Getting Started…
Get started by clicking the links below. Before you begin your health journey, you must know your real motivation for doing so. Click below to get started!
Why Do You Want To Be Healthy?
You need to ask yourself, why do you want to be healthy? Why do you want to overcome a health challenge? Your motivation or your “why” needs to have two sides, a positive and a negative. What do you want to avoid as a result of having a sick body?
On the positive side, do you want to have more energy, live long for your spouse & kids or do you have more work to do in the world? Your why needs to be something other than superficial physical characteristics. There needs to be a deeper motivation behind why you want to transform your health and your life. Having a strong “why” is going to give you the motivation in the moment to make the right decisions.
Exercise: Spend 5 minutes and write down at least 3 negative reasons why you don’t want to be sick and 3 positive reasons why you want to experience unbreakable health.
Who Are You?…
Motivation is not enough. You make the right decisions based upon who you perceive yourself to be. Understanding who you are is the most critical step to improving your health and your life.
If you see yourself as constantly sick, your body will manifest that. But if you see yourself as a successful and disciplined person (and you make that your identification) you will only make decisions based upon who you believe yourself to be, who you are. Are you the healthiest person ever? Are you an agent for change for yourself and those around you?
Does everything you touch (literally and figuratively) turn to gold?
Who are you?
Exercise: Spend 3 minutes and write down 2 sentences that describe what kind of being you are on the planet and what kind of difference you’re going to make in this world as a result.
Your Subconscious Mind…
Your current physical health and well being is the direct result of not your conscious mind but your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is what runs the show. According to Dr. Bruce Lipton the main way to reprogram your subconscious mind for success is repetition through affirmations.
Exercise: Write down 3 affirmations about your health, your relationships and your finances. Put them on your phone and repeat them at least 3 times per day.
Bonus Exercise: Record yourself reading these affirmations into your phone. Then put that behind some soft music so you don’t hear it. Then listen to that as you fall asleep each night, when you’re driving or doing your daily meditation.
Your Inner World…
In order to achieve the highest levels of health and success in all areas of your life, you need to control what you allow into your mind, body and spirit.
It doesn’t matter if it’s negative people, watching the news, listening to disempowering music, movies, radio shows or TV, everything you consume (physically or otherwise) needs to support this new direction you’re going.
Exercise: Write down 3 affirmations about your health, your relationships and your finances. Put them on your phone and repeat them at least 3 times per day.
Bonus Exercise: Record yourself reading these affirmations into your phone. Then put that behind some soft music so you don’t hear your words. Then listen to that as you fall asleep each night, when you’re driving or doing your daily meditation.
Your Energy
Life is energy and energy is life.
Your body needs energy, to heal, to repair and to become superhuman. It is recommended to make a list of people or circumstances in your life that drain you of energy. It is vital to make sure you store and preserve your energy and don’t give it away without intention.
Don’t let people suck you into their drama. All of life, people and media attempt to get you to invest emotionally into their way of seeing the world. Don’t let your emotions get controlled by anybody other than you.
If you are to heal, you must preserve your energy so it can be used for healing and not drama.
Exercise: Write down 5 people and/or 5 circumstances that come up in your life on a regular basis and consider tasteful ways of reducing your interaction with them or getting rid of them from your life completely if possible.
Meditation
“If you want what everybody else has, just doe what everybody else is doing. But if you want something different for yourself, you must do something radically different on a daily basis.”
Meditation is a way to bring balance to your autonomic nervous system. It helps the body to heal and restore itself. It provides rest so your cells can repair themselves. It allows you to see yourself as a being other than your body.
As meditation gets easier, you’ll start to enjoy it (and even crave it) and begin to look forward to the practice. Also the benefits will start to become so clear that if you miss a day, you’ll notice a big difference. Once a habit becomes fun, it’s no longer effort but something you enjoy.
Meditation is the #1 way to get in alignment with your higher self, your subconscious mind. When you start to develop a relationship with your inner being, then you can begin the road to recovery or start your journey to unbreakable health.
Exercise: Start your meditation practice by meditating 5 minutes per day, once per day. When you get used to that you can increase the time and/or the sessions. Simply sit against a wall with your back straight and your legs crossed. Close your eyes and focus on your breath.
Giving Back
When our bodies have health challenges, it becomes easy to focus on our healing. Remember, your health is to be the foundation for something greater.
Look for ways to give back. See if you can help your mom or dad. See if you can volunteer at the local library, homeless shelter or church. Part of your healing is going to be helping people in their time of need.
No man is an island and we cannot heal alone. The more we help others, the more we heal ourselves.
Exercise: Find an organization you’d like to work with and begin by volunteering once a week. Or find something you can do each day to make somebody’s life better or easier. Seek out more ways to give back to those who need it.
The Power of Gratitude
Gratitude is a foundational spiritual practice. If you feel like God or life owes you something, you’re not on a path of healing. One of the greatest spiritual teachings is learning how to be grateful in EVERY situation.
When we are constantly complaining because life isn’t meeting our expectations, we are blocking the energy of abundant health and healing.
If we are not grateful for the gifts we currently take for granted why should abundance and healing be gifted to us? If your son or daughter were ungrateful and expected gifts from you would you want to give them gifts?
Exercise: When you wake up each morning, ask yourself, what can I be grateful for today? Pick one thing and ponder that all day. Think about what it would be to not have that thing. What would your life look like. Could this be a great relationship you have? Could it be a bad relationship that’s teaching you to grow? Could it be simply having food or two arms and two legs. Pick one thing each morning and find different angles of looking at it to practice new ways of being grateful for things that are easy to take for granted.
Bonus Exercise: Keep a short gratitude journal. You don’t have to write much but keep track of what you’re grateful for each day. Write in this every night before bed.
Have Fun!
As adults we forget to have fun. When we’re kids that’s all we think about. When we’re adults we have jobs, responsibilities and people to take care of.
But don’t forget to have fun. Plan for it. Schedule it in your Google Calendar if you have to. When you’re having fun, it’s a meditation. You’re in the moment. You are present in the eternal “now.”
This is where creativity, abundance and healing flows from. It’s the source. Do whatever you have to do to have fun, even if you have to do it alone.
Exercise: Pick a hobby you’d like to pursue. Pick an activity you’d like to learn or simply do that causes you to have fun, move your body and stay in the moment. This could be simply, hiking, playing a game of ping pong, sewing, or having coffee with friends. Find one thing and put it in your planner this week.
What’s Your Purpose?
This is the hardest question to get an answer to as adults. The reason why we are disconnected from knowing the answer is complex and we will not focus on that now.
If you don’t know what your purpose is, pray about it. Ask God and ask yourself. Usually it’s related to something you enjoy like a hobby or something you love that you do on your off time.
Or your purpose could be related to some injustice you see in the world that needs fixing.
It could also be something to do with connection to other people and relationships. Ultimately we’re here to learn and help others.
When you are in alignment with your purpose, you need to be here. The world needs you and God needs you to fulfill that purpose. If you have a purpose and are deeply connected to it, illness can’t be a part of that because that would take you away from your purpose.
Your goal is to figure out what that is and start executing on it.
Exercise: Before you go to bed each night, ask God to help you find your purpose. Make that an intention. Make it something you ask for. Write it down. Look for it when you’re driving. Think about it. Ponder it when you’re walking to and from places. During your meditation, make it all about finding what your purpose is. It should take less than 30 days for you to discover it.
