Many people find at times, that implementing lifestyle changes can be quite challenging.

Have you ever started something, like going to the gym or an exercise program, or tried to loose weight or go on a healthy lifestyle regime? Or for that matter, receive emails like these that have the potential to improve you and your family’s health and wellbeing? Have you found that initially you are full of enthusiasm, but as time passes whatever you wanted to implement has lost its zest?

Unfortunately, it seems that after a period of time you can go into a state of being overwhelmed, and then excuse after excuse seems to keep coming up and you no longer want to continue. Even though deep within your heart (Your Intuition) you know you should continue.

I am writing this today, early in your email series to let you know you’re not alone; it can be changed and it’s not your fault!

When this occurs, you may be experiencing a feeling of being a little “out of sync” and you may question whether you have made the right decision or if, indeed, the changes you want to make are necessary!

This thought process comes from the intellectual side of the brain.

It is important to note that the intellect interferes with your decisions and it tries to override your good intentions (Your Intuition). So, once you have begun a particular lifestyle change, you may find yourself asking the question “Are these changes really necessary and beneficial for me?” Or reading these emails takes time and my time is already short! This is a normal human thought process and it is also important for us to realise why this thinking occurs and how to conquer it.

A quote from Ancient Medicine makes a strong point by saying that “the cause of all disease is known as the mistake of the intellect.” Please take note here; Ancient medicine says ALL DISEASE not some diseases. Ill health and poor quality of life are the result of intellectual choices made incorrectly, because the intuition has been over-ridden.

Either knowingly or unknowingly! The best scenario is when your Intellect and your Intuition are in sync. They are singing the same tune! Resonating the same truth!

Let’s observe some examples to prove this theory. Sometimes you may go to the fridge to take out an apple (good intentions coming from intuitive thought) and return with a piece of cake or anything else you know that you should not have (a perfect example of the Intellect over-riding your good intentions or Intuition). Here, the intellect overrules what you know is good for you, your intuition.

Another example is that of a diabetic person who craves for things that are not allowed in their diet - like bread, biscuits, pasta, refined sugar and carbohydrates. Or the person who just had a heart attack craves for fatty, fried foods that are known to clog the arteries. Or people who suffer from depression, panic attacks, mood swings or anxiety usually crave coffee, tea, chocolates, Pepsi, Coke and other stimulants that make the brain work over time.

Now please, this is a rule of thumb only, but unfortunately for most of the population it’s the truth.

Clients are amazed at how I can tell them what they crave. All they need to do is let me know their series of symptoms or disease and I can automatically advise their food cravings.

As you can see, the intellectual brain has a lot to answer for. It takes commitment and time to improve or change it.

The answer is simple, do the things that you know are right from your heart (your Intuition) and DON’T let your intellectual side of your brain overrule your good intentions. It sounds easy I know.

Will you be challenged . . . of course you will?

The way to be the person you want to be is not to be hard on yourself when you do fail, but just pick yourself up and return to those things or routine that you know will change your life for the better.

Also here’s something that I trust will help you to make those changes sooner rather than later.

Regrettably, we cannot retrieve time. An unknown author made these comments about time that might help you put things into perspective. He asks his reader what he would do if a bank credited his account every morning with $86,400. Just sit back for a sec and feel what this would be like.

This account carried over no daily balance and didn’t allow keeping cash in the account. Each night the bank cancelled the amount he hadn’t spent during that day. His reader’s response of course was that he would draw out every single cent each day. Then the author stated that you already have an account like this and that account is called “Time.”

Each morning you are credited with 86,400 seconds. They rule off each night, no matter if you failed to invest in them. It does not carry over balances and overdrafts are not allowed. Therefore each day a new account is opened for you. Every night the records of the day are burnt. So the loss is yours, even if you haven’t used the deposit every day.

What is the moral of this story?

You need to live in the present day and invest in today’s deposits to gain the most happiness, success and health for your life and for the ones you love.

Though it does take time to implement new lifestyle changes, make sure that you make use of every second wisely, make it count, stick to it, stay positive, use your intuition and you will be amazed how quickly these changes have turned into good habits, an easier lifestyle and fantastic health and wellbeing.

Yours in health
