Have you chosen health as a state of being?

Have you noticed your state of being lately?  Are you happy, healthy, financially free, and peaceful, or are you sad, depressed, financially strapped or angry?  Have you even noticed your state of being?

Most people are so busy with the “doing” of their life that they don’t even give their state of being a second thought.  However, when you consciously choose your being, you can create a life that leaves you feeling blessed.

Choosing your being is just like incorporating a value into your life.  First, you consciously choose it.  Consciously – that means you have to give it some thought!  For example, let’s say you choose to be healthy.  Then you look at why this is important to you.  If you lived the rest of your life in the state of being healthy what would that mean to you?  Is there something about being healthy that you believe is significant to the quality of your life?  For example, I might choose to be healthy so I can live a long life and have fun actively playing with my grandchildren.  If you don’t have a compelling reason for your choice of being, it will be difficult for you consistently act upon your choice.  That is the third component of this process – making decisions and taking action based upon what you’ve chosen.  YIKES – that means you have to be conscious again!   No more mindless eating. 

Most diet programs start with doing (actions) without choosing a state of  being first.  This never works because you can only will yourself to do something for so long before the pendulum swings back the other way.   You’ve seen this in action, haven’t you?

However, when you choose your state of being, you are motivated to take new and different actions from an entirely different state than willpower.  Before you know it, those new actions will be incorporated into your life in a way that will be so important to you that you won’t be willing to give them up.  That’s when permanent change happens.
