Wake Up To Your Health Reality
Posted on 25. Jul, 2010 by Guy in Health Psychology/Motivation
The thing about where we are now with our health and our lives is that in effect we are all dreaming whilst believing we are awake.
What do I mean by that?
Where are you now with your health? We have been brought up to live with a collected set of beliefs that we have all subscribed to from a young age. The sad thing is that we subscribe to these beliefs at the points in our lives when our minds do not have the capacity to question them. Much as we subscribe to almost anything adults tell us when we are children. At the same time comments like, ‘it is my genetics’ or ‘that’s just the way I am’ are excuses and give more power to these belief patterns.
We are living each day trying to please someone or trying to impress someone with our knowledge, our looks, our intellect, our wittiness, our charm. We are all wearing 5 or 6 social masks every single day of our lives, depending on who are with.
Your social mask is not the same when you are speaking to your work colleagues than it is when you are speaking with your loved ones or when you are speaking with a close friend. We have been brought up learning what masks to wear and in what situations.
The only reason we are wearing these social masks is to be accepted in a society that doesn’t like masks. So what can we do to break free from a reality that has been built for us, but not built by us?
Make a choice!
There comes a time, or several times, in your life when you have to make a choice between living in a health reality that has been created by others, their choices and beliefs ….. or you can create your own reality. Which one would you prefer?
Right this very second our health has been formed by the beliefs that have been passed down by others, mainly our parents, teachers, siblings and peers. Right now you can decide that you no longer want to live the health reality created for you and it’s time to create your own levels of health, not average or statistical…. your own high standard.
How on earth do you create your own high health standards?
Wake up!
The very first thing to do to change your health is to wake up to the fact that the world in which you live is made up of belief systems. Someone believed that it was possible to fly and went on to master flight, someone believed that it was possible to illuminate the world with light and went on to master the light bulb, someone believed that we could be connected with computers and went on to create the internet, someone believed that we no longer needed horse and cart for transport and invented cars. Some people believe that it is OK to smoke or drink and eat poor food, it doesn’t have to be you belief if you actually choose not to.
It’s time for that someone to be you, it’s time for you break the spell of someone’s beliefs and start making your own spells. You live in a reality created by others, their ideas of health, of fun, of exercise and socialising – have the courage, the belief, the mental strength, and the power to change your own health. Don’t join someone else’s revolution, start your own revolution and become the leader and not the follower.
Imagine how you’d look, how you’d feel, what you could do?
What things are you going to do to do to get your health, weight or fitness to the level you want? Who can you get information from? What action will you take now?
