At Chicago Tai Chi, I guide you to:
Move Your Body,
Deeply Relax,
Achieve Vibrant Health.
Today, I want to pick up on that last point. Vibrant Health.
What does vibrant health mean to you?
If you have a clear concept of vibrant health, I'd love to hear it. Just drop it in the comments below.
If you don't have a clear concept of vibrant health, let me share with you mine.
What is "Health"?
First, let's start with a definition of "health." The World Health Organization's definition provides an excellent starting point.
According to WHO, "health" means:
"a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
I like that a lot. "Health" means not being sick plus experiencing physical, mental, and social wellness.
Then what about "vibrant health?"
What is "Vibrant Health"?
To WHO's definition, I add the highlighted language:
"a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, with the energy and mobility to enjoy an active life."
So vibrant health means:
- You are healthy and
- Have the energy and mobility to enjoy moving your body
That's what vibrant health means to me.
Helping adults achieve vibrant health is a main focus of what I do at Chicago Tai Chi.
A question for you—
I encourage you to consider this question—
"Am I experiencing vibrant health right now?"
If yes, great! Keep doing what you're doing.
If no, what's in your way?
Are you physically or mentally ill? Care from appropriate medical professionals is essential.
Are you physically and mentally healthy, but not enjoying an active life?
That's where I can help.
