The people who will be in a position to handle this crisis better are the ones who can tap into inner reserves and are able to bring a sense of calm and balance into their lives. These are people who can rise to the challenges and respond to the stressor without feeling inadequate and overwhelmed.
More often than not we fail to realise we have given our power and in turn our happiness to people and circumstances which lie outside of us. This holds true for all aspects of our lives including our health issues
In this post, I have decided to share with you some of the key interventions that I introduce early in my coaching sessions regarding how we should all be eating in order to ensure maximum absorption of nutrients. This is often the missing piece in terms of seeing the health outcomes that my clients have been seeking for many years. This is particularly true for those who have been struggling to lose weight in spite of being focussed on eating healthy and wholesome foods.
Intrinsic motivation is necessary for making sure that we take action on a consistent basis. This is because intrinsic motivation is based on personal values and self awareness that leads to enjoyment, satisfaction and interest in the action being taken.
Reading is a practice that contributes immensely to our mental, emotional wellbeing both of which are intricately connected to our physical health.
Being well and keeping well is then a community affair. This includes our families, our schools and colleges and finally our workplaces and society at large.
So let us dream and let us take out the time to reflect on what is truly important for each of us. Let us find the courage to face up to reality and make the changes necessary to live in our TRUTH. To look at ourselves in the mirror every single day and be proud of who we are. At the same time be able to view life compassionately as we deal with our own pain and suffering and that of others.
However, as most of us may realise, inspite of all the awareness about exercise and “healthy” diets, there is something missing here, something that is not right. This approach is simply NOT working for most of us. Otherwise, there would not be more people (including children) who are overweight and in many cases, chronically ill.
As far as food is concerned, as we have become scared of saying NO to the things that are affecting our children’s health, in effect we are saying YES to processed and nutritionally depleted foods which will have long term impact on our children’s health
