This is a fundamental question. What I have learned in 30 years of practice is that until a person has come to a place of committed willingness, very little will be accomplished toward healing and wellness.
There is a pervasive belief in out society that happiness is external to myself. I am therefore always in a state of lack and desire. So I must look for the cause of my happiness or the solution to my symptoms externally. This is the proverbial dog chasing its tail. Even if it catches its tail, it’ll end up biting itself and causing pain, instead of happiness.
According to Dr. David Ludwig from Boston’s Children Hospital, statistics validate 1 in 3 children today are obese (JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association). He began to study genes and switched to the environmental causes of obesity and the effects obesity creates in adulthood (chronic pain, inflammatory conditions, heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes). What he concluded is that it is a lifestyle.
What this says to me is that it is our beliefs and habits that turn on certain genes, which create our body physiology and state of health or ill health. This brings us back to willingness.
Are you willing to:
1. eat different than you have been or were taught or raised with?
2. drink differently than you have been or were raised with?
3. exercise differently than you have been or were taught?
4. think differently than you have been or were raised with?
