Stronger or Weaker

Written By Dominic Marino

Every choice I make either puts me on the path of getting stronger or getting weaker.

My thoughts, actions and beliefs contribute to who I want to be.

By selecting all the traits that I admire and making them the traits that I want to achieve, I make better choices for my health and happiness.

This year, I made health and happiness my two favorite hobbies. Like any hobby, I look for creative ways to have fun while improving my skills and knowledge. Yes, there are struggles and challenges, but that is a part of the process. The real trick is to add one action that will improve your health and your happiness at the same time. Although a pastry might give instant joy, it is not a food item that promotes healing or will make me stronger.

I incorporate this hobby-mindset into the my six life elements.

Mind-Body-Spirit-Social-Finance-Work

As we are all different and we are all starting in different places, this health and happiness hobby-mind set will vary with each individual.

Below are some general examples of how I have integrated the fun energy from my two favorite hobbies into my six life elements.

  • Mind: Storytelling; Writing; Book Reading; Meditation

  • Body: Running; Unicycling; Whole-Food, Plant-Based Meals; Body Weight Challenges

  • Spirit: Daily practice of Gratitude, Peacefulness, Joy/Fun, and Prayer; Being in Nature

  • Social: Dancing; Listening; Connecting with Family and Friends

  • Finance: Calculating Expenses and Household Assets; Sharing; Spending

  • Work: Learning and Sharing Health and Happiness Information

If you are interested in making Health and Happiness your new hobbies, you can start by adding one thing to your daily to-do list that will simultaneously contribute to improving both your health and happiness.
