Why It’s Important To Change Your Health For the better
A health theromostat is built within all of us . By that I mean an inner subconscious thermostat that dictates just how healthy we can be. Think of it this way…
Have you ever started on a healthy path (for instance going on a 100% raw food diet) and then hit a point where something inside of you said, “That’s good enough. I’ll stop here.”?
I’ve worked with countless people who have set the goal of losing weight (say 20 lbs) but anytime they get near their goal they for some reason find a way to sabotage themselves.
Most of us can relate to this
The majority of us do follow this type of yo-yo diet . They burn fat only up to the point that their thermostat is set for, then they sabotage themselves, and then it begins all over again.
It’s like the heating/cooling system in your home .
If you’ve set the thermostat for 23 degrees Celsius, then you can do all you want to get the temperature below 23 but it just won’t happen. You can’t get to 22 degrees or lower because the settings are what they are.
The only way to get below 23 is to readjust your thermostat.
The same applies to all of us, including you and myself .
For instance, my thermostat is set so that I can eat as healthy as possible up to a certain point. Then, my subconscious kicks in and says, “Hey, you deserve to kick back tonight and enjoy a treat.”
Sound familiar?
That’s perhaps one of the reasons that I personally believe that moderation is best – because it works for me.
So how do reset your thermostat so that you can truly achieve the goals you really want?
Well, I won’t lie to you. It takes a lot of introspection and hard work to reprogram your thoughts, beliefs, and habits.
Since a young age, we’ve programmed ourselved to believe and act in certain ways .
It takes time to undo the programs that have been installed in our hard drive.
But it can be done.
I’m still on the journey and so are you.
It never really stops. It’s part of life. Each and every day we look to grow and expand our consciousness just a little bit more (at least I hope so).
Below are some questions I would like you to ask yourself :
1. What do you do to sabotage your weight loss or health initiatives?
2. Why do you do it? (Think hard)
3. What’s holding you back? Are you scared that you might fail or are you scared of the unknown?
4. Do you truly believe that you deserve to reach your goals?
Answer these questions to the best of your power. They should serve as a good starting point for getting a bit more clear as to why you do what you do.
