Maintaining your health is all about balance, a concept deeply rooted in both Chinese and Western medicine. When you're in the maintenance phase, it's not about making significant shifts but about preserving the progress you've made. Think of your health like tending to a garden: it requires regular care, but not overwatering or neglect. 🌱
In this phase, it’s important to enjoy the pleasures of life without overindulging. Imagine your life as a scale ⚖️, where you balance indulgence with healthy choices. For instance, savor that occasional piece of chocolate 🍫, but balance it with nutrient-rich meals 🥗 and regular physical activity 🏃♀️. This approach helps you maintain a steady state of well-being.
Balance also means not becoming obsessively healthy. Over-attachment to strict health routines can be as detrimental as neglect. It’s about finding that middle ground where you can enjoy a variety of experiences without compromising your health. Embrace flexibility in your habits, knowing that a balanced lifestyle is key to long-term wellness. 🌟
Remember, balance is the key to preserving health, enjoying variety, and living harmoniously. It’s not about extremes but finding that sweet spot where your body and mind thrive. 💫
We must emphasise however, that if you are aiming to tackle a big health challenge, we need a different approach to simply ‘maintaining health’. This will be discussed in another post!
Otherwise, stay balanced, stay healthy! 💚
