I was always in a sport and moving from place to place. I felt that since I was always active physically, I never thought about other things like eating and mental awareness. I danced my whole life and it was very serious. Once I was a sophomore in high school, my mental health had taken a toll and I decided it was best for me to quit. This was a very tough decision since I had been dancing since I was 3 years old, but I knew I was doing what was right for me. I wanted to continue to stay active so I started going to the gym and working out at home, but that was nothing compared to what we would do at dance. This is when I realized that not only did I need to continue to focus on staying active, but also take care of what I am eating, and where I am at mentally. This was when I started finding an interest in \u201chealthier lifestyles.\u201d Something I have learned during my process of trying to be healthier is that you will not notice much physical change unless you are in a good place mentally. Follow me on this journey that has taught me life lessons as well as certain aspects of who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/healthylifestyles\/files\/2022\/02\/cropped-healthy-lifestyle-1-1024x829.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14\" width=\"768\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/healthylifestyles\/files\/2022\/02\/cropped-healthy-lifestyle-1-1024x829.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/healthylifestyles\/files\/2022\/02\/cropped-healthy-lifestyle-1-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/healthylifestyles\/files\/2022\/02\/cropped-healthy-lifestyle-1-768x622.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/healthylifestyles\/files\/2022\/02\/cropped-healthy-lifestyle-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up I lived a pretty active life.
