Why is it that we often keep something in our lives that we know is not good for us? This could be bad food in our house, a bad habit that affects our health mental or physical or a friend/lover that is no good for us. It is fascinating how you know that severing ties with this thing will bring you to a whole new level of health, but each time the thought crosses your mind you find an excuse to keep it around. You don't want to experience life without this thing, but is it really making your life better.
Most people would look at your situation and see how easily it can be changed. They would think you are so silly for keeping it in your life. Just get rid of that food that you know will hurt your weight loss. Stop visiting the corner bakery that has those donuts you can't refuse, even if it is a family tradition. These things probably even seem trivial to others. However, when you are sit down to contemplate life without some of these things it just does not seem right.
Everyday is a step further in the journey of life, and my trip to better health. I am beginning to look at more regarding my mental health. That is where the above analysis comes into play. I am looking at bad habits and people that don't enhance my mental and physical health. I feel my mental health can have a huge impact on my physical health and my success on the weight loss portion of my journey. Sometimes it is not easy to say goodbye to things that have been a part of life, but it can open doors to things you never considered.
Set out today to start new healthier traditions, build up the relationships in your life that make you stronger, let those that hurt or weaken you fade and build new healthier habits. Whether it is your mental or physical health enhanced by these changes you will feel better, stronger and refreshed.
May your life be full of love, happiness and strength.
