Your Vibrant Health

Let’s explore what vibrant health looks like. And what it means for you… Because this isn’t about ‘them’. It’s about YOU. We’ll break this title down to see how each word has a tremendous impact on your own personal vibrancy. 

Your:

Every single person- so that means YOU! You may not feel that you are vibrant right now, you may feel that your illness or lack of health defines you. That’s okay. Every trigger, every negative thought, is a gift because it shows you what you are unhappy with in life. It gives you a starting point. 

You may have a heart condition that keeps you from following your dreams, you may have lost a leg in an accident. Maybe you suffer from schizophrenia. You might be addicted to drugs or alcohol. Depression and/or anxiety could be your constant companion. Yet, in any place or circumstance, vibrancy can surprise you. Your personal vibrancy is in reach, your personal brilliance and amazingness are possible. 

Vibrant:

Brilliantly colored flowers, the deep azure of the evening sky, dazzling reds, yellows, magentas, and oranges of a flaming sunset- these are some pictures that come to my mind when I think of ‘vibrant’. Something that is full of life, vigor, ALIVE! What are the amazing pictures that come to your mind? 

Vibrancy can be found in any one of us! Because vibrancy is a mindset, not a certain place defined by rigid parameters. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to be vibrant. Every. Single. Person. IS vibrant. Your vibrancy may be buried right now, but it is there. Every person is beautiful, wherever you may be in life.

Health:

Look up ‘health’ in the dictionary (or online) and you will be told that to be healthy you must not only be free from illness but also be in “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being” (World Health Organization [WHO]). And that sounds impossible to manage… Yet millions of people strive for that, wish for that, and become disillusioned and depressed because they never reach it. Perfection is pretty much not humanly possible! So, does that mean you and I must live in a shadow? Defeated? 

Absolutely not! This is why the ‘health’ definition above cannot define us. I believe health is far more nuanced than how the dictionary explains it. Or even your doctor. Or your friend, or the health magazine. Or the glamor lies of celebrities. Your definition of your health is where you decide you want to be. In whatever situation you find yourself in.

That’s why it is ‘Your Vibrant Health’. Your vibrancy, joyfulness, radiance, is up to you. One small step at a time, one goal met and conquered at a time, will get you there. It is a mindset. You can do it!!

Looking up!
