Basically right now my life sucks and so does my health, most of it for reasons which are beyond my control. At least some of it is on the path to changing for the better, however, which will make transitioning into a healthier and more natural lifestyle much more doable. In the meantime, I'm working my way toward improving what I can and learning things for the future, even if I'm not able to use them right away. This includes pretty much all aspects of health both mental and physical, as well as home living and consumer choices that are more cost-efficient and eco-friendly.
Small steps that I can take in my current situation:
-For my physical health, I've been reducing animal products and added sugars in my diet and moving away from anything artificial in both food and bath/body products. I'm going to try to get more exercise outside of work (even so work is physically exhausting, I don't like sitting on my butt all day when I'm off).
-Mental/emotional health is a trickier one. Stress is my number one problem right now, and there's not much I can do to reduce or avoid it. My job and living situation don't afford me much human interaction, much less positive interaction, so attempting to be more active in online communities and spend more time away from home (not including work) when possible is about the best I can think of.
-As far as lifestyle goes, there's not much I can do since I don't have my own house, but I do recycle when possible and try to be mindful about the things I use/buy.
So who else has an interest in more natural approaches to health and lifestyle, and what do you do (or want to do) about it? If you have resources or information to share, those are also welcome.
