How to go raw article

Magical Chest » Does it take self-discipline to go raw?

I like how the post says that self-discipline is not the way to go. Self-discipline it seems to me is going against the flow of your desire. If you want to do something it's much better to convince every cell of your being of the importance/advantage of the undertaking so that it will promptly and with alacrity execute it.

I strongly believe that every goal needs a self-discipline, and as I see people on raw and as I remember myself - it all starts with curiosity, courage, but it can last only on SELF-DISCIPLINE.

I am sorry to say this, but without discipline raw food...will be another diet ( a week, two weeks, month, 90 days diet ).

After certain time of being hyped up with all the new crazy things, there usually comes a time of doubt or time of laziness.
It can happen after month or half of a year.
You stop juicing or blending.
You stop looking for the best nutrition ever.
You don't eat enough, because you didn't prepare anything ahead.
Human thing - bored...

After two years one needs to usually find another "raw food" idea to keep it interesting.

As long as you treat it as a diet, temporary thing - you don't need much of a self-discipline. All is fun and fun and fun.
You might not even notice that you are actually using a self-discipline as a tool to blend, chop and get more interested in reading raw food books.

But than, what I strongly believe, come your self-discipline, plan, routine of some sort into play. Without it we usually end up at the nearest cooked restaurant.

;-) sorry to put this sour picture out here.
But what is important, self-discipline, goal setting, planning can be as much a JOY as playing in kindergarten!
If we will not believe in this - we won't be a part of Steve Pavlina's forum!

Humans are extremely habitual and ritualistic beings, so once you made it a habit it is very likely that you will remain on the path. You have become comfortable with the feeling and if you fall off it will feel weird and uncomfortable and you will get right back on track.

To make it through to make it a habit, takes a lot of self-discipline though.
