If you can accept the reality that people feel better, work better and live a healthier life when they are not criticized for who they are, you may be on to something.
We live in a time where there appears to be one way to happiness; and that is through wealth, having lots of “stuff,” and being fit and trim. How you get there is another story. Is it necessary to have those things to be happy and live a productive life? I don’t think so.
It can be agreed that we need to work with our daily choices. The old saying, “you are what you eat,” can be true when it comes to our general health, but we need to consider a number of things when it comes to our health. Our hereditary make up, the medications we are on, and the diseases we may be fighting.
Stress changes your metabolic rate. Anxiety changes your ability to function.
Let’s spend the next few days on deciding what you really want to accomplish, and how you can modify your current lifestyle to get there. You may want to “change” the people you love, to bring them to another level of awareness…but you may alienate them in the process.
Allow people to learn how they need to change themselves. Generate an interest in change, but allow them to find their path. Support them. Love them. Accept them. Watch magic happen when change becomes their idea! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
