THINGS I’VE GAINED FROM TAKING UP #AIAVITALITYMY
10:30 AM
It’s been about 6 months or more since I started my journey with AIA
Vitality and I’ve made some changes in my life that rendered me with positive
results (that includes me being a better version of a couch potato lol). Apart
from the physical changes, there are some shifts in the way I’m living – there
are more positive points now and I can’t be any happier with this new shift in
life balance. Here are some of the things that I have changed in my life.
HEALTHIER, BETTER
LIFESTYLE
My previous lifestyle was not extremely horrible - I eat well, I
move all the time but I was not very healthy or fit either. As much as I
indulge in good food, I am now more cautious and aware of the things I put into
my body and I try to move more on a daily basis. I cook more often, and make
choices to eat a well-balanced diet most times and I’m more active in terms of
doing exercises and going to the gym. Who would have thought that this girl who
terminated her previous gym membership would get back to weekly workouts and is
even willing to try out new activities such as cycling, dancing, boxing and
more! Times have definitely changed.
NEW FRIENDSHIPS &
BEING A BETTER FRIEND
I’ve also made new friends and got closer to existing friends with
common interests now. We’re no longer just seeing each other for special
occasions, but we have even made it a point to work out and attend fitness
classes together. It’s been fun to encourage and watch each other’s journey, as
we get fitter and healthier. It is very refreshing to be with people who want
to see the best in you and constantly encourage each other to achieve a common
goal.
DISCOVERING NEW THINGS
I discovered that I am not weak as I thought I was, hence I stopped
making excuses of things I thought I couldn’t do. I didn’t realize that having
a more positive mindset also helped me to push myself further – instead of
saying “I don’t think I can”, I now say “I’ll try my best” and it usually puts
me steps ahead whenever I achieve something further than my initial goal.
LOVING MYSELF BETTER
Ultimately, I have learnt to love myself better – to take care of
myself emotionally and physically and be at peace with most things. I am open
to push myself more than I use to, but also accept the results that comes with
the effort I put into something be it in the gym or in life. As my yoga
instructor said “whatever you practice on the mat can also be applied in life”
and I live by that now.
