Have
you ever experienced an all or nothing attitude? You know, where you're
going to be all out healthy or go completely in the other direction?
Truth be told, I'm thinking we've all be there at one point in our lives
or another.
And you know what?
It's not effective.
It's
one of the reasons that 98% of diets FAIL. For every restriction
there's an equal binge. And in today's vernacular, diet equals
restriction. So, what to do?
Start
somewhere. ANYWHERE. And begin with 100% intention to permanently
change your relationship with nourishment and self-care. Make it a
lifestyle change. A pleasurable, enjoyable, fun-filled adventure in
lifestyle change.
The
great thing about approaching healthy living in this way is that you
get to let go of judgement and deprivation and get curious.
So,
go all in on the intention to permanently change your relationship with
nourishment. And then, take it step by step. Starting anywhere! I love
to have my clients start at the easiest and most pleasurable place for
themselves. Make it fun!
Looking for a few ideas to get you started?
Great!
How
about on the physical side... rocking four 20-minute cardio sessions a
week (walking outside, dancing to Pandora, biking, etc.), stretching for
three minutes a day, strength training twice a week?
On
the food side... how about mastering adding in one fruit and one veggie
into your daily life? Figure out how to do this, what you're going to
buy, when you're going to buy it, where you'll store it at home, which
ones you'll bring to work with you. Master that and then up level to two
fruits and veggies a day.
Consider
your venture into being a healthier person a living promise to yourself
to constantly move towards truer confidence, happiness and playfulness.
Be 100% IN with permanently changing your relationship with nourishment
and self-care for a trial period of time (a day, a week, a month). Live
in a story where nourishment and self-care are the highest order of
respect, total truth and integrity are demanded, and shaping your
reality is your personal responsibility. And know that everyone is here
to support your pursuit of confidence, happiness and playfulness.
The
point is to start. Let yourself be the novice, the beginner. (Yes,
you're absolutely extraordinary!) So be an absolutely extraordinary
beginner, step into your coachable self, and pick a place to start and
rock EVERY SINGLE STEP you take with the highest of integrity and truth.
It's one of the bravest and most powerful things you'll ever do.

ReplyDeleteThose are some of the luckiest people in whom the diet chart do some miracle but mostly all the charts ruin and ultimately the patient have to take the services of a physiotherapist to get rid of pains and to come back in life.
ReplyDeleteThe most beautiful and rather appreciable fact about the online available volunteer video and audio lectures from the various teachers around the world is that except the few, many and almost all the lectures are available on the internet free of cost which makes them easily accessible to all the students. I usually visit write my college papers online on write my essay online.blogspot.com to have more lectures.
