Can changing how we think and what we do affect our quality of life (QOL)? Each one of us has to decide for ourselves.
Oxford dictionary describes QOL as the standard of health, comfort, and happiness.
For some of us, we don't have the health, money, or opportunity to travel any distance, either short or long. Some in here post those trips as their QOL and I enjoy looking at them, but not all of us can or want to do that. perhaps I can suggest other ways we can achieve QOL? It is your choice.
1. As a nutritionist, I would advise focusing on healthy eating. and address any nutritional deficiencies.
2. Spend time in nature.
3, Practice "grounding" which is walking barefooted on the earth. (If you get the chance look up grounding to see all the health benefits).
4. Alter your way of thinking. Be more positive.
5. Read
6. Listen to music and/or learn a musical instrument.
7. Draw or paint.
8. Help another. Helping is healing.
9. Practice personal hygiene and get dressed each day. Staying in your PJs and robe is not always a good thing to do.
10. Exercise, Walking is free and easy with so many health benefits.
11. Take pictures with a camera or cell phone camera.
12. Pray or meditate.
13. Mindful breathing.
14. Say a mantra. Mine is "I am healing, healthy and happy,"
15. "Your wound/cancer is not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility," (unknown)
" There is a crack in everything. that's how the light gets in" (Lenard Cohen)
" Be the rainbow in the storm of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away and tints tomorrow with prophetic rays." (Lord Byron)
