The Art of Healthy Living – The True Meaning of the Art of Healthy Living
The Art Of Healthy Living is a term that is thrown around very loosely. Most of the time people think it is a “cool” expression or they just need something catchy to put on their site but that’s not what this phrase is about. The Art Of Healthy Living is just that an Art. People never talk about Healthy Living in terms of it being an art form. People see it as something they are obligated to do or something they do to impress people. Some people use Healthy Living as a crutch to prove how self righteous they can be. These are the types that always insist you are unhealthy unless you start eating and living like them. I will do my best to clear up misconceptions about Art and the way of Healthy Living.
What does Art mean to you? You probably had many things pop in your head just there. Before I tell you what art means to me I want you to first empty your cup of tea so that you may taste mine. This an old Zen expression that means to abandon all things you think you know so that you may learn once again. If you were in school and you constantly were trying to outsmart the teacher you would learn absolutely nothing more than you already knew. Your cup would remain full and your drink would go stale. This cup is your mind so before I tell you what art truly means you must first empty your mind of all things you think you know about art.
