A healthy Mind in a Healthy body

A healthy Mind in a Healthy body

July 29, 2018

(September 28, 2014) 

(June 24, 2014) 

As a teenager I suffered from body image and struggled with self-acceptance because of the pressure involved in growing up, and other personal factors. 

As a young woman, my main concern was to "look good," but I had a hate love relationship with food (I still do!) 

Later in life, my main inclination was to feel good and be healthy, to be physically strong and to always have a resilient body.

Now, my first and foremost priority, is to face and deal with the smaller little issues that come with aging, overcome them and keep going Adelante, moving forward and never giving up.

Every time I go through a new trial, I learn of new ways to get the best out of it and be grateful of how noble and loyal my temple has been to me. It has never given up despite the constant temporary setbacks. Every single time there's a catch-22, my body has rolled with the punches like a true and unscathed warrior! 

As an adult, I learned to truly love everything that comes with it at every stage because this is the engine I was given, and there's a reason for it. 

My body, mind, heart, soul and spirit are all linked together. Each one is an element to a chain that cannot function on its own. Each link needs the support from the other to remain resilient at all moments. That is why I always pray for overall health to avoid being corrupted and to truly have full peace of mind.  

“You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,

and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts

that can endure any kind of toil,

that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks

the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than

the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.

What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;

For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue.”

“Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano.

fortem posce animum mortis terrore carentem,

qui spatium vitae extremum inter munera ponat

naturae, qui ferre queat quoscumque labores,

nesciat irasci, cupiat nihil et potiores

Herculis aerumnas credat saevosque labores

et venere et cenis et pluma Sardanapalli.

monstro quod ipse tibi possis dare; semita certe

tranquillae per virtutem patet unica vitae.”

–Roman poet Juvenal (10.356-64)

“Se debe orar a los dioses que nos concedan una mente sana en un cuerpo sano.

Pedir un alma fuerte que carezca de miedo a la muerte,

que considere el espacio de vida restante entre los regalos de la naturaleza

que pueda soportar cualquier clase de esfuerzos,

que no sepa de ira, y esté libre de deseos

y crea que las adversidades y los trabajos terribles de Hércules son mejores que las satisfacciones, la fastuosa cena y la cama placentera de plumas de Sardanápalo.

Te muestro lo que tú mismo puedes darte, con certeza de que la virtud es la única senda para una vida tranquila."

Massi Arias

September 8, 2017

I love seeing young talent, health and fitness talent in particular. Massi Arias is living proof that Health and fitness come in different shapes, sizes, age, and colors. She is young, beautiful, and full of stamina!

When I read about Latinas and fitness is very fulfilling because I get motivated. Many of us lack the discipline necessary to remain healthy. We struggle day by day. It is NOT easy to be caught amidst the Latino and American culture because we not only integrate our highly fat concentrated food, but we also adopt other greasy and low-quality foods.

These success stories also help me realize that I am not alone in this world. It is a daily battle that all of us are walking together. It is the right shot in the arm to get going since I’ve been skipping the gym quite a bit!!!
