Day Two: Stop Letting Your Past Decide Your Health

You have to change your past to change your future. Learn how revising your story can shift your identity, habits, and relationship with food.

Yesterday, we talked about the importance of understanding your life as a story. Stories can feel “made up,” but our bodies and minds are actually wired to function off stories. It’s one of the reasons I believe Jesus taught in parables. He knew we respond best when information comes as a story.

If you want to keep reading, I’m going to show you exactly how the story you’ve been telling yourself about food, your body, and health may be holding you back and teach you how a small shift in perspective can change everything.
