Good Health Does Not Come From Pills, “Secrets”

It never seems to end. One celeb after another endorseing the next best way to great health or a hot body or weight loss in days. And if it is not an endorsement, it's a book or video proclaiming a near magic transition from the way you are now to a whole new you virtually overnight. And every time their product or book becomes an overnight sales bonanza. rnWell, unfortunately, the absolute harsh truth is, you are being duped! There are no magic ways to any type of change you wish to undertake, body, mind or spirit. rnThe REAL "Secret"? Health care professionals and credible, forthright fitness professionals know and have been espousing for decades now, that to make healthy changes in you or any aspect of you - body or mind or spirit - takes, first, an intention to change, then the action involving those changes. And do not be mislead. The intentions and actions must become a way of life if you are expecting the final results to be maintained for the rest of your life! rnIt may be a bit of a let down to read this, but it is the reality, because outside of this, there are no secrets and no magic drugs, rubs, lotions, potions, pills or program that you can take or follow for a short time and then, PRESTO!, a new you emerges forever. rnGenerally, what does produce life long change in the process - and yes, it is a process - of making a healthy lifestyle for yourself, and, as a result , a healthy you, is a two-fold approach to every lifestyle change you undertake: K.I.S.S. and D.I.G.S. That's, "Keep It Simple Stupid" and "Do It Gradually Stupid". And with the way folks are devouring these celeb endorsed books and products, the last word in the preceeding phrases is, unfortunately, taking on real meaning! rnThere are so many resources by credible authorities in their field that have published books, have websites and that are available for coaching/consulting/counseling that you can tap into. But just how do you discern which ones are going to assist you in tranforming into that healthy person living a healthy lifestyle on all planes? Put the secrets and magic away, once and for all. That is, the minute you see or hear the words "secrets", "magic", "quick", "fast", "easy", "instant", or any other similar word or term describing the product or method, forget about it! Put it down and turn away! rnWhether desiring healthy changes for body, mind or spirit, any combination thereof, or for all three, the bottom line is that you are going to have to do some work and put effort into your changes and allow them time to take effect. Remember, make the intention, take the actions, hold fast to the intention, continue with the actions, and, above all, be patient. As you go about your activities of daily living, you will soon realize, "see", that a transformation is unfolding in you and about you as concerns your intentions.
