Deciding to make a change in your life is never an easy step to take. Changing and growing your mindset within a set time could be challenging. However, it’s not impossible with the right guide and sources.
Whether you are looking for an optimistic outlook on life, want to change your mindset and eat nutritious foods, or need a new plan to expand your self-resistance. Our guide for today's article is showcasing two forms to look for if you want to get an insight into how to change your habits achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Our first step in this week's guide is reading the book Wabi Sabi: Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life by Beth Kempton. The book delivers an insight into adopting the centuries-old Japanese wisdom philosophy of living. The book was chosen as it is relatable to our audience who are planning to change their lifestyle, knowing that today's life pace sucks up all of your energy. Furthermore, in our modern-day people face a lot of worries about underachieving, having a busy schedule, and being overwhelmed not knowing where life is headed towards.
The book Wabi Sabi offers insight. It enables us to view things objectively through simplicity and the acceptance of our imperfections and transience. Wabi-sabi shows us how to prioritize the correct thing, simplify our lives, and refrain from being too rough on ourselves as we go through life changes. It frequently serves as a reminder that what we currently have is sufficient and that everyday wonder exists right around us. All we have to do is figure out how to get to it.
Wabi-sabi signifies tuning into nature
You quickly discover how deeply the natural world is engrained in Japanese words once you start learning it. The Wabi-Sabi concept fosters a deep relationship with the natural world. Nature has a whole universe of modest, everyday wonder that we start to perceive when we pay attention to it. We also learn to be more mindful.
In the modern world, we frequently overlook subtle alterations in our surroundings. Sadly, this also applies to our inner selves. As we fly between work and the light of our screens, modern life makes us less aware of the signals coming from our bodies and thoughts. But if we can learn to recognize minute shifts in the natural world, we can develop a greater awareness of our own rhythms. We can figure out when we need to rest or work out, travel, or stay at home.
Wabi Sabi introduces us to how to learn from failure in a healthy way
There is no such thing as perfect or complete knowledge; learning is a continuous process that keeps us thriving for more. We ought to learn how to redefine our setbacks. Failure only serves as a valuable teaching opportunity. Any failure offers us an opportunity to learn something about ourselves that we otherwise might not have.
Fed Up Documentary
Our last step in this week's guide is watching the Netflix documentary "Fed Up." The documentary is created by the producers Laurie David and Katie Couric. It highlights the top food experts in the movie, including Michael Pollan, Marion Nestle, Robert Lustig, and Mark Bittman, make the case that the food industry's purported "solutions" to the obesity and disease epidemic are not only making matters worse but are also contributing to them. The movie also delves deeply into the problems with government support and endorsement of the marketing and sale of unhealthy products to both adults and children.
But how can we deal with this problem? First, it's important to understand why the changes are required. Understanding the reasons why dietary change is required in the first place is necessary before we can make any permanent changes. Another major piece of information noted from the film is Consuming processed foods might sometimes have hidden long-term consequences. The term "TOFI" stands for "Thin Outside, Fat Inside" and describes people who appear to "get away" with eating whatever they want while concealing unhealthy levels of body fat.
Concluding our guide for this week, both sources have a drastic impact enabling the viewer to revisit their habits and think about moderation. Rather than piling unnecessary pressure on ourselves in the quest for perfection, encourage us to value the perfectly imperfect life we have.
