Change The Way I Eat
…continued from “Obstacles To Our Ability To Change The Way We Eat.“
So How Do I Change The Way I Eat
You may now understand that certain foods are bad for your body and cause illness, and you were eating this way slowly weakening the body over a long period of time.
At the point you realize how eating certain foods harm the body you have already established patterns in your body and mind that your natural programming wants to reinforce.
One thing I learned about change is that even though you may be doing something with your character that is not good for you, it is what you know how to do and there is comfort in that. Change can be scary because you may not know how to change what you are doing, or if changing will actually result in something that is better for you.
You don’t know if you can actually achieve the change you want because you have never done it before. Your identity is already built and you don’t know if you are capable of doing or being something else.
Changing your eating habits can be hard, but it is definitely possible. I have learned that usually something big has to happen in a person’s life to shock a person enough to disrupt their ingrained patterns, or their identity.
In order to enact change at this point, a systematic way of doing something different must be provided. You should have a support system to help guide and keep the you on track, or at the least distance yourself from people who would serve as an obstacle to you changing your eating habits.
No one said change was going to be easy, but the important thing to know is that change is possible and you have to go after it whole heartedly!
- Education is the key.
- Having an understanding of how you are developed and how to change your life is key.
- Having a knowledge of how and what foods are good and bad for you is key.
- Having knowledge that shows you how to use foods to strengthen you for healthy living is key.
- Having models of what you want to achieve is key
- Having contact with people who walk their talk and who can show you how they were able to achieve what you want to acheive
- Having a systematic way to approach changing the way you eat is key.
I love change and I embrace it. Change provides me with an opportunity to do something different, gain a different perspective and grow. I learned that you cannot change and grow by doing the same things, it is impossible!
You have to be willing to let things go and accept new things, or you will be forever in the same spot you are in. You have to be willing to learn new things and pick and choose what you want to keep for yourself.
Peace and Blessings be with you.
