Healthiness

In order to live a good and meaningful life, there are certain non-materialistic things you must have, or will at least help. You need mental, emotional, and moral health. It also seems to help if you have physical, social, and spiritual health. In class, we have been doing many activities to test the theory that in order to live a good and meaningful life you must have those things. We rolled on top of each other, played tag inside, and outside, we put each other through therapy sessions, and more. What I have decided is that when you are physical, you are much happier, but it also bleeds into the mental, and emotional health, because you feel better. This weekend, I did nothing but play basketball and just walk around. I was out the entire time just being social and having a good time. I honestly felt like I was high off life. It was such a good feeling that I actually wanted to do homework. Everything is connected. My theory goes as follows: If you are physical, you feel mentally and emotionally better because you feel good about yourself and that you are actually doing something useful in your life. Not only do you feel better about yourself, but you feel like you want to do better, like me wanting to do my homework. That’s moral health. That also bleeds into social health because you want to do good for people, and to make friends because you feel good about yourself and you want people to see it. But to top it all off this all leads into spiritual health—Everyone wants to believe in something, and wants to know that their life has some meaning to it, that’s it’s just for no reason. That its for a greater good, that they were put on earth for a reason. If you enjoy life more, because of the healthiness I talked about, you will want to know the actual meaning of things, and that’s where religion ties in. There are many things that help to make life better. Some people find fake reasons to make themselves “think” that they have meaningful lives, but if you just take time to do the simple things you know you should do anyway—be physical, eat right, etc. your life will be meaningful, and you will feel better.
