A healthy mind leads us to a healthy body

Official dgivens

A healthy mind leads to a healthy body, which leads to a happy life. No matter what age you are, it is never too late for you to start prioritizing your health and well-being.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if I said that golf is one of my favorite activities. I am a huge golf fan and I like to play it every chance I get. The calming vibes of being out on a beautiful golf course make the experience that much more enjoyable for me. As a photographer, I have a great deal of interest in being able to capture some great photo opportunities. We are a family of golfers so we have a lot of fun and don’t take it too seriously when we are out playing.

In addition, I enjoy spending time in the pool. Usually I’m not big into swimming but just relaxing by the pool or in the pool is where I feel like I’m at my best.

If you had to pick one way to keep active, what would it be? Drop us a message in the comments.

One small step

Official dgivens

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

It is one of the smallest improvements that you can make in your life is to start a daily gratitude practice as a small but valuable change. Make an effort every day to reflect on the things in your life that you are grateful for and write them down in a journal as often as possible. This can help you cultivate a more positive attitude towards life, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve the quality of your life in general. Creating a habit like this is not difficult because it doesn’t require a lot of time or effort, but it can have a huge impact on the way you think and on how you feel.

Trail joy

The perfect way to reconnect with nature, relieve stress, and improve your overall well-being is to hike. It offers a variety of experiences that are both fulfilling and energizing, like scenic vistas and hidden waterfalls.

The main benefit of hiking is that you can disconnect from the daily grind. You’ll often find that hiking takes you to remote and pristine environments far from city noise and pollution. It’s a great way to recharge and rekindle your sense of wonder.

In addition to reducing stress, hiking is enjoyable. Nature has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improving mental health. The beauty of nature and the ability to focus on the present are hallmarks of hiking, which is particularly therapeutic.

Hiking offers an excellent physical workout. No matter how challenging your hike is, hiking is a low-impact exercise that restores cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and increases flexibility.

So what’s the best way to get started hiking? The good news is that you don’t have to be an expert or invest in expensive gear to get started. Easy-to-moderate trails are perfect for beginners, and many parks offer guided hikes led by naturalists. A pair of sturdy shoes, some comfy clothes, and a sense of adventure are all you need.

Hiking is a joy that has many benefits. Get away from technology, reduce stress or improve your health. Hiking is a great way to make those changes.

Get your hiking boots on, grab a bottle of water, and hit the trails! Your enjoyment may surprise you.

Stretching is amazing

Official dgivens

Regular stretching has amazing benefits

Our bodies need to be taken care of every day, but it is easy to forget. Work, family, and other commitments can make exercising difficult. The simple act of stretching can have a profound effect on our health.

Physical and mental health are improved by stretching, despite its reputation as a warm-up activity. No matter what your profession, stretching helps you stay flexible, relaxed, and focused.

Increasing our flexibility is one of the most obvious benefits of stretching. We may not realize it, but flexibility is essential to our health. Our muscles and joints are less prone to injury when we’re flexible, and we’re better able to reach for things on high shelves.

However, improving flexibility is only the beginning. We get more oxygen and nutrients from stretching when our circulation is increased. Our energy levels and overall health are improved, and diabetes and hypertension symptoms can be reduced.

Stress and tension can also be reduced by stretching. Our bodies tend to tense up when stressed, which can worsen our mental and physical health. As we stretch, tension is released, making us more relaxed and calm. Having better sleep can reduce anxiety and depression risks, and even improve our thinking.

In addition, stretching can actually improve our athletic performance. By stretching, we increase our range of motion and reduce our risk of injury. It is especially helpful for activities that require a lot of jumping or running, since it will reduce the risk of strains and sprains.

In conclusion, stretching is incredibly effective for our mental and physical health. Whether we want to improve our flexibility, reduce stress, or improve athletic performance, stretching can help. Simple but powerful, stretching can produce incredible results when included in our daily routine.

Presence of Joy

Official dgivens

There is always joy in my heart. When I am filled with joy I am able to feel a sense of wellbeing that makes my life a little brighter even when there are tough times. Don’t let go of your joy.

A happy and fulfilling life requires the presence of joy. A feeling of happiness that comes from within whenever we experience a positive event or simply take in the beauty of life. Our happiness can come from spending time with family and friends, pursuing our passions, achieving our goals, or just enjoying the simple things in life. Our joy spreads to those around us, improving our relationships and deepening our connections. A joyful mindset can help us overcome negative feelings and improve our mental and physical health. In the end, joy is not just an emotion, but a state of being that can be cultivated every day.

