What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

I don't live by a philosophy. Personally I feel doomed to my life and prefer to see how much time I can kill before I feel depressed about it. You don't get anything from completing life, so why waste your time caring about it? -- pessimist inside me

Personally I feel that with the right amount of love in one's life you can get through just about anything. -- optimist in me

I'm lazy. It made my relationship with my fiance better actually. A constantly tired, nagging, grouchy person isn't fun to be around.
I didn't have any sort of...ideological goals (all-ecompassing type things) for so long. I'm scared to set new ones. But I've been thinking a lot about having kids, and I guess my most immediate goal is to stay as healthy as possible because I'm not going to have kids until I feel I can look after them properly.
Been thinking about career and money some too, but I don't want to work and have young kids if I can help it. Therein madness lies.

After being single for over a year, I've been able to do what I want in life and take better care of myself. I've focused on better eating habits, exercise habits, and overall sleeping schedules.


I'm ready for life now.

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

Just these small habits can change a life a lot.

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

I don't know about making my life better but in general I usually follow a rule that the truth is always more important than being ignorant.

You could argue with that forever, but that is how I do things.

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

i try to take time out of my life to look around and realize where i am what im doing and how im doing it. doing this every once in a while makes life worth living

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

I don't have a philosophy.
I just live? I mean, I try to work hard, be nice, and overall be happy. *shrug*

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

My life goal is to get more healthy so I have more time to think about my real life goal. :monkey:

I already eat properly, I just need to add more activities/gym or whatever. I'm not too worried about it since I'm already losing weight, but it's something to consider once I graduate and say hello to work.

As for the guiding philosophy..

Take care of yourself so yourself can take care of you?
Do your best, it's going to be bad enough?

By "bad enough" I mean that it's unlikely that you will be perfect in your whole life. So, do what you can and it's going to be good enough.

Life is just a progression and since there's only one life, you want to optimize what you can (hello health/life decisions/time management/etc.) even if you know it's not going to be completely perfect. It doesn't matter if tomorrow I win olympics, get hit by a truck or snoozefest on a chair in a boring class. As long as I feel like I'm doing things right I can get away with life without worrying too much about it.

As for suffering, I got the come at me bro attitude. I failed computer science, went back to do some maths and came back to pick the harder computer science course even if I knew I was going to hit a brick wall and almost certainly fail again. ..and I'm actually raging, but I have to say that it was worth it so far. I made it past my old failing point and if I keep pulling miracles I may actually get away with it. I'm dependant of tutors, harassing teachers all the time, asking for help all the time, but I'm finally slowly filling that huge gap between me and the other students who seems to know everything. I don't even care if I mess up at the end, I actually finally started to want to learn and get better at what I like. I'm just lucky that the cost of education where I live is so low because I would be in trouble otherwise. The rest of my life was never a problem. I'm starting to not care anymore about failure and while it makes me look bad, I've been learning a lot more that way. Oops, another mylife..

Story of my goddamn life. I don't feel like going into a huge wall of text rant on this though.

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

A very vivid imagination keeps the demons at bay. :') at least for me..

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

I don't really have a set philosophy, but I do believe in the importance of love. It can teach you almost everything that you will need in life.

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

Regardless of who makes me mad, I somehow find a way to forgive them, and move on. I don't live in a world of revenge, or hate. Also, joining an improv group really made me more of a lively person.

Now im not being egotistical, but I'm proud to say that I have been a great so far. It's great what connections you might make with people you are nice to.

Re: What is your guiding philosophy/how do you aim to live a healthy life?

A major philosophy for me is "Today it's you, tomorrow it's me." By that, I mean I will help anyone if I'm able to, not out of pity, but because it's the right thing to do and for all I know tomorrow I will be the one who needs help.

As far as living a healthy life goes, I eat well and work hard so I can provide for my family. That is enough to make me physically and mentally healthy.
