What can you imagine with the words “healthy life culture”? Could you imagine, peace, sunshine, and blowing plants? Maybe it is smoke, mountains, and hot cocoa? I am not sure where you would go for a healthy life culture (feel free to share below), but life culture is about how you interact in the world. It is how you respond to others, and being healthy just means that you are able enough to navigate it with poise and compassion. So the problem is that most of us don’t live in a healthy life culture because quite honestly, we vacation there. We live in the world of hustle, responsibilities, chaos, and confusion- it is actually a little negative. In loss of self™ this is not a good place to reside because it causes chaos in our minds, triggers are harder to find, and life just seems less worth it.
Recently, I acknowledged that I still have my own things I crave- space, privacy, and silence. Even though my healthy life culture is travel, experiences, food, luxury, and mid to cool weather- I vacation in it- but in the world, I have these three craved points that get me closest. I think as a leader though, there is a balance, actually, maybe a point of compilation or true transformation. As healthy life culture may not be the same, there are overlapping points like emotions that allow you to feel safe as you drag your life-boat of unhealthy along. As most keep it in the front of their mind, in building a healthy culture at home, you have to prioritize it and be intentional. This means that you cannot focus on the negative, but see your family, throw each of you a safety rope, nurture each other, and ask how you are doing instead.
From my experiences there are many ways your life-boat can get in front of you: drifting, unforeseen circumstances, and external pressure. This is why understanding what you and your family want out of life, as who you were made to be, is so important. In helping you to build a healthy life, set down your desperation, and open yourself to more as safety, community, and caring for yourself makes it at possible home. In rediscovering yourself it is about you, the people within your life, and those that make your home because:
- those you let into your home are intricate to your mental success
- your significant other is vital for your physical success
- you are key to your spiritual success
You may questions these placements so let me explain: friends are confidants and what you hear goes into your mind for analysis, so you don’t want bad apples. Your significant other helps you get into the world, experiencing and laughing, and that is physical. You are in charge of your core, emotions, prayer, and overall acceptance or denial of what you have been presented with, so this success is the most important. In having a healthy life culture at home, you have to be protective of who you want around you and your children, hold proper boundaries, and love deeply those who love you back. If you want some steps:
- evaluate yourself and those around you,
- devise a plan on where you want to go, and
- see who has the skills, mentality, or motivation to help you get there without their ego
