Weekly #HealthTip

Instinctively, you know what you should be doing when it comes to your health, but do you ignore that knowingness?

If you are trying to lose weight, and someone offers you something you know is not going to help you on your weight loss journey, do you set what you know aside, and indulge anyway, because it either tastes good, or you just simply want it, and then feel badly afterwards because of it?

You are not alone.

You know what to do, but you may do the opposite anyways. Or, maybe you don’t have the awareness, and you operate out of habit, and allow your subconscious to rule the show. You are not alone in that either. The majority of people operate in both ways. Either way, you are sabotaging your efforts, whether it is weight loss, happiness, career, relationships, etc.

Okay, great. Now what? You have to make a choice and decide if you are going to be proactive or reactive. Example: Now your pants don’t fit you anymore, as the weight keeps creeping up, so you have to go buy a new pair of pants, which makes you feel super shitty about yourself. That is being reactive to a situation. What would happen if you were proactive, where you are operating from the place of knowingness and following through on it? Maybe you won’t take them up on that offer to indulge, or if you do, it will be done with conscious choice and no guilt, and you have plans in place to support you to move forward.

Are you sabotaging your health by choosing to be reactive? Being proactive means you are no longer a victim of circumstance. Proactive = empowered choice.

What is really getting in the way of the knowingness? One word: RESISTANCE. Ask yourself, what are you resisting? When you answer that powerful question, then the choice becomes impossible to ignore.
