Quality Of Life - Part 2

cont'd from May 6th ...

Social Relations
Sexual Functioning
Physical Functioning
Emotional Wellbeing
Standard of Living
Occupation
Health



Out of these examples listed… Do you think that increasing your physical fitness could link you to more life satisfaction in the each of categories listed???…. I believe so.

In reviewing the literature, I’ve found that the activity theorists say that happiness and pleasure arises from the behavior, and not just that of the endpoints. What this means is: actually riding the bike, skating the wall, running the trails, hitting the ball, punching the bag, surfing the wave, opening the door for someone, talking to others, liking your job, … or just the plain act of “doing” and “liking” will make a difference in your perception in your quality of life. So, get out there, pick something you like, and do it.

Furthermore …Feedback / Praise / Reinforcement are useful tools in goal progression, and using them will help you gauge the difference of how you perceive your quality of life. Feedback about your body; feedback about how it moves; feedback about your mental quickness; and feedback about how you are improving are what will enhance your self efficacy and belief that you can get what you want out of life.

So put simply, learning about your body, and having positive reinforcement about your body through the act of doing, self discovery, or experiential learning is essential in moving forward to attaining your goals.

I am the founder of the Witness Your Fitness wellness clinic and daily help people get the feedback and empower them gain the control of the essential components of their quality of life. I provide the feedback and reinforcement that makes progression simple and easy. Although you’ll still have to do the hard work; I can make it fun.

My goal for you is to not only add years to your life, but also add life to those years. If you really think about your best life in 10 / 20 / 30 or 50 years down the road from now, what do you see? If it includes walking up and down stairs, getting in and out of a car, getting your groceries, cooking, enjoying recreation, or getting yourself to the pub or any other social events, you’d better start investing in your wellness now through physical activity .

It’s what I do. I can help.
