Why

Abstract Thinking

I put a great deal of impetus on the mental aspect of health and fitness.  In my opinion the mechanical is basic and as simple as repeating the same task for 20 to 30 days resulting in the body developing a habit however if a worthwhile motive is not present we will not continue the process for a sustained period of time and the habit stops.  There must be a clear reason to follow through with change.   If people are going to truly commit they need to believe in their cause consequently the why must be more than a short term goal i.e.  I want to drop a few pounds, I have a dress/suit I want to wear.   Short term goals are valid reasons to eat right and exercise but they lack the substance to drive a long term life style change.

Change is not easy and typically our minds resist it.  Albert Einstein wrote about thought having its own life.  For example most substances will be out of our system within 30days; nicotine leaves the system within 72 hrs. hence there is no clinical reason why a person should crave cigarettes after a week of being off the sticks, the same is true of alcohol, chocolate, and amphetamines yet all of these substances are responsible for a great deal of discomfort when the addict stops using.  Why?  Because the memory body knows what gives us pleasure and it does not want to be terminated.

Let’s say you are the Thought that tells your body to eat chocolate, every time your physical being follows your direction, your body is relaxed, feels secure, and happy.  Guiding your body to eat chocolate is your purpose in life.  Then one day after being a loyal, faithful servant to your physical beings needs, you are shut out, ignored and no longer accepted.  The Thought becomes confused;    it does not want to die so it fights to be heard by stimulating the desire for chocolate.  So goes the struggle of reframing our thinking, the thoughts that have given us what we wanted and provided us with the feeling of being safe and secure will fight to stay a part of our mental being.   It takes a mental toughness to abolish old ways of thinking.

I believe the only hope we have of successfully changing our lifestyle is to change the way we view our capabilities and what we want our physical being to provide for us.  Knowing what we want from our physical being will allow new thoughts to be born and they will provide us with the same loyal service the unhealthy psyche faithfully delivered. 

The road to change is a series of building blocks.  Why is the motivator that leads us to learn more about the how?  Once we are motivated, educated, and actuated the process of change takes root; giving birth to a new physical and mental well being. 

Follow the white light to clearity

 Find your reason to change, believe in it and be tough minded enough to overcome the dying impulses of old thoughts and enjoy a rich, full, active, long, life.

Go have some fun
