Hey, I am back with another health blog. But, this blog is very different from any of my other blogs. In this blog, your participation is much needed.
One thing I know now is that people on WP love to write and share their thoughts. So, I thought hey, let’s use that in a fun manner.
If you have seen that nowadays WP gives you daily prompts. In that, it asks you a question, and you need (totally your choice) to share your thoughts based on that. Also, there are some bloggers I know, who do monthly challenges and people write and talk about that thing through a blog.
This made me wonder how about I do this too. How about I give you a topic, and maybe you can write a blog around that? The topic will obviously be about health and wellness. But, don’t worry I won’t be asking you to write a lengthy or researched blog.
First, let me tell you the topic:
5 Healthy things I do
Now, as you can see the topic is completely about you, so you don’t need to research anything, and you can share what things you do, that according to you are healthy.
Like anything you follow, that keeps you healthy. It could be about your diet, your activity, or just your way of living.
Let me give you an example
5 things that keep me healthy:
1: Eating healthy
As you may know, I am losing weight (and so far I am successful). But for losing weight, I also need to follow a certain diet. However, by diet, I don’t mean I am restricting myself from eating anything. I eat my favorites, but I eat them in moderation. I’m also focussing more on greens, fruits, healthy snacks, protein, carbs, fibers, and fats.
I feel that food is never the enemy, and you can stay healthy if you eat right.
2: Working out
I make sure to invest time in the workout. For the last 8 months or so, I’m following it very sincerely. Before that, I used to skip a workout or do less of it. Now, I am more serious and intend to do it regularly.
I’ve also started running on the ground, and now I completely avoid the treadmill. Running on the ground is so much better than a treadmill. Also, I am thinking to start cycling in the morning, as now it’s not much cold. But, with all of this, I need to make sure that I don’t overdo anything.
Grind harder or push harder is BS, we need to listen to our bodies first.
FGW
3: Reading books
Let me tell you how it is healthy for me. When I read books in the early morning, I feel very calm and feel good mental peace. I believe we all need a certain activity, other than readings FGW’s blog to make us feel good.
Again, let me be very clear that reading books is healthy for me. It may or may not work for you. Maybe Netflix and chill can calm you down (Oh I enjoy Netflix), Or maybe music can calm you down. Identify, what is healthy for you.
4: Giving less time to phone
I think in today’s world when a phone has become essential, I’m one of those guys who don’t like to carry a phone everywhere (especially not in the washroom). I feel when we are doing something else like driving/riding, or like working out, we should give our attention to that task only.
I’m going gym for 6 years and I never took my phone with me. Interestingly, I had a dream last night, that I took the phone with me to the gym and that distracted me a lot. I think I am now getting blog ideas through dreams. Anyway, I feel a phone is a big distraction and this is why I try to avoid it.
And that according to me is a healthy thing.
5: Writing daily
I think I’ve shared this with a few people that nowadays I write daily. You may now think that if I write daily, where is it? Well, for the past 2 months or more, I’m writing sincerely on LinkedIn. I have tons of ideas and I like to share them. There I’m writing differently, posts there are smaller than my blogs, and that’s a challenge too.
This is healthy for me because writing has helped me a lot. Writing has connected me to so many amazing talents. I’m learning from them regularly and their input is helping me overall. I’m now more comfortable and confident with my work now.
So, these were my 5 healthy things.
⇉Now, you share your 5 healthy things. If you can’t come up with 5 things, don’t worry. Just share whatever you can. This topic will make you look into yourself and help you in identifying the things that keep you healthy.
⇉You don’t have to follow a similar pattern, Just do a blog with your own style. Add humor, add poetry, add whining, add magic, add soul, add curiosity, add your whole world, or add whatever you like. But, feel free to participate.
⇉If you are participating, make sure to write a blog on this before 27 Feb 2023.
Even if we are not following each other, I would love to read your blog on the topic.
That’s it for now, let’s meet on your blog next.
Till then, Shine and smile.

Ooo This is fun! I’ll try to do it tomorrow when my son is taking his nap 😊 Also, it’s pretty awesome that you have simple things you do for your mental health (which also very much affects physical health). Good list!
I will wait for your response then 🙂
Something really different from you!
Will share my contribution soon😊
Keep doing such surprising things👏✨
Well there one Sunday in between, so I kept it flexible 😃.
Add magic if you like 😉
Haha.. Thank you for considering that😁
Did you catch that I indirectly mentioned you in the blog?
I thought I am overthinking😅
That “add magic” thing right!?
Yeah well 🎩🧞♀️
🤷♀️😅
Thanks for the idea for my next blog post! I’d love to participate in this prompt.
I agree with all the 5 points you’ve mentioned, but what to do when I can’t find anything else as interesting as FGW’s blog posts?😜
Well it’s hard to find interesting stuff like FGW anyway 💁🏻♂️
Jk 🤪
I think you already have the answer of these. You are doing tons of healthy thing, you need to write them.
Anything that’s making you satisfy, happy, small or big counts as a healthy thing.
