strong efforts to both separate myself from the negative elements. Some life changes and a wonderful life partner have made this goal and lifestyle well worth the time investment.
I agree that being healthy and physically active, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people still believe that it is something that’s not recommended for them because they tend to believe that the amount of sugars and fats that they intake during their adolescent or adult years isn’t going to make a difference in their body’s if they continue eating the way that they do. What is being healthy and why is being healthy important to me? Being healthy means obtaining a physically active lifestyle which may include running, riding a bicycle, lifting weights, etc. or changing the way you eat for a better diet. What being healthy means to me, is being able to stay in shape, giving me a greater health benefit in life such as, being able to obtain a higher chance of living longer, it decreases my chance of being depressed, gives me the chance of obtaining a stronger respiratory system and stronger muscles, and it also clears my head.
Healthy living is a change not everyone is willing to do. Even with small replacements in your daily life, you can start to see big changes in how your body starts working. Maintaining a healthy life style can benefit your life in many ways. Being healthy can improve your bodies ability to stand against infections or diseases. It can also aid in giving you more energy, as well as helping you sleep better. Another advantage to keeping a healthy life style is you'll be stronger, and feel better about the way your body feels. Despite the overly expensive food or the pricey monthly bills from the gym you hardly go too, simple steps can assist you in living a long healthy life without the extra effort.
“You make the world a better place by making yourself a better person,” was once said by a man named Scott Sorrell. In today’s modern world and age, everything seems to be progressing and getting larger at a mind blowing rate. This includes people’s attitudes on themselves, on other people, and on the world in general. Many people are insecure and spiteful towards their physique or their overall worth, and bitter and disconnected from other people. Scott Sorrell’s quote is conveying that one can make the world a better place both for themselves and for other people simply by changing their attitude and being positive. I agree with Scott Sorrell’s quote because by choosing to be happy from within, people’s positive attitudes can reach other people and eventually the world, making it a “better place”.
Exercise and eating healthy are two of the most important things you need to do to take care of your body properly. Both exercise, and eating healthy, have many advantages and benefits. They help with multiple things needed throughout your life. These things include growing physically, mentally, and if you are religious, spiritually as well. All of this adds up to your body functioning in the highest and best way possible.
Staying motivated to keep healthy can be a difficult task, but there are certain motivators that help me going. I have been struggling with weight issues for a while and it was not easy for me to start a diet/workout and stick to it. I had a negative body image that affected my emotions as well. I was not happy with the way I looked or felt. Eventually, I told myself that I didn't want to feel that way anymore. Recently, I have started working out and changing my eating habits for good. One of my major motivators is the fact that I do not want to go back to feeling sad or depressed and nor do I want to waste all the effort I have made. It motivates me when I wake up and look at myself in the mirror to find that not only am I reaching my weight loss goals, but my health goals as well. Working out releases endorphins as well and by the time I am done with my workout, I feel happy. I don't want to lose that feeling. Also, I have more energy, which keeps me going. If I were to stop working out, I would no longer have that. My sister also provides great motivation for me since she is also working out and eating healthier. She pushes me to keep going when I think I can't. Moreover, while the scale might scare people, everytime I find that I have lost weight, that motivates me further. I also like reading and seeing success stories, because that further proves to me that it is possible. Hearing other people talk about their routines and how their health has improved is always a great motivator.
My personal health has been something I constantly think about. Whether it’s myself, my parents, my doctor, or others that bring it up, I’m reminded that I need to eat healthier or exercise more, etc. I know that I need to get better about what I eat and try to work more exercise into my daily routine, I just find it hard to find the motivation to go and actually accomplish what I know that I need to do. Especially in today’s society where we’re surrounded by a lot of non-healthy food, and getting access to healthy food is more expensive than the latter, it’s hard to make the better choice and choose the healthy option. I’m hoping now that I’m in college that I’m able to get better at taking care of myself than I have in the past.
