So just figure out which habits you want to improve upon or change and gradually incorporate it into your life. As with anything in life there are always many factors working together that affect your health-work, relationships, spirituality, stress, etc. It's not always possible to focus on everything at once, so just take 1-2 areas at a time. Many people, like Steve, have found the raw diet to positively improve every other area of life. Sometimes all it takes it that one thing that you change that works. If not, then you try something else. Always listen to your intuition and pay attention to how you feel physically to get clues. |
This is really great advice Dimond! But I have noticed that the majority of
people that try to change their habits do not know how to effectively move
from an oscillating pattern in their life to one that advances and produces
irreversible, long term success. Instead of using the circumstances (factors)
in their lifes as forces that can help them to create new life-long habits,
they simply start to fight, try to control, or even ignore these circumstances,
when in reality they are simply part of our every day life and we can learn to
work with them so that they help us to advance toward our goals.
The conflict that is in our mind is something people want to get control off,
and waste a lot of time in their life attempting to do this, when in reality it
is not under our control, it somehow has a life of its own, and if people stop
trying to control it, maybe they could then start to become aware of the
inner intuition that you mention and this could help them better focus on
the current circumstances in their lives, and use them as the starting
point from which they could work on new habits that work for them in the
long term, and bring them the end results that they truly desire
because what is a fact is that we can take steps toward creating that
*something* that is really important and that truly matters to us only
in the present moment, we can't go back into the past and change anything
and we can't go in the future and do something there, here and now is the
only place that we can *objectively* change our reality from what it is now
to what we want it to be in the near future. There are no tricks to this, and
from my experience it seems the majority of people that do not create long
term results do not understand that this is really how we create our realities
