INSPIRING LIFE SCHOOL PODCAST

EPISODE 39 TRANSCRIPT:

WHEN YOU TREAT YOUR BODY LIKE CRAP

 

 

Here I will be sharing with you a chapter from my book WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? 50 Truth Bombs to Change Your Life.

The lessons from this book also form the backbone for my MINDFUL LIVING MASTER COURSE.

But today I am sharing with you a free chapter today because I believe so strongly that this is information that every person in this world would benefit from learning.

This book WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND is different from all the other personal development books.

 

It focuses less on “what you need to DO or CHANGE” to make your life super fabulous and more on “what you need to UNDERSTAND” to make your life more manageable and special.

 

If you find that you are always fighting things rather than living in peace and going with the flow, this book will highlight 50 truth bombs that you need to understand to free yourself from that constant pain, suffering and torment cycle.

 

This book is the wake-up call you desperately need.

To live well and have more clarity and understanding in our life, we really need to embrace these truth bombs.

So, are you ready now to change your life?

Are you ready now to understand?

So here goes: the lesson or chapter today is called: 

 

YOU CAN’T EXPECT TO BE HEALTHY IF YOU TREAT YOUR BODY LIKE CRAP

 

So here’s the thing…we all want to be healthy but various obstacles stand in our way every day.  

I know, I know, we all have our excuses about why we can’t help but eat crap and why we avoid strenuous exercise as if it’s a demon waiting to engulf us. 

I have used a million excuses of my own.

But then we get upset when our clothes don’t fit and the scales creep higher.

Seriously?

 

If it’s true what they say: we are what we eat then many of us are fast, cheap, easy and fake. 

 

We spend half our life wishing for one thing (to be healthy! to be fit and not flabby!) and the other half doing the very thing that fuels the fire of an unhealthy lifestyle.

Then one day this truth bomb goes off and it becomes blatantly obvious.

If you eat crap, you feel like crap. 

 

Let me repeat this line for you: if you continue to eat crap, you will continue to feel like crap.

 

If you treat your body as if it’s a garbage bin and consume food without giving any thought to portion size or its nutritional content then one day your body will resemble a garbage bin.

This truth bomb has the potential to make a pivotal change in the quality of your life.

 

Reason being: over-indulging in fast food can lead to various health issues. 

 

Unhealthy eating has been known to cause Type 2 diabetes, fatigue, weakness and fluctuations in blood sugar levels, trigger digestive problems, affect brain function, increase your risk of cancers, damage your liver and cause kidney disease. 

None of us want those issues, do we?

On the other hand, physical inactivity (also known as not getting off your butt to exercise) increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, depression, obesity and breast and colon cancer.

 

This makes the combination of unhealthy eating and lack of exercise a double whammy.

 

Once this truth bomb goes off in your brain, it is amazing how much easier it is to resist junk food and opt instead for healthier alternatives. 

Here’s the truth: your body is the only home you have to live, so you need to nurture it, honor it, love it and respect it.

If you don’t do that, whatever you eat in private you will wear in public. 

 

Your body is a reflection of your lifestyle.

 

That doesn’t mean you need to focus solely on being skinny – far from it!

That’s not what this truth bomb is about. 

Instead, it means understanding that when you clean up your diet and exercise regularly, your weight will take care of itself. 

 

You don’t have to eat less; you just have to eat right. 

 

So stop rewarding yourself with food.

You are not a dog.

Losing weight and being healthy may seem hard but being fat and unhealthy is hard too, so take your pick. 

The only thing standing between you and a healthy lifestyle is that BS story you keep telling yourself.

 

Remember health is your greatest wealth. 

 

 

The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. Ann Wigmore