Solve that problem

Official dgivens

Problem solving with creativity

Creative problem solving requires an open mind, which means that you are not afraid to consider more than one solution. Furthermore, you have to be open to the possibility that there are solutions to problems you thought were unsolvable.

It is important to have a solid understanding of the problem. By understanding how it works, you will have a better foundation for resolving the issue.

Make a note of all of your constraints and assumptions. Our ability to view possible solutions is sometimes impeded by these assumptions. There must be an identification of which assumptions are valid and which assumptions must be addressed.

Always keep a creative, logical voice in the back of your mind. It is important to think about how you might make a prospective solution work when someone suggests one. Be creative when it comes to your ideas. Look for weakness in that resolution at the same time.

At any given time, more than one solution may be in development. It is important to keep track of all the solutions and their development. Don’t forget that a problem may have more than one solution.

Be open to new ideas at all times. Listen to all the ideas that each individual has, as it will only benefit you in the long run. Especially if the person you’re talking to has experience solving problems similar to yours. An organized group reflection on the topic would be much more beneficial.

You need to be patient during this process. You will always be able to find a solution if you keep trying. Keep in mind that no invention has ever been invented on the first attempt.

Go big

Official dgivens

Sometimes we get caught up in competitions or our egos scream for attention when all we really want is to unleash our brilliant gifts. Your brilliance can’t be taken with you, so aim high.

Change can be hard for some people. We often rely on what we’ve learned as children to survive, thrive, and fit in with others. Many people have fought for survival and every scrap that came their way, while some have adapted to change and thrived in the midst of change. It takes work to unlearn these old beliefs and dismantle them.

There is always room for win-win. You can create amazing changes when you are able to see beyond the ego and recognize the abundance that is available. A team with people like this is uplifted, the energy soars, and amazing creativity emerges. In a culture driven by scarcity and competition, this is much harder to do, sustain, and elevate.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that the high road is often the better path. It’s not about judging others wrong or believing yourself better. It’s about knowing your truth. Stay true to yourself. Stay away from competition. Visualize the vision, experience the outcome, and give freely what you have to offer the world. Nothing from this life can be taken with you. Be what you can for the world. You lose what you don’t give.

Bringing about positive change and serving others becomes less important than how it is accomplished. Even though you may feel hurt when others criticize your ideas or take credit for your innovations, remembering the benefits for all will often ease the pain. Your key is evaluating whether it is serving a common good before offering yourself. Being grateful for your contributions would bring you peace. The time may come to move on to a more collaborative team and a more receptive and appreciative audience.

Achieving your purpose and living your passion will be rewarding. The recognition will come. It is the heart & soul that will always triumph over the mind & ego. As you travel along the journey of your career and life, you’ll need to stay true to your inner brilliance. Make sure these negative experiences don’t undermine your worth. The negative experience is not you. It is often the negativity we experience from others that reflects more on them than on us.

Our lenses, gifts, wiring, and experiences differ. Diversities are gifts of life which bring us together and create a society, a solution, a technology, etc., for the benefit of all. Be confident when others fail to see your vision. By staying true to yourself, you’ll attract the right people, the right opportunities, and the right support. Be humble and aim high.

Be the best life

Official dgivens

The best life is one where we no longer strive for more. Our sense of contentment is a reflection of how we should view ourselves and what we are given. It is self-defeating to be anxious for more or to envy others. When we are constantly hoping for more happiness, we are in a constant state of frustration.

In other words, what matters most? Not too much, not too little.

Now is a great time to appreciate what we have. Besides life itself, there is family, friends, and everything else that surrounds us naturally. All we have to do is take a moment to look around. It may be time to make a gratitude list of all the good things we have to be grateful for.

Do you have people in your life that you would miss terribly if they were no longer there? A walk offers many things to appreciate and feel good about, don’t you think? The flowers, trees, birds, and clouds in the sky offer a feeling of calmness and harmony. It could be a caterpillar crossing the sidewalk or a neighbor waving at you. There’s nothing more adorable than a cute pup or kid enjoying a special moment.

The happiness, peace, and enjoyment of life now just makes sense if you are satisfied and at peace with oneself and others.
