Procrastinating Perfect Health
We all know what little ways that we harm our health. We all know what changes we need to make….. but put off…. Just a little longer…. Thinking that it will be easier then.
And then we make those things our New Years Resolution…. For about 2 days… and decide that it is not time to let those self destructive life choices go. A few really stick to the plan. We are all amazed. How did they do it?
But for most of us, we use these little things to sabotage our lives. It is really not a matter of education. We are educated! What we are also is: MASTERS OF DENIAL!
Who doesn’t know by now that smoking kills? Who doesn’t know that junk food will make you fat and eventually kill you? Who doesn’t know by now that drama will mess up your life? And so on, and on…….. for another year.
So why do we all (and I do mean ALL), do it?
Oh there are thousands of reasons. Mankind is brilliant at justifying the fact that we are attracted to harmful things. Let’s see, there is the time element “I don’t have time to exercise or eat right”. You have time to eat wrong, and watch TV, right? So that reasoning doesn’t work for anyone but the person who needs it.
Destructive self behaviors usually tell us that they reduce stress, but in fact, usually increase it. These behaviors entice us with immediate gratification, while robbing us of the things we really seek. Destructive behaviors are the great deceivers.
In case you have already blown the New Year’s Resolution, let’s start again with another approach: Honesty
This year, let’s take another shot at it……
1. Take an honest look at how you use your harmful behavior. Is it what you would want for yourself?
2. Do you use your harmful behavior to protect you from doing what you really want to do?
3. How much time do you deal with “that nagging little voice” telling you that what you are doing is NOT good for you?
4. Who do you blame your behavior on?
5. How much stress does your little behavior cause you? Do you worry what others would think? Do you worry about your health?
6. What if the game was over? What if you were free? What would you do without all the stress and worry?
7. What if you got healthier?
8. What could you do with your life if you didn’t spend so much of your life dealing with this?
9. What stops you?
10. Who enables you to continue your destructive behavior?
11. What is it going to take?
12. Who cares what date the calendar says? The day that you reclaim your life IS the first day of the rest of your life.
13. Just think, if you can do this, you can do anything. Take your power back. You are the only one that can make decisions for you, your body and your life.
Most health and happiness issues are within our grasp. Self honesty is free, available 24 hours a day, and is unlimited. When you are ready, go for it.