Write them down 🙂
Looking forward to read from you
However, now I’m scared as you write exceptionally well. 👏🏻
Yeah!! It’s very hard😂
Yes, I write about them for sure.
I’m not that great for sure but I’ll try to write the best I can. Though thanks for appreciating 😊
And I did notice that “whine” and “soul” thing. Thanks!!😜
Don’t forget to add your soul to it
I can’t even if I want to, lol!
You are doing great already!!
Now is the time to indentify your style and do what you are comfortable with. 🍦💙
Thanks a lot for this advice!!!
Ok. I’m in. Now the question is do I share my response today or tomorrow. Was going to write about Fake News today
But this seems more fun
No no, please do the fake news one. I’ll wait for it.
Also, I need to read another of your latest blog 😃.
You can write a blog on this topic anytime until 27 Feb 😊
Ok Fake News first, then this. I need to do a bit of research/background reading before I post about Dunblane Cathedral
Yes yes cool
I’m looking forward to your blogs 🔆
You can share your blog anytime until 27 feb.
The word limit, the style is upto you. 🙂
Also, have you caught the mention I indirectly made in this blog?
No, I’ll need to go back through your blog again. You had me going for a moment there, thinking there was a word count.
Just followed your LinkedIn account
Aha thanks!!
You are kind 🙂
There you’ll see different me 😃
There’s no word count or style limit.
Use any word, any style, any way.
I want a blog with your style.
I wrote the word curiousity in the blog. Did you noticed?
It was mention of you 😝
I’m honoured 😘
Oooh i loved reading this!
I would love to share a few points except I don’t really writing on this kind of topic is my niche…
So I’m just gonna share it here, I think a thing I do to keep myself healthy is meditate (I don’t do it daily but i try to). I also indulge myself in my religion which is like the ultimate best thing for healing for me.
Also since my lungs have been weak for a long time, recently I’ve started doing some exercises for it.
I also eat healthy like you!
That’s pretty much it.
Loved the post!
It’s not about the niche anyway
But Thanks for your input.
I’m happy to see your input in this.
Take care, especially of your lungs.
Remember to smile
Thanks a lot, you too!
Very good ways to stay healthy! I sadly don’t have five, and I’ve been kinda bad with sweets lately (I blame Valentine’s Day) but I’ll share some of mine here:
Body health: More active outdoors – I’ll walk to the park with my kiddos, yoga, playing with our dog.
Mind health: Reading – I’m also reading every day and learning a new hobby.
Eye Health: I also try to spend less time on electronics. Writing in a notebook versus the PC helps a lot.
I’m sure you can come up with 10 if you want
Well the ghost human bones can surely come up with it.
But thanks, for contributing.
You are doing great and I think these little things are sufficient for a wellbeing 😃
Keep enjoying them
And thanks for sharing.
🍫🍬🍭🍩🍮🍰🥧🍦🍨🍧🥮
Haha probably! Thank you, Devang! 😊
So GHB is up?
My health is largely dependent on people I surround myself with, if I happen to be among healthy people I feel normal. when I am in a sick environment I feel like I have to do something to fit in, I have to totally change who I am to please those bystanders. It’s both mental and physical wellbeing. Maybe it’s emotional vampirism or something along those lines that makes you feel miserable ‘for no reason’. I try to spend less time in unhealthy environment but it’s not always an option,
I agree!
The people we surround ourself with has a lot to do with our health.
Negative influence will make us negative.
Positivity makes us positive (even works in the case of corona) 😝
I hope you find more of a healthy environment, or you make one wherever you go.
It’s a bit of both, you create your own universe while leaving behind people and places that don’t fit into your picture
True!
I agree with that too 🙂
But yes, sometimes it’s not in our hand.
Sometimes we are stuck to such places/environments, that are not doing any good to us.
yes, it does happen sometimes
5+ things I do for my physical and mental health: I try to do them as consistently as possible, not scolding myself for the times I don’t, just joyfully and mindfully doing them when able! I try to eat healthily, take plenty of supplements to keep my immune system strong (I have a compromised one, so thus is something that works), am mindful to get plenty of sleep or my immune system struggles, try to get exercise in, do hobbies that bring me joy, choose who I wish to be around, and take soaking baths!
You are doing enough and if these things are keeping you healthy and happy, then what’s better than that 🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Devang! That’s all each of us can do, right?! Just do the best we can!
Yes that’s the best we can do
This is a great idea for a post and I think I’ll be sharing mine this week! The accusing finger scared me a little but now that I know it’s inviting I’m not too scared lol.
I never thought that finger can be used for accusing 😝.
It was supposed to be more about “you get up and take an action” 🤣
Don’t forget to add whine 🤪
Lol yes, of course 😂
That finger is accusing you that why you are the best Blogger?? 🤪
Who says I am?? 😂
I know so many people who agree with me 🙂.
Umm I don’t know about that 😅
There’s a secret society of LIFESFINEWHINERS. They talk all the good stuff about their favorite blogger. 💁🏻♂️
Is quite funny but then interesting😇
Want to try?
I would love to read your blog about healthy things 🙂
Doing it already 🤭
Mainly focused on menstruation…
Cool!!
