A NEW DIETARY APPROACH – HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL SURROUND YOURSELF WITH EXCELLENCE

A NEW DIETARY APPROACH – HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL SURROUND YOURSELF WITH EXCELLENCE

What a simple exercise, yet how profound its impact!  Creating a habit of choosing ‘Excellence’ as your mantra will have you reaching goals you never dreamed possible.

We are who we associate with.  We are what we eat.  We are who we think we are.  We do what we say we can do.  Imagine applying ‘Excellence’ to all of the above!  WOW!  Can’t you just FEEL the ENERGY rising in you?

Let us assume you wish to start practicing healthier habits and choose to focus on your diet.

Who We Associate With:  Are you spending time today surrounding yourself with people who are healthy, trim, energetic, and practicing good eating and exercise habits?   People who motivate you by their thoughts, words and/or actions?

Or, has your friend/co-worker/sibling just called you and said, “Let’s go grab a coffee (you know donuts or a pastry automatically attach itself to the cup when being served) and catch up.”

Though the social opportunity is fulfilling, bad food choices and inactivity will not support your higher goal.  Did you know by choosing the coffee, our body’s NATURAL inclination is to create balance – therefore the desire for something sweet and creamy to balance the bitterness, and thinness of coffee propel us to make unhealthy readily-available choices.

What we eat:

By keeping poor quality food choices in our pantry, our cabinets, our refrigerator (‘just in case…..’) we do more harm to derail our dietary goals than just about any other action we take.  Do not bring anything in to the house that does not support your goals, that you know will set you up for failure. 

Excellence means having high quality, superior nutrient food in your kitchen, on your counters, and more specifically in our bodies!  You can’t achieve excellent health by consuming inferior fuel.  John Robbins recently said, “Our mouths are dumb, they’ll accept anything we give it.”  Choose EXCELLENCE!

Who We Think We Are:

By keeping our thoughts focused on SUCCESS (not on failure, the past, or negative experiences) and practicing being the EXCELLENT person we are (Yes, even if you don’t feel it.) you’ll soon BE that person.  If you focus on being a healthy, fit, lean, powerful machine then you will soon be that person you see yourself to be.

“I AM who I say I am, I can DO what I say I can do, and I can BE who I say I can be!”  If you’re thinking ‘Excellence’ then you:

ARE who you say you are;

Will DO what you say you can do;

Will BE who you say you will be;

A person of Excellence!

In practicing excellent healthier eating habits you will experience excellent health.  Therefore, don’t just go ‘through the motions’ of trying to eat healthier.  Do you honestly think a smaller helping of poor food choices is making you healthier?  At best it is going to make you hungrier!    

What if, instead, you practiced filling your plate full of whole, fresh foods that are packed full of nutrients, learned to prepare your favorite dishes using these high quality foods, and searched for NEW recipes to meet your demand for healthier dishes.  What you do today will have an impact on tomorrow – take control.  Seek out Excellence! Take a raw food preparation class.  Attend

Eventually you will be eating healthy food that tastes so good you’ll forget what bad food taste like.  Your desire for it will have disappeared.
