Two of my friends in Keningau, Sabah has joined the Seminar about CREATION Health in Miri, Sarawak several months ago. I asked them what it is all about and they told me that it is just the same with NEWSTART programme. I am a little confused about it in the beginning. However, after I visited the website of CREATION Health, I was astonished that it is actually a lifestyle transformation programme designed to help people live life to the fullest by focusing on the eight universal principles of whole person health God originally gave at Creation.
CREATION is actually an acronym for;
CREATION is actually an acronym for;
- Choice is the first step toward improved health. Making healthy choices is the key to lifestyle improvement. Research shows that people who believe they have more control over their lives tend to be healthier and live longer.
- Rest is both a good night's sleep and taking time to relax. Life's stress and pressures accumulate over time and can create a generalized "dis-ease" with life. Relaxation techniques practiced regularly, can lower blood pressure, change one's mood and reduce stress.
- Environment is the external space outside of us but that which affects what happens within us. All of our senses -- sight, smell, sound, touch and taste -- can influence our mood as well as our health, either positively or negatively. Recent research demonstrates not only the importance of our larger environment (air and water quality) to our health, but also our immediate environment (light, sound, aroma and touch).
- Activity includes stretching, muscle development and aerobic activity. The goal is to be active physically, mentally and spiritually. Activities should be something you enjoy and will participate in for years to come. Research indicates that an increase in activity translates directly into improved health.
- Trust in God speaks to the important relationship between spirituality and healing. Our faith, beliefs and hopes affect our health. Research shows the vital role that belief and expectation have on the final outcome.
- Interpersonal Relationships are important to your well-being. Knowing you have the support of others fortifies your resolve and contributes to improved health. Research has demonstrated the importance of support groups and family in recovering from illness.
- Outlook colors your perspective on life. Recent research suggests that your attitude influences your health and even impacts the progression of disease.
- Nutrition is the fuel that drives the whole system. Take time to evaluate your food intake remembering that even small improvements, done regularly multiply the health benefits many times over. Research has consistently shown the importance of a good diet on your health and energy levels.
