I'm coming at this from the perspective that MOST of us are NOT consistently practicing healthy habits. If we were (as a society) our health statistics would be IMPROVING, which they are not.

The "ah-ha moment" that I just love, because it signals LEARNING, GROWING and CULTIVATING a root system or foundation within that only makes us more RESILIENT in this wild, wacky life adventure.

When we loathe, dred or dislike doing something, guess what happens? We tend to (inevitably) AVOID IT.

The problem is NOT in the age, but rather our mindset toward aging (especially in Western cultures). The NUMBER has MUCH less to do with how we feel, than does the LIFESTYLE we've chosen to live and the habits within that daily lifestyle.

I love these moments with clients, when the body just naturally does it's thing once we ALLOW and HELP it to heal. These regular, every day moments are WAY BIGGER than many of us realize.

When we're NOT seeing the results we are aiming for over a period of time, creating small shifts (along with having a WILLINGNESS to do something different), allows us to create change in a positive way, without it feeling hard or drastic.

Society focuses on a number that is on a THING on the floor. TRUE HEALTH is found in how an individual is able to EXPERIENCE LIFE.

I'm very interested and intrigued by Buddhism. "The study of the self". And boy do we need more of this in today's modern world in my opinion. Whether you're interested in Buddhism to any extent or not, I hope you'll continue reading this post.

If I could make everyone read these words and just sit with them for a few minutes, I definitely would. THE SECOND LINE ALONE IS POWERFUL

Caring for your deep health CREATES SO MANY AMAZING benefits outside of the "fancy" or "popular" goals we typically equate to health

Too often we are "pushing through" our day(s) for the sake of "looking strong" maybe? Or being seen as a "warrior" perhaps? Well, I hate to tell you - It doesn't work!

As much as it's not easy to revisit some of these moments for me, it IS actually a good feeling when we recognize WHAT WE LEARNED from the good and/or not so good experiences in our lives.

I don't like SPEED. I don't like HEIGHTS. Therefore I'm NOT an extreme sports guy either - clearly.

The concern is when these three things become your NORM. It becomes a PRACTICE to hold yourself, your fun, and your happiness back more often than not. What we practice most, becomes our reality.

The words and actions ARE NOT aligning. Therefore, time for a different approach. We can say "this is what I need" over and over again. But when we consistently are NOT getting the outcomes we want from this approach, it's time for a new mindset.

Our thoughts and inner dialogue, are "acted out" in real life. Especially over time. This doesn't mean we have to be unrealistic, like everything is "flowers and rainbows".

Somewhere though, over our lifetime, we've become "shocked" by the fact that some things require PRACTICE, TIME and EFFORT. Our deep health being one of those things. With that, the principles of the process remain the same as what James Clear eludes to in his words.

ANY parent and/or HUMAN reading this would MOST LIKELY say what to that child? "It's okay. You just need to practice. You'll get better." But we COMPLETELY overlook telling ourselves that VERY SAME ADVICE!

I don't often write posts on a Saturday morning, but I had to share this as I laughed and was shaking my head at "the battle" going on in the comments on a Linkdin post.

This is a very real and raw post that spoke to me, because like our clients, we are humans too.
