If you missed my earlier articles onThe Top 3 Habits of Highly Fit and Healthy People and The 4 Forgotten Habits of Highly Fit and Healthy People, you can read them in the following links.
I received great comments and feedback from my readers and clients on all the 7 habits of highly fit and healthy people.
However, deep in my mind, I feel something is still missing. Some of my clients say the same thing. I listed eating, exercise, making time, setting goal, water intake, no-dieting mindset and tracking program as the top 7 healthy habits — look pretty complete.
So, what else is missing?
After some thoughts and soul searching, I discover that these healthy habits are more about external changes and less about habitual programming and mindset changes for sustaining long term success. They’re more about an individual’s own behavioral changes, than influence from the environment.
Here it is that I name the 8th Missing Habit of Highly Fit and Healthy People:
#8 Habit: Sense of Involvement and Community
If you have top 7 habits and become too obsessed about them, you become a gym rat. You turn into a healthy freak. You isolate yourself from the outside world. You care only about yourself.
You may have a physically fit and healthy body but are lack of emotional health and maturity.
Highly fit and healthy people help and share with other people their success by promoting healthy and active lifestyle. They’re involved in their community in many different ways.
One of them is to participate in community services or charity fundraising events that benefit the disadvantages or for good causes. They have healthy hearts, and more than that, they have BIG hearts that serve and help the community.
If you resonate with me, now go out to run 5K charity races or serve the spaghetti meals.
