Wednesday 20th August - Week Five Day Three - Global Health Challenge - Human ECO Challenge DAY

To make LIFE changes you need to change your LIFE.

The first step in this is Un-Learning – it’s a made up word and refers to the habit-breaking that we need to undertake. Before we can do that we have to recognize that an unhealthy habit, pattern, or trigger point is something that you do on a regular basis that you then need to become aware of, as it could be hampering your success in certain aspects of your life.

Then we can experience success with this new strategy to implement life-long health benefits that require you committing to change and to recognize those habits, patterns or trigger points that have failed YOU in the past.

They say that to continuously repeat a habit that doesn’t succeed is the definition of insanity or in our diet obsessed lifestyles = failure. This consistency to do something failing us becomes a bad thing if it causes you concern or does you harm. Basically, we need to implement NEW more pro-active changes in order to succeed with our new plan.

Why would you repeat something you know is going to fail?
Could it be because you are not aware of the reasons for continuing?
Is it because “change” would mean acknowledging a pattern of defeat from your past?
Whatever your answer, you cannot change this habit, pattern, or trigger point if you don’t become aware of it and acknowledge YOU want to change it. NOW is the time.

Think of something you have done in the past in a situation where you didn’t succeed but you know why. You are now aware of what caused the failure and hopefully you don’t make that same mistake again. This is learning from our mistakes, we do this with work and relationships so let's be sensible.

We need to apply that same analogy for our bodies and health plan because we make a lot of mistakes. We fail to learn from a young age how our bodies work. We then add to this lack of knowledge and confusion or “myth-information”, with unrealistic plans and goals that consistently cause us to fail and dislike ourselves.

I’m not a psychologist but I have listened to thousands of my clients who have told me that they dislike themselves but in fact when we spoke further, I found out what they really dislike is their appearance. It’s kind of like hating your clothes, we just need to change this so you like what you see !

We need to learn to apply “knowledge based awareness” to achieve success for our health. This could help us to be more forgiving of our mistakes and allow us to feel better about who we are. Your body does not define who or what you are as it is merely a machine or vessel that we travel around in.

Now with this NEW Human ECO System plan can begin to allow yourselves to see healthy pattern forming habits. Learning the correct information and then applying it should provide a different and more positive outcome (in the mirror too).

Tomorrow we take the next step in our plan which is Re-Learning.
