Cultivating and aligning with a Vision of what you want so that you are acting on being inspired by your Vision Of
Health rather than
Willpower
Reducing the Urge for Emotional Eating And Transcending Food Addictions, and helping form purposeful
non-emotional eating habits
Socializing in ways that are healthy
Lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, LDL Cholesterol, and Triglyerides, and reducing one's risk of Heart Disease, Type 2 and 3 Diabetes, and Cancer, by incorporating the results of credible research
This can be easier to do by focusing on learning about what different food does for the body and how some foods have been
found to be harmful, according to recent research, and focusing on improving Health, and reducing one's risk of Cancer,
rather than focusing on losing weight or appearance because reduced risk of Cancer, lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol
and healthy arteries, are not things that are obvious from outside appearance.
It can be easy to feel discouraged if you can't see results in weight-loss/muscle
development, which is very hard to do for many people. Improvement in blood tests will often be seen before weight-loss/muscle
development, so it can be very helpful to focus on measuring improvement shown by blood tests and blood pressure
monitoring, so you can feel encouraged by this, rather than focusing on weight, and let weight-loss be a later side-effect of improved health that you are not focusing on.
Finding ways to incorporate information from the latest research regarding nutrition in a way that is sustainable for you over time
Working more Movement into one's routine -- This can be done more easily by focuing on the Danger of what remaining Sedentary can cause (i.e., poor circulation, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Periferal Artery Disease, weaker heart, etc.)
and how movement and keeping the heart healthy enough to maintain Healthy Circulation is so important, and focusing on improving artery and heart Health, rather than focusing on losing weight or appearance, because improved circulation
and reduced risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis, Periferal Artery Disease, and heart disease
isn't obvious from outside appearance.
It can be easy to feel discouraged if you can't see results in weight-loss/muscle
development, which is very hard to do for many people despite exercising more. Improvement in blood tests will often be seen before weight-loss/muscle
development, so it can be very encouraging to focus on measuring improvement shown by blood tests and blood pressure
monitoring, and let weight-loss be a later side-effect of improved health that you are not focusing on.
Understanding that the "best" exercises are the ones you will do over time, finding ways to make regularly doing the following kinds of exercises work for you over time:
Evidence-Based Gentle Exercises for: Bone-Strengthening and density-increasing (Including Teeth), Heart Strengthening, Muscle Firming, Menopause symptom relief,
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Lowering High LDL Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels, reducing risk of Migraine, Cancer, Heart Attack, Stroke, and Type 2 and Type 3 Diabetes
Rewiring your brain to come to view eating food that research has found to be the healthiest and exercising at least
6 minutes a day to boost your immunity (according to recent research) as things you
"get" to do rather than something you "have" to do
Cultivating self-compassion, self-love, self-acceptance, confidence, and awareness of how your body, "overweight," "old," or
"unfit" as it may be,
helps you do the things you love to do, and cultivating an appreciation for keeping it as healthy as you comfortably can
Using Pain Neuroscience information to help manage Pain
Appreciating that research shows that getting less than 7 hours of sleep a night increases the risk of all-cause mortality, that sleep deprivation increases levels of adrenaline that may cause one to incorrectly believe that they don't "need" any more sleep, that this increased adrenaline
may be the cause of one's face and ears to be red and warm, and that this sustained high level of adrenaline is not healthy.
And also appreciating that the average sleep cycle lasts from 90-100 minutes and that many people wake up after each sleep cycle, especially as they get older, and
appreciating the research that shows how alcohol interferes with health-improving deep sleep, and using magnesium malate instead of alcohol to help with improving sleep depth and falling back asleep after waking up after each sleep cycle
Identifying what is needed for one's own personal Self-Care, considering one's unique needs and preferences, believing that Self-Care is not Selfish, and seeing that effective Self-Care, when tailored to one's
unique needs and preferences, can increase one's performance and
ability to care for others
Anxiety/Fear Reduction, Relaxation Skill Development, Stress Management, Confidence Building, Finding Balance, and Becoming more Comfortable With Uncertainty and Change; Developing the skill of Noting What Needs To Be Done And Then Focusing On Doing
It, Rather Than Wasting Energy Worrying About it; Developing the skill of focusing only on
the present moment at times, recognizing that Anxiety and Fear are related to the Future and when we
truly focus on only the Present Moment, it is impossible to feel Fear or Anxiety
Diplomatic & Effective Boundary Setting, Creating Options, and Developing Self-Esteem, Self-Love, and Self-Care
