Be Specific



By now, you are well aware that health is a product of choices and that these choices can form Habits of Health or Habits of Disease. Reprogramming your habits takes time, and it can be a challenge, which is why we are doing a little bit at a time. Small steps are easier to manage and are more likely to be sustainable. I am hearing from some of you and you are already seeing a difference in your life from the daily changes that you are making. Isn't that motivating?

To continue breaking your connection to Habits of Disease, write down 10 recent choices that did not support optimal health. Be specific.  Below are some areas that you can evaluate:
  • Healthy eating, including vita-nutrient support
  • A healthy weight and a normal waist size
  • An active lifestyle, including a daily activity program, a walking program, strength conditioning, flexibility, agility
  • Recuperative sleep
  • Relaxation
  • A microenvironment of health
  • Well-being, including social activities, limited stress, a sense of purpose and meaning, spiritual health, and personal fulfillment
  • A support system
Once you have identified 10 choices that did not support optimal health, write down 10 "next-time" actions; the healthy choices that you plan to make the next time you face one of your 10 opportunities to choose between a Habit of Health or a Habit of Disease. If you get stuck on a next-time action, let me know and maybe I can help.
