Problem Solving -- for your good health:
The right supplements can help & really good doctors can help a lot if you work with them right.
But these three practices are the foundation of good health:
*Eating right:
Many of you know that eating right virtually all the time helps keep you healthy & that eating the wrong foods will make you fat & sick if you do it enough.
(I hope the series we’ve run from 4-14 to 7-11, Tuesday earlier this week, on foods that actually help your health to eat & foods to eat less of or not eat & why has been useful to you & given you some ideas you’ve tried or will try.
And, this blog will keep covering news & ideas & resources to help you eat right.)
*Exercising & being physically active every week:
Many of you know that doing regular exercise & physical activities each week is incredibly beneficial in literally dozens of ways. Some of you know that doing NO regular exercise will tend to make you sick if you do no exercise long enough. And, most of you know that people who exercise enough are a lot less fat than similar people who do no exercise.
(Soon, we plan to do a post almost every week on some benefit of exercise or a new study confirming its health benefits & access to resources to help you exercise successfully.)
*Escaping & relieving excessive stress
-- & WITHOUT smoking, overeating, or over-using alcohol:
Do you feel more stressed out than you’d like? Most of us do.
What you may not know are the many reasons it protects your health to be able to turn down your level of stress when it gets too high &/or to physically relieve your stress if it is affecting you physically or emotionally.
And, most people do not know or never use the most effective techniques for doing these things.
(Soon, we plan to do a post almost every week with that information & tools that might work well for you to help you escape excessive stress or physically relieve it successfully & do it WITHOUT smoking, overeating, or over-using alcohol.)
The good news is that many, or even most, of you reading this know these things; but the bad news is you aren’t yet doing them.
Problem Solving.
In our future posts, we plan to keep making it easier & more likely for you to do these 3 things & reap the benefits.
But, if you aren’t yet doing them or doing them effectively enough to work well, something, an obstacle or problem of some kind, is holding you back.
Here’s a tip to get started. Ignore what you cannot yet do. Find things in that area you CAN already do & the ones you CAN already do to start removing the obstacle.
Do the ones most likely to work & the ones easiest for you to do that will clearly be helpful to get you started.
Then do those & keep expanding the things you are already actually doing.
One world-class expert who studied some of the most effective people in the world found exactly this.
He found the ineffective people saw the things they couldn’t do -- & then stopped there.
Ouch !!
The effective people saw the same obstacles & were just as unhappy with them.
Then they made a list or thought through what they could already do to get the results they wanted. Then they picked the ones most likely to work & the ones that were clearly helpful & easiest to do & did those.
That said, sometimes it can be incredibly helpful to know how other people have solved the problems you face & did it successfully. And, in many cases it can be critically helpful to know what techniques they used.
>>> What is holding YOU back?
If any of you reading this post have problems that are holding you back from eating right, exercising, or relieving stress,
please post a comment saying what they are.
I may know how to overcome them, & even if not, can likely point you in the right direction.
The value for me is that I can write future posts that you will find useful by knowing what is holding you back.
