Seeing a repetitive occurrence of somewhat poor health conditions within my family honestly shocked me to the point that it now motivates me to have a decent perspective on how to live a healthier lifestyle. While doing a family tree, I’ve discovered the common health complications that my family usually suffers from is high blood pressure, lung and heart disease. While having a conversation with my parents over the phone, I’ve discovered that most of these health issues could have been prevented if some family members were to take better care of themselves. For instance, my grandfather was committed to the awful lifestyle of smoking cigarettes which eventually led him to have bad lungs that gave him the disease. My grandmother was one to stress and worry over everything leading her to have some awful issues with her heart which shortened her life. The environment could have also affected my family members considering they could have suffered from second hand smoke or eating poorly because of not being able to afford healthier foods that were available, thus causing their body to accept horrible food choices that led to more consequences than benefits if there were any.

Before, I’ve never paid that much attention to how important my social, emotional, environmental, and spiritual health played a huge part into my life. Now that I have a more constructed idea on what’s important to me and what isn’t in my day by day routines, I plan on eliminating any negativity that may approaches me so that I can live a more happier, care-free agenda. I have also came to the understanding that my Physical health is a huge priority on the counts of living a happier life. I now have to listen to my body when there is something wrong and try to make different changes if I feel slightly Ill and not just ignore these symptoms and pretend like there isn’t anything wrong at all. My mental health is a major key as well. I need to be more open to loving and responsible relationships and try to decrease behaviors that will cause problems. For instance, on the topics of anger that I cannot control at times, I’m aware that I do not think before I talk which leads to my unconscious opinions being unfiltered and verbally delivers messages that can lead me into a lot of trouble and possibly hurt feelings unintentionally. An aspect of my physical checklist that I really need to concentrate on is my physical health. While completing a lifestyle observation, I’ve realized that I am not too satisfied with my body size and weight and that I need to learn how to have a strong force of willpower when it comes to eating unhealthy foods. If I do not take better care of myself I will potentially have the same type of unhealthy conditions that some of my family has, such as high blood pressure. In example instead of going for fried foods I should typically settle for grilled and baked goods that are typically good for the heart. The connections appear to be pretty accurate, I scored pretty high on my lifestyle worksheet which means I am overall in good standings with most categories of how I am live with my routines However, some huge changes need to be in order in order to maintain this type of lifestyle
