Don't panic when you get out of your routine!

Of course, our personal needs are one of the most important priorities in our lives. Meeting the needs of both our body and mind and taking care of ourselves is of course very important. But, as with everything else, when we overdo it, there is more harm than good.

If you are severely restricting your life in order to do everything you believe to be healthy, again, the danger bells are ringing. For example, if an unplanned gathering of friends or a group meal plan that doesn't include a menu that doesn't fit into your eating plan for the day puts you in a bind, and you'd rather walk away than make changes, you may realize that this is not a good way to live.

As important as taking good care of your body, it is also important to spend time with people who make you feel good, with whom you can socialize, communicate and enjoy. To maintain lifelong healthy habits, you need to realize that you cannot live a happy life by hiding or running away.

People who have a more relaxed attitude to health and well-being are not too affected by occasional changes to their routine. For them, for example, eating cake at a celebration or missing a daily exercise session is acceptable and normal. However, for individuals who are obsessed with healthy living, these and similar situations are almost a crime.

If your meal plan or gym time is off, if you skip any of your good habits during the day, or if you accidentally drink your coffee with sugar, if you burst into tears, throw tantrums, start blaming yourself or have strong emotional reactions, these are all signs that something is wrong.

We can talk about many things with our family, friends, neighbors or loved ones. Our daily habits and lifestyle actions can also be the subject of these conversations. For example, how many meals do you eat, do you follow a particular diet, how many hours a week do you exercise and similar questions can often find their way into intimate conversations. It is usually expected that such questions will be answered calmly.

However, if you perceive it as a very harsh criticism when someone, be it your mother or a dear friend, asks you such a question or makes a comment such as 'don't you think this is too much' or 'don't you overdo it a bit', if you take it as a very harsh criticism and get seriously defensive and at that moment you don't see anything else, you may be obsessed with healthy living.

Under normal circumstances, exercise does not cause excessive pain or discomfort. First-time exercisers may experience mild to moderate muscle soreness for a few days or weeks due to the lack of exercise, but this will subside and disappear as long as you exercise regularly.

On the other hand, when exercising at an intense pace and more frequently than necessary, various injuries and injuries can occur due to overstraining of the muscles. If, despite these injuries, you stick to your exercise routine and continue to push your body even harder, then there is a big problem.

Or, if your immunity is weakened, you have a cold, flu, infection, or any other health problem, but instead of lying down and resting, recovering your energy and body, you are making yourself even more exhausted by crawling to the gym in the name of 'being healthy', you may be ignoring your body's cries for help.

Obsession with being healthy can manifest itself in different forms of paranoia. If you have developed a destructive attitude towards food as well as excessive and body-damaging exercise, you are not being healthy; you are forcing yourself into an unhealthy attitude. There is nothing wrong with paying attention to all the foods you eat and drink to protect your health and strengthen your body and mind, but if you get too caught up in healthy eating and avoid eating any food that contains sugar, fat, gluten, etc. out of fear, as if you were 'running away from poison', then this could be a problem.
