We get stuck in ruts, routines, and or quickly drop healthy routines if something else becomes priority and then it’s hard to gain momentum again because we are comfortable. It’s easy to be comfortable, it feels good, it takes less effort, less time, and there is no risk or fear in most cases.
Being comfortable though can quickly slide you in a unhealthy direction.
Sitting on the couch is comfortable yet it causes a quick decline in mental, physical health, decline in muscle volume, decreased heart and lung health to name a few.
Eating processed foods, excess carbohydrates, cookies, cakes, muffins can be comfortable as they are easy to consume and take less work, yet create huge insulin spikes within anyone’s physiology, (even your children), creating elevated inflammation in the body which is the number one cause of illness and disease. Ugh Dr. Coburn why are you typing such negativity.
You have an opportunity for change now. At any age.
It’s not until many are in a crisis that they take maybe some action steps to move forward with their health as it has become something that is inconvenient to their lifestyle and list of chosen to do’s.
You either choose to take radical responsibility now to change your health trajectory and take control and so the next generation through your actions of doing, moving, eating, and thinking can make changes. Small actionable steps to move you toward healthier habit will help you now and in the future. This modelling healthy habits to your children changes generations. It takes less time and effort now to care for yourself than it does to care for yourself when you have an illness or disease. Hmm
Do you recall that saying or phrase, “your children are watching?” They are – everything – you get to interrupt the pattern of habits that lead to lesser levels of health by radically choosing different to show the momentum of change and ease to incorporate healthy choices every day in your life – this helps you, your spouse, your children and future generations.
Get comfortable getting uncomfortable – it gets easier and creates a massive momentum that elevates energy, passion, excitement, joy and abundance of wonderful things.
