CANI. Continuing and never-ending improvement. It’s a way of life. Striving to learn from mistakes, learn from others, and become the best versions of ourselves we can be: happy, healthy, and fit.
Life can be broken down into areas we can work to improve, like health, fitness, mindset, finances. Below are some of my best reminders for myself that I would share with someone younger than me.
Applying CANI in Real Life
- Emotional health: recognizing and accepting a range of emotions, both positive and negative, as natural parts of life and learning how to positively cope with them
- Overall health: making mindful, healthy choices consistently
- Fitness: stretching morning and night, strength training three times a week, cardio 2hrs per week
- Nutrition: whole-food plant-based eating, cooking at home more vs buying pre-made dinners or takeout
- Mindset: positive thinking, smiling more, and reframing negative situations
- Lifestyle: keeping things simple, desiring less, scheduling in adventures
- Finances: setting aside at least 10% of income and planning for retirement
- Relationships: communicating your wants and needs in a productive way
- Living: slowing down, no rushing, being where your feet are in the here and now
- Mental health: working on breathwork, walking in nature, sharing struggles with loved ones
- Personal growth: reading books, journaling, answering self-reflection prompts
Final Thoughts
Having freedom and being happy lies in the daily choices we make. Focus on what you can control: your actions. Adjusting along the way with a good, positive attitude.
