0 1 healthy eating
As a nutritionist, her own experience is: "The secret of health is to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and dairy products."
These foods contain plant protein, various microorganisms, crude fiber and vitamins.
If you like dessert, you can "indulge" once in a while and concentrate on enjoying the food. "Don't waste your calorie quota on bad food." It is also possible to meet the needs of taste buds. As long as you resume healthy eating the next day, you don't have to feel guilty.
"You don't need to make every meal perfect, and so does your life."
It's too grounded People should not only be self-disciplined, but also enjoy the fun of food properly, without worrying that everything is perfect. As long as it is better than more than 80% of people!
02 Exercise habit
As for exercise habits, she used to feel uncomfortable because of excessive exercise, so she told us,
To learn to listen to your body, there is no need to force yourself to do exercises that make you feel bad.
Yes, it is not cost-effective to insist on a sport that makes us miserable. We can find a more comfortable and enjoyable exercise mode that suits us, so as to achieve the goal of "persisting in exercise".
Positive attitude
Here, Meyer also mentioned the profound influence of her mother. Her mother moved to the United States from South Africa, a familiar life circle, in her eighties, but the old man began to paint and make various handicrafts and works of art, not afraid of failure or aging. Her mother's example strength gave her a positive attitude.
She said: 70+ years old, she thinks getting old is a good thing. As we grow older, we will become smarter and more confident.
She wrote: "Let every decade of life be better than the last decade!" "
These are all worth learning.
04 interpersonal relationship
Meyer has a big family of more than 40 people, who often come from all over the world to get together and travel in a hurry, taking care of each other without affecting each other, and everyone can like to do what they like. This harmonious family is undoubtedly the source of happiness.
And she told us that if you meet people with negative energy and always complain about social interaction, please stay away as soon as possible.
05? The importance of planning
Life is a process of making plans and carrying them out. Meyer's life is a planned life. So is the original intention of the title.
From her family background to her own struggle, she can't do without this plan.
So she warned us: "I just keep working hard, make new plans, and then move on."
"Whether it is health, career or life, there is no one-step solution in the world. What you can do is to work hard, be optimistic and treat others sincerely. You also need to have enough common sense and the ability to make plans. "
These life insights deserve my practice and reflection.
