What's Getting in the Way of You Feeling Outrageously Healthy Today?

Wouldn't it be great to feel outrageously healthy today and everyday of your life? I bet the minute you read that question all kinds of thoughts flowed for you - "of course I do but..." So what came after the but? What's holding you back?

Make a list of all of the things that come up for you when you ask this question, or the things you see as reasons you can't possibly feel outrageously healthy right NOW!

Go on write down your list; no-one's watching and you don't have to share it if you don't want to!
What did you come up with - I'm overweight, I smoke, I have no energy, I don't exercise, everyone in my family suffers from... I am sure the reasons are as many and varied as the wonderful people reading this e-book. And you know none of this has anything to do with feeling outrageously healthy, because feeling outrageously healthy is a state of mind, not a state of body. You get to choose an outrageously healthy state of mind and my mission is to show you how you can make this choice and transform the quality of your life and health, easily and effortlessly. You know, once you decide to start feeling outrageously healthy at every opportunity, then you'll start acting outrageously healthy too! It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. What kind of impact do you think that will have on you and the people around you? You may even find some of the reasons you gave for not feeling outrageously healthy start to move and shift because once you do feel outrageously healthy, you might then start acting like an outrageously healthy person? I bet you will.

I have a question for you? How many times have you started on Monday? You know what I mean - Monday is the day you're starting that diet, or exercise program, or giving up smoking, or you're going to stop biting your nails... Have you started on Monday more than once? Wow I can hear you from where I am sitting! Yes of course you have, and so have I. Why did we need to start more than once? Why wasn't the first time the solution that got us to our goal? I have an idea why all these Monday starts haven't gotten us to where we want to be. It's because we have been using willpower to overcome whatever we see as an issue - we will just stop eating our favorite food, or just stop smoking. We will just decide to do it and that's it! The thing with willpower is it is only one tool we have at our disposal and it's a tool of your conscious mind. What does this mean? It means that for you to take action you have to be consciously thinking about it all the time and that is really hard work. You have to be vigilant all the time; aware of what you are doing every minute of every day and it's exhausting. Guess what happens - you sometimes slip up then what do you do? How do you feel? I bet you feel really awful; maybe even thinking, "oh no I've failed again". And then what do you do? Slide back into the old habit again and feel even worse. That's right, isn't it?
