• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm looking for some advice on how to maintain my physical health while managing a very busy schedule. Between work, family commitments, and other responsibilities, I find it challenging to make time for regular exercise and healthy eating.

What are some practical tips or routines that have worked for you in staying healthy despite a hectic lifestyle? I can say now that this job the one which I am doing is affecting my mental health as well because I have to sit in front of a computer screen all the time like 15 hours a day! Any specific exercises, meal prep strategies, or time management techniques would be greatly appreciated.

You must have at least 1 day off from work because if you don't, I advice you to quit that job or business because that's probably the best health and spiritual advice I can give you.

But if you have 1 day off. You can do cardio exercise on your day off for at least 2 hours straight like cycling or elliptical bike or walking on the treadmill (inclined).

On your workdays, you can do just one 15 minutes session of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) each day for 4 days each week. HIIT can be cycling, elliptical bike or running on the treadmill (inclined). Do HIIT before you take a shower.

You should be able to insert 15 to 20 minutes of exercise on some days of despite a busy schedule. If you need to save your energy for work, then exercise after work.

Also for 3 days each week you can do one 5 minutes of strength training (lifting weights, calisthenics, etc) each day before your 15 minute HIIT session.

For 2 consecutive days of the week you can either rest or do light exercise such as zero or minimum resistance on the stationary bike/elliptical bike, walking on the treadmill also for 15 minutes.

Learn about "intermittent fasting" and do your exercise within the fasting window and you can potentially lose weight fairly quickly.

Seems a pretty good advice will try to follow this routine.

You answered this yourself without realizing , or without knowing it applies daily:
Note 'Saviour' is also 'Healer'. 'Teacher'. 'Strength'. 'Wisdom'

Why Is Jesus's name constantly used in vain by people and the entertainment media ?

Jesus is the only saviour!

and less known: The Creator, before making the world and everything in it, orchestrated/planned all the days of our lives now, today. We just need to seek Him and learn to hear Him daily, to listen to Him.