Keep sharing
😇
Hehe whoa, I like the pointing finger!! I accept the challenge, I think I’m going to try to do your prompt! ☺️ Sounds fun! Also, I enjoyed reading about the healthy things you do, those are good habits to have! I’m glad they have been working for you ❤️
Aha so you are back !!
I would love to read your blog.
How are you?
I think the my comment on your latest blog went into the spam
I’m doing pretty well nowadays 😊 going to have a healthy and productive week! how have you been? & you’re right! your comment did go to spam 🙁 thanks for telling me, I wonder why that randomly happens sometimes
It happens often.
There’s no reason to it hahaha
But, well I am happy to let you know, I didn’t want to give image of random liking haha.
Keep smiling
Excellent, great responses! I covered health in my own fake flamenco way in my post today: https://fakeflamenco.com/blog/
Interestingly you shared a blog before commenting here 😝
I was like when did you read the blog
I had to check the spam, to make sure if you are comments are not in spam.
Thanks for participating RC 😁
I read your blog and liked it a couple days ago and resolved to link to it once my post was finished. The first link happened automatically when my article published this morning. Then I added my above comment. 🙂
Well you are kind for doing it!!
You gave me a completely fresh perspective.
There’s a diverse definition of what’s healthy.
I thought it will be hard to convince you, as it’s completely out of your style. But, you implemented your style in health blog.
😊
Happy you liked the new perspective. I figured out another connection between our blogs 🙂
Yes this was cool and unique 🥗😇🔆
@Devang – here’s mine 🙂
https://curiositiescastlesandcoffeeshops.wordpress.com/2023/02/21/what-im-doing-to-be-more-healthy/
Hi Devang. It’s a great invitation. I’m going to try to write something about healthy habits, although I don’t know whether I’ll get it done before the 27th as I have a lot of coursework to get done, and I have a few blogs about other things I intend to post this week or over the weekend. I will do my very best, though.
Just briefly, I would list these five things I do to help me to be healthy. 1) I eat a very healthy vegan diet with lots of pulses, tofu, soya and loads of fruit and vegetables. Also, vegan dairy products like yoghurt and coconut or oat milk. 2) I’ve just joined a seated yoga class for exercising my upper body. 3) I’m ‘still’ trying to drink more water. I am adding a little fruit juice to my water to start with, and that has the bonus of extra vitamin C, too. 4) I meditate regularly and find this helps me to relax, and at the same time, it gives me energy. 5) I’m trying to use my phone less these days and definitely not using it when I go to bed now, either. I used always to flick through Facebook notifications last thing at night, but have stopped doing that. (Sorry, that list wasn’t all that brief! I’m hopeless at leaving short comments, as you know 😂!!)
I think I’ve more or less covered the five things I am doing to keep my health in good condition. If I get time I will write a post on my blog about these points, but can’t lie and say I promise. I will do my best, though, as I said. Take care of yourself. 🌞✨🌛
Aha these are some solid things that you are doing 👏🏻☺️
I’m glad to learn about them.
Especially that you have started seated yoga 😃
About water intake, maybe you need fruits with high water quantity.
Using phone less is another useful thing to have.
.
Don’t worry about the blog, do what you’ve originally planned 🔆🙂
Thanks, Devang. I do still need to work on my water intake. I’m taking a mug of water up to bed with me now, and I make sure I drink it all before I get out of bed in the morning. It’s hard giving up the nighttime phone habit but I am determined. Seated yoga will be good. I’m hoping to start on Monday. Thank you for being so understanding about my blog. Take care, my friend. .🌞 ✨😊
You can try with reward system
Let’s assume you take 6 mugs of water throughout the day, you praise yourself or treat yourself, but eating something of your favorite.
and when you don’t do that, eat something you dislike.
You can even use it towards your phone viewing, like for every 1 hour of phone viewing, you drink 1 mug.
2 hours-2 mugs and so on.
You have some great ideas, Devang. I will give those a try 🌞.
Great things you covered and I agree with all of them D! Nice job! ❣️
Thanks CG! 🔆
indeed D! ❣️
I do everything in moderation, as I believe that even good things in excess is mess. So I go for walking, jogging, yoga, and even blogging in moderation. But one thing I must say is that talking with people gives enough food for both body and soul. So I spend 60 to 75 minutes daily in the evening talking to people irrespective of their age.
Moderation is the key!!!
Hey Devang, I wanted to let you know that I find it easier to read your content on WP when it’s just black and white. When I get to the actual website you spent so much time designing, I get lost. It’s not very easy to navigate for me at least. It’s not very easy to comment either, it’s easier to do on WP as you don’t have to look for it. Maybe I am just not used to lots of colors, they are sort of distracting. I know that you care about visibility and traffic, maybe a different layout will make it easier to interact with the content. BTW I love the topics you are covering, I hope to see the next prompt soon.
Someone suggested me to change the colors
And make them more related to health and wellness based.
I love your review on this blog.
It’s useful and will help me.
I will make it more friendly.
feel free to give me feedback on my layout because i have no clue…
I will check and tell you 😃
oh good
