It’s really difficult not to beat yourself up when you see others looking fit and healthy — especially on social media — and you feel neither. In your head, you’re constantly wondering what it is that you’re doing ‘wrong’ when it looks so easy for others.
Well, you will be pleased to hear that despite what the weight loss industry would like you to believe, there are four keys that will help you to achieve optimum health and permanent weight loss have absolutely nothing to do with calorie counting, how much exercise you can cram into your day or even what the scale says.
The four keys are:
1. Mindfulness — Being mindful of the fact that you — and you alone — have the power to heal yourself from within. It’s how your body works. Begin to be mindful of the little things, such as how much water you drink and concentrating on your breath will help you to become more self aware and let go of the trigger of what other people think about you.
2. Commitment — It is never too late to change. If you make a mistake today, tomorrow is a brand new day. However, you do need to invest time and energy into yourself consistently, because again, no one else is going to do it for you.
3. Consistency — When you add a bit of the right exercise that you enjoy and makes you feel good, as well as allocate time on a daily basis to eat well and incorporate nurturing yourself (“me time”), then your well being will become a healthy habit.
4. And perhaps the most important — Patience…
Make It Your Virtue
We’ve all heard the saying that patience is a virtue. And yet, it is something that has literally been thrown out the window in these modern times of instant gratification, when everything can be had at the click of a button and delivered to your door within minutes — your favourite takeaway — or overnight with your latest Amazon order.
Gone are the days when you would have to wait for anything, so it’s easy to see why the weight loss industry, with all of its corporate marketing budgets, can simply advertise a product they claim will magic wand fat away as you sleep. It’s a fact that every major weight loss company lies about the effects of their products to keep clients coming back again and again. And these products can even cause more harm to the body in the end.
There’s another old saying that says, good things come to those who wait. Slow and steady is the way to achieve anything of worth, despite any obstacles or difficulties that may get in the way. Of course, this also requires strength, courage and self control, although when you have patience, these qualities are much easier to develop.
Cultivating patience will also:
Boost your mental health — You’re less likely to experience negative emotions and depression when you become more patient with yourself.
Elevate kindness and empathy — You’ll not only become a good listener, but will also have the ability to stay calm when someone projects anger or irritability towards you. You won’t feel the need to fight back, which will defuse the situation instead of igniting it.
Improve your physical health — Besides helping you on your weight loss journey, problems like headaches, high blood pressure and irritable bowel syndrome can be relieved when you become more patient. This is because whenever you feel impatient, your body is in a fight-or-flight stress response, which will ultimately lead to even more damaging health problems. Stress is the main contributing factor of the six leading diseases causing death.
