The Four Main Aspects of Life

All of us want to **stay healthy**. And individually, we have different opinions, beliefs, viewpoints, and statements regarding this matter. What is your **lifestyle** to stay healthy? Does it require a lot of **effort** and **endeavor**? Are you **happy** with the result? Or you're still doing a lot of **self-discipline**? We all know that having a healthy lifestyle results in a **long and happy life**. We're **struggling** for that achievement as this civilization doesn't help us with that objective. But still, we're **doing the best** that we can to achieve the **healthy lifestyle** that we require. In this article, I will share some of my **ideas** and my **suggestions** on how to **stay healthy**. And I will tackle the **4 main aspects** of an individual that work together to guide us along the path of life. 📌**Physical health**

As human beings, we're created to maintain our bodies **clean**. In our school, teachers always demand us to do that. **Take a bath** regularly, **brush your teeth** after meals, **cut your nails** and make them clean, etc. Since we're kids, we know that having a **clean body** results in a healthy physique. And that's what we do until now. Maintaining the cleanliness that it obliges. How about the **food** we eat? Some of us don't know how to have a **healthy meal**. Just eating everything, as long that it's delicious and suits our taste buds. By the way, my Dad trained us to have a **2 dish** per meal.

One for the **meat or fish**, and the other one for **veggies**. **Vegetables** need to be present always. He got angry and **don't enjoy eating** without it. So, I adopt that healthy way of living when it comes to **nutrition**. 📌**Mental health**

How can you rate your **IQ**? Some of us try to answer an examination to know how high our IQ is. Some just join competitions where people know who is the smartest. Well, having a **healthy brain** is a must. It gives us **confidence** if we are **wise**. But how can you say if you have a healthy brain? According to **Mental Health Foundation**, *"Good mental health is characterized by a person's ability to fulfill several keys functions and activities, including the ability to learn, the ability to feel, express and manage a range of positive and negative emotions."* It means having a healthy mind, requires you to **learn easily**, and to **organize your emotions**. It's true, some of us cannot handle that much, so it leads to **stress** or worst, **depression**. Another part of mental health is what we **insert** into our brain. For example, what kind of **movies** do you watch? What **entertainment** do you enjoy playing? What type of **music** do you love to listen to? These are the **daily activities** that we love doing. But did you know that the things that we see and hear can **affect our mental health**? Yes. Take **music** for example. Some **songs** are composed of **unpleasant lyrics**. It is common for us now. Sometimes because of the **beautiful beat**, we tend to **enjoy music** without thinking about the **verses** of the song. Little did we know, we **hymn** the song until we **memorize** it whole. That's what other call **LSS** *(Last Song Syndrome)*. Then without knowing, the **unpleasant lyrics** already affect our way of thinking. It **influences** us and results in **bad behavior**. What about people that we **socialize** with? Can it affect our mental health? Yes, they can. **Illustration:**

People are like **sponges**. Even though we don't want to be **influenced**, we can easily **adapt** to what people around us **think**. In no meantime, we will just realize that the way we speak is the same with the people we're always **socializing** with. So make sure to **choose your friends wisely**. 📌**Moral values**

How **high** our standards when it comes to **morally**? In this world, I can say that it's **not** that **outstanding**. A lot of people get used to **same-sex marriage**, **sex before marriage**, or even **immorality**. Sadly, it's being **common** for us to read some news or hear an announcement regarding the **low moral standard**. How about you? What's your viewpoint regarding this matter? As for me, I will stick to a **high standard** of the **Bible**. I know people **view** it today as an **old model book**. But I **trust** the **author** of it, which is **God**. He **created** us so He knows what's the **best** for us.

I and my husband have been **in a relationship** for about **7 years**. We **love** each other dearly. We **spend our time together** on a date, or in a simple conversation. We hold hands, hug, kiss, yeah we do that. How about **sex**? Honestly, we never did that for 7 years. A lot of people who are in a relationship **spend their night together**. Doing things that **belong** to a **married couple**. It's true, we **struggled** **so much** about this matter. We are **tempted** to do it, but because we **love** each other and **respect** each other... We **won** the battle. 😊 We are **married** now and **didn't regret** that we **follow** the **high moral standard**. I am **happy** that I gave him the **whole** me when we're already married. That builds **trust** more. Surely, if we follow the high moral standard... We will be **happy**. We will **avoid** the possible **illness** that it brings. And certainly, our **conscience** will be **clean**. 📌**Spiritual values**

How **strong** your **relationship** with **God**? Are you aware that in life, **spiritual well-being** is **required**? We are all **busy** with our **daily work**, **activities**, and **chores**. But do you somehow **set a schedule** for the **spiritual routines**? How do you do it? Can it **strengthen** your **connection** with **Him**? Some **rich people** or **famous ones** share a story of being **lonely**. Out of **popularity** and **wealth**, they still feel that something is **missing**. Until they found out, they **lack spiritual health**. Yeah, it's true, we are **created** to **develop** our **spirituality**. It is **part** of our **human being**. And little did we know, God provided **everything** that we need. The only thing we need to do is **effort**. Learn to **balance** our time not just on material things, but also on **spiritual things**. It's like eating a **dessert**.

We all **love** desserts, surely. But imagine if it's the **only food** that we eat... For **breakfast**, **lunch**, **snacks**, and **dinner**. What do you think will happen to your body? Because it **doesn't consist** of all the **nutrients** that our body needs, we will get **sick**. Same with our life. Material things and entertainment are like **dessert**. We **enjoyed** having it. But make sure not to use our **whole life** on it. We will get **sick** and **unhealthy**. Try to **read** the **bible**. Understand its **message**. **Pray** to God. **Talk** to Him. And make sure to have a **strong relationship** with Him no matter how busy we are. Thanks for reading. 💕
