I got interested in living a healthy lifestyle because I feel as a college student it's something most people take for granted. I know for me personally growing up I was involved with a lot of physical activities. I did everything from t-ball to gymnastics and soccer to 4-H activities. When people think of "healthy" usually you think of working out and eating right. I see it as way more than that. Once I got out of those activities I noticed a change. Not only did it effect me physically but I think in the long run going from being so busy to having so much free time really impacted my life.
When I look back now I realize that when I was involved in organizations or sports I was much happier and entertained then than I was at a certain time in my life. It may sound silly but there was a time I wasn't involved and I just felt really down. Going from being involved, making tons of friends from all your activities to not doing anything can be hard. When I got to high school I wasn't very involved even though I always said I would be. It wasn't until my Junior year that it hit me I had made a mistake. My senior year was a different story. I got more involved in the organizations that I was already in. It was my 3rd year being volleyball manager, I was made Photo Editor of my yearbook staff, and I was a section leader in my choir. I also got involved in A+ Program teachers assist., Key Club & Future Business Leaders of America. I can honestly say just by getting involved it helped me "get healthy." Not just in the sense of "I'm going to work out" but as being the person I wanted to be.
When I graduated and moved to college I got involved right away. It has made my stay at my University so much better. Yes, it can get hectic at times but I feel that it's worth it in the end. I decided to make this blog about "Living a better lifestyle" because I want people to know that there are many different ways to "get healthy" and I'm here to give you ideas.
