You Can Create Instant Results (+ learn the way to do it)
A topic you probably never saw coming from me! This is a fun one!
Ten years ago, I quit health. Like, hard stop. I had nothing to do with it.
Honestly, I’m not surprised it happened. Naturally, based on the laws of balance, we often see this pattern in our lives. When you obsess over health, you eventually burn out. Or, like me, you quit altogether.
It’s especially easy when you lose your health doing “all the right things.” What’s the point of all the work if it doesn’t pay off?
Ironically, quitting health is what led me back to it with the same fondness, but a completely different approach.
And this is where life (and health) gets tricky. The place where things appear the same from the outside, the same action and same words, but approached differently, the outcomes are nearly opposite.
A perfect example:
I’ve been working on an upcoming podcast episode about body weight (and why it matters). I know, it’s going to be intimate and intense. But the truth is, body weight does matter. It really does, especially as our seasons of life get busier and the world becomes more chaotic. Our bodies need a certain structure to function, which is directly influenced by body weight.
But how body weight is talked about creates extremes:
It can be harmful, pulling you away from health.
Or it can be helpful, guiding you toward it.
If you live in the first camp, like I did before quitting health. Obsessed, perfectionistic, pushing harder, unaware of your body, destination-focused, you often swing to the opposite extreme, accepting the “body love at any size” movement. And truly believing that body weight has no mertit on life.
In some areas, like your worth, that is very true. But in health, it’s not true.
Beyond your worth and purpose, body weight is a tool for living your purpose. Instead of being a measure of value, it becomes a sign of capacity, resilience, strength, and energy.
This same example holds true for many aspects of life. Think about food tracking, planning, or even fitness routines. We tend to live in extremes, in either/or scenarios. But life (and health) don’t work in either/or but in the both/and situations.
Sometimes, it’s complicated to see. Because they seem so similar, it’s hard to tell how different they are. The best way to understand is to live it.
But living the difference to experience it requires reformulating your health blueprint. You need to first build a solid foundation so you can return to health without dragging the old baggage along.
It all comes back to experience. The best experiences come from having a solid wellness plan. And not just any plan, but a personalized plan.
On the blog, I shared the critical elements of a successful wellness plan.
But to give you a jumpstart on my upcoming live class, where I’ll walk you through building your own wellness blueprint and taking real action, I want to share the first step.
The details of the class drop next week. Sign up for the waitlist, and I’ll email you when it’s live.
