So You’ve Achieved Your Health Goals, What Next?

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

If you are confident that your health is in peak condition, congratulations! But the fact is that while we've all got health goals to achieve in life if we've hit a baseline level of health, there's always something else that we can chase. So if you really have got to the level, strength, size, or vitality that you want, what have you got to focus on now? 

Passing On the Benefits to Others

We all want to achieve a peak level of health, and if we've hit a point where we are able to stay strong and healthy while everyone else around is not, it's time to share the love and knowledge! Sometimes, the solutions are simple. All we need to do is to stay hydrated or eat a little bit better. But the fact is that if you are not actually living by these rules yourself, it's always a good idea to improve your health a tiny bit more as well. You can easily get a water filter to get some cleaner water, or you can always eat a little bit better. When we feel we have hit peak health, now it's time to set an example, especially if we've got friends or family that also want to be in this position.

Improving Your Mental Health

Whatever goals we had a year ago, we can always benefit from fine-tuning our mental health. A lot of people use getting fit as a way to challenge themselves and overcome certain mental obstacles in themselves. This means that when we are looking at being a healthier version of ourselves, it's not just the physical aspects that we need to focus on. If you have really hit your goals, now is the perfect opportunity to start fine-tuning those thoughts and what actually drove you to become the healthy version of yourself in the first place. A lot of people undergo a transformation mentally when they make physical changes but now is the perfect opportunity to start thinking about how you can be stronger in your mind as well.

The Art of Maintaining

A lot of people hit their physical goals and then think it's time to ramp up their efforts. But some people want to stay in a certain weight zone or aesthetic. These people focus on maintaining, rather than doing anything else. But this is where things can get a bit tricky. If you are constantly focused on maintaining, you can easily start to get into the mindset where you can take a day off from the gym or have a cheat day here and there. The problem is that these things start to build up. The art of maintaining is about understanding what will keep you within those parameters you had originally set for yourself. And this is why your physical health and mental health are important as a team. The fact is that when we have achieved our physical health goals, this is where we've got to start on a whole new journey.
