People will think that being able to
live an abundant life is something that only the "special" people can
have.
However, anyone can live abundantly,
just as long as you know what you are doing in life. Though life may not be at
an ultimate high, this does not mean that you cannot be happy.
In order to live abundantly, you will
need to start focusing more on yourself and enjoying your happiness.
Create Small Goals
When you make small goals in life,
you will realize that they will work together to still achieve one big goal.
This makes life seem easier and you are able to enjoy each day more.
Sometimes a really big goal can seem
too overwhelming and so it is a better idea to simply just focus on making
small goals on a daily basis. Naturally some people belief that when you are successful
is when you have billions of dollar in your bank account, to some people its
when you are able to marry miss world, or when you ride on the most expensive
cars and leave in exotic houses, but you have to think about it yourself that,
though this is true but what I want you to know is that leaving a successful
life is when you able to;
- be contented with what you have
-when you are able to be the source
of happiness for people around you
-this is when you refuse to fool
yourself that you have all challenges of the world
-it’s when you are to know that you
need to treat other nicely, because they are facing serious challenges in the
secret of their life.
-this is when you are able to show
others a way out even when you can’t see any way out.
-it’s when you have the strength to
know that money is not everything, because getting it doesn’t guarantee you any
happiness.
-And lastly, this is when you are
able to know that; for you to live a meaningful life you need to treat others
as nice as possible, as polite as possible, as gently as possible.

Have Time For Friends
Sometimes working too hard may not be
the answer to living abundantly. You will need to take a break and realize that
there are other things in important in life besides work and money.
When you ensure that your
relationships with the people you love are perfect, you will be able to focus
more on your work. This is one of the secret of life you must discover,
sometimes ago when I was chatting with one of my friend during holidays, he
made me to know that ‘it’s good to spend time with other aspect of life rather
than work or study alone, because life is not only contain what you make but
how interestingly you have successfully spend every bit of your life’, to some
people this is not so but the truth is that “a successful life contains a hard
work and some portion of fun in it”.
The
fact here is that we need to create a loving atmosphere everywhere we go so
that we will also dwell in sweet world. I want you to know that as we grow old
there is more desire for intimacy and friendliness in our surroundings that is
why late death of an husband might lead to quick death of the wife; that is why
finding quality time for friends and family is a huge steps to a healthy life
and successful lifetime.
This is something that a lot of
workaholics forget and it leads to more problems in other areas of life. All
said and done, what’s important is to separate time for funny moments with
people and nature around you.
Relax and Exercise
When you are feeling too stressed,
sometimes all you need to do is let it out with some sort of activity. Whether
it is exercise or simply just going to sleep, doing things to help relax
yourself will allow you to get back to work.
It’s
amazing to let you know that there are some people who doesn’t know how to take
care of themselves, what they only do is to maltreat themselves, how can
someone maltreat him/herself? Not having time for exercise, some people don’t
know how to appreciate themselves from little thing they have done, some people
are too busy to look at themselves and say “I have tried” etc. all these are
ways someone can maltreat him/her self.
Why exercise?
With different health histories and treatment needs, no
two HIV-positive People are alike. But there’s one factor we all have in
common: the need for exercise to stay healthy. Not only is working out good for
general health and well-being; it may help prevent or reverse some
complications of HIV infection and treatment,
Including body fat changes (lipodystrophy) and increased
weight, as well as higher cholesterol, triglyceride and blood sugar levels.
Exercise can also:
■ Increase bone strength, muscle mass and endurance.
■ Strengthen the immune system, as well as the heart and
lungs.
■ Improve appetite, sleep, mood, energy level and sex
drive.
What kind of exercise is best?
Generally speaking, there are two types of exercise:
■ Cardiovascular, such as running or walking, gets your
heart and lungs
pumping,
helps control body weight and burns body fat.
■ Strength training, with weights or resistance, tones
and strengthens
muscles.
Doing both is ideal. But you can’t go wrong by doing at
least one regularly.
How do I start an exercise program?
Check with your doctor, nurse practitioner or health care
provider before
Beginning an exercise regimen. This is especially true if
you have a personal or family
History of heart problems, breathing difficulties or
light-headedness.
Pick activities you like. Everyone is different. Some
like exercising in the
Morning and others during their lunch hour or at night.
Some like sweating alone
while others like team sports or gym partners. Be sure to
start at a level suited to you.
When in doubt, ask your health care provider or an
exercise professional (such as a
Certified trainer at a gym), or visit www.poz.com and
search under “fitness.”
how much should I work out?
For cardio, try to get your heart rate up three to five
times a week for 20
to 60 minutes.
There are lots of ways to do this: walking your dog,
jogging, swimming,
cycling, hiking, dancing, aerobics classes and so on. If
you can’t talk while you’re
doing it, you’re working too hard—but if you can sing,
you’re not working hard enough.
As for strength training, fitness clubs and gyms offer a
variety of weights and
machines.
But there are plenty of tools you can use at home,
including dumbbells and
Resistance bands, and you can do callisthenics such as
sit ups and squats anywhere.
Is exercise safe?
Yes, but it’s important that you know your limits.
Overtraining can be
stressful on the heart, cause you to lose muscle mass,
and lead to fatigue. Pushing
yourself too hard—lifting too much weight or not paying
careful attention to your form
and posture—can increase your risk of injury. To decrease
the chance of hurting
yourself, stretch and warm up before you start, and
stretch and cool down afterward.
Don’t forget to get enough sleep; eat healthfully; drink
water before, during
and after working out; and listen to your body—it will
tell you to slow down, speed up
or take a break on days when you’re not feeling well.
There are a variety of stress relieving exercises
including:
Jogging
Walking (Don’t forget your dog!)
Yoga
Biking
Swimming
Walking fast
Water Aerobics
Riding bike on level ground
Pushing a lawn mower
Playing doubles tennis
Most people need to get more exercise anyway, so this is
a great way to kill
two birds with one stone.
Not only are you relaxing and relieving stress, but you are also
getting in shape.
Exercise can also help you increase your productivity and focus by
more than 30%. Apart from all these, for us to have a
health and fulfilling life into old age.
