You would think that change is a four letter word the way that so many people avoid it all costs, especially when it comes to changing their habits. As a Healthy Living and Weight Loss coach, one of the biggest challenges I face is to help people understand that Change can actually be their best friend if they would just learn to embrace it rather than resist it. I learned this hard lesson many times over through the many adversities and painful losses I have had to face in my life that forced me into change. The first example that comes to mind was when I was diagnosed with cancer at age 29. I had to change many of my habits in how I thought, how I talked to myself and how I dealt with the people and events that caused me stress and anxiety. I knew that negative stress and anxiety would only steal away the positive healing energy that I needed to fight my fight and beat my cancer. I discovered so many attitudes that caused me what I call "self-inflicted" stress. Working through these attitudes later helped me in my weight loss journey as well and I am proud to say that I have not only lost the excess weight that had once weighed me down physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, but I have now kept that weight off for over six years.
Changing my thinking, changing my attitudes and changing my behaviours has truly changed my body and my life. I now help others do the same and could not think of a more rewarding way to make a living and live out my purpose on this planet. I would not be where I am right now if I did not open up my arms to the universe and say "Change, I am going to take you on regardless of my fears and self-doubts."
If you want to change your health, change your body, change your thinking and change your life, and enjoy the better quality of life you so desire and deserve, you can do it. It is not a question of whether you CAN do it or not, it is merely a question of whether or not you CHOOSE to do it. The question is how important is it to you and what are you prepared to do about it?
If one of the areas you want to change in your life is to eat healthy and control your weight, then I invite you to take my FREE Readiness Assessment today and find out how ready you are for change.
