Now this situation is not to compare one another’s health. At the end of the day, we all have to adopt a specific diet or exercise to help achieve and maintain our optimum goals.

There are alot of questions in this article because its mainly to focus on factors to identify how healthy is your household relationship – and it starts with your own health, hence the analogies used when you read on.

When some people look in the mirror at face value, they will look at things that they would like to change or things that they are completely happy with. But the thing is they are only seeing this at surface level.
There may be also unseen factors which is beneath that surface, even with the physical anatomy whether their healthy insides have good organs working in functional order, or emotional issues which are not seen on the outside, especially when cosmetically things can look good from the exterior but the main thing is how healthy are you?
Now these are things that we need to apply in our households as well because sometimes you can look at a family and they seem like they get along, they go on day outs or even holidays, the parents have a good job, the children are well taken care of. Now does this sum up the whole essence of the families health?

What are the levels of interaction between the parents? Are both parents involved in the household? Do both parents interact with one another? Are both parents on one accord? Do the parents have an interaction with the children? Did the children interact with one another? Do they have days where they actually sit and communicate and socialise as a family or is it only when a day out is proposed. Furthermore, when they go on a day out are they all active together? Do they work together or do they go off on their own thing? Are they sitting individually even when in the same vicinity but they are doing their own thing? For example, they are all on their iPads, phones even whilst sitting at the same table. Are they actually there together mentally and spiritually in unison or are they just beings, bodies and figures all in the same room but in their own small world?

So how do you define a healthy household relationship? How much do you know about the health and wellbeing of all those members of your household, especially the breadwinners, the leaders of the household, the ones that are responsible for the rest of the household? We are not just talking about the bills here and the finances which obviously play an important part because that also can affect the health of a household. For example if bills are not paid or foods not on the table, then that’s going to affect the physiological parts of the house which also will have a psychological effect on the household as well because if you’re not eating you get grumpy. You know it also causes arguments between the bread winners of the house so if there’s only one breadwinner, other members will have to pull their weight. These factors influence the dynamics of the household just the same way if your body is sick it’s going to act differently than it’s normal Behaviour.

Now the same way some of us don’t really fully understand how our body functions, for example, what leads to your body to not be performing the way it’s supposed to in a healthy manner And if you perceive this as healthy, then you’re not gonna be able to come to the healing process if it’s in a sick state. This is like being given the wrong diagnosis.
So ultimately with your family, have you ever sat back if you are a member of a household and thought on a full ultimate scale on how your family is? Even yourself as you being a member of your family. What part are you playing to help promote a healthy relationship before your family members, even if you are old enough to understand this and come to some form of diagnosis you know have you put it forward and said I’m not happy with it? Obviously the younger ones are influenced by the elders in the family – the ones which are more responsible.

Now going back to the families who look great from the outside, the house looks amazing , even in the celebrity world hearing of stories, and when they get interviewed about their private life and personal life there’s still a lot of things that they’re not satisfied with, even though they’re doing a lot better than many. This is why when mentioning at the beginning it’s looking at the health optimised for your lifestyle. Not everyone’s is going to adopt the same diet or exercise or training. So what needs to be exercised in this household? If you look at the things that you’re happy with that doesn’t need to be addressed because you’re happy with it’s health and everybody satisfied, then it’s like your body – all bodies are being actively nourished and attened to, they are in a fine state.
Now, if you go for a check up and there’s nothing wrong, but then you look at the finer things which could be improved, if there’s room for improvement, then focus on those improvements so you can put more energy into those things because on many occasions energy is being put into addressing problems on top problems in the household but has anyone actually worked out the cure to make it more healthy? What can we do to make it better? Has there been family meetings in your household where these issues have been addressed to see how you are living or is your household living a healthy lifestyle? (Food for thought and something to think about).

Also if you are living with a partner whether it be your husband, wife, fiance; when you are living together in your house, children or no children, are you living together and both working to make ends meet and just feel like cohabitants? Is there health in your relationship or is most of your time just spent on trying to survive in a house and to feed yourself? Is the compassion involved the same compassion that you had when you first met? Does your relationship move with that person as healthy as it was at the start or is there any deterioration because there’s more worries, and I say worries because to worry about something is something that you care about so we can say that we can use the word care. Are you helpfully living together or are you basically just cohabiting? Are you actually living as a healthy family, even if there’s a struggle, maybe financially? Do you healthily deal with the situation or is it dealt with in a strifing way and it seems painful? You know there’s always going to be some form of pain but is it dealt with in a manner which is quite healthy? Do you discuss things together refraining from arguments or is it hostile? These are things also to look at, whether there’s children there or not? It’s very important also when there are children present because they need to have an example in front of them to know how to promote good health and well being in their own life.

Also when doing this, don’t compare your household lifestyle to somebody else’s in a way that will bring jealousy and dissatisfaction to what you was content with in the first place, especially if everyone is safe, healthy and at peace.

If your household is well looked over and has correctly been diagnosed then it can be correctly treated! Conclusively, your household reflects how you maintain it, just like yourself – both physically, mentally and spiritually.
