Have you ever found yourself wishing you felt better physically?  Well, making the conscious choice to be healthier is a great step on the path to good health.

When we have our health, we have everything in life.  And, as we exhaust our health, so is our life exhausted also.  It is my belief we create our own reality.  It follows from this belief that it is vital we consciously know health at our core in order to propagate it throughout our being. 

Sometimes we might run into people or engage in behaviors ourselves where, stuck in our story and drama, we share how bad we feel.  Of course, we are always right.  If we say or think we feel bad, we will feel bad or worse, even as we may experience some temporary relief via the sympathy our efforts elicit.  

At a deeper level however, this kind of thought pattern leaves us and the universe looking for ways to miscreate more poor health for us.  Sympathy after all is just another way people feel bad for us.  You see where this leads, yeah?

Better if we choose to concentrate on where we feel well. 

We always feel well on some level.  Paraphrasing Reverend Michael Beckwith’s shapeshifting paradigm, we need to know of a place where we are healthy.   The process is then to creatively shift this healthy energy into areas where we wish to feel increased vitality.

This is of course one method.  Another is to keep our thinking positive when it comes to health.  For instance, if one is trying to lose weight or quit smoking, every time our eager friends ask us about our diet or how long it has been since our last cigarette, we start creating thoughts about eating or another smoke. 

Better to concentrate instead on health and healthy choices.  So if asked about how our diet or the quitting of habits, try thinking and responding like this:    I decided for the last two weeks to live a healthier life, and have been doing much better at it, thank you for inquiring. 

It is much easier to choose among healthier items on a menu or to engage in the healthier of activities options than to quit a habit.  For instance, one may easily choose between the healthier of a 3/4 lb cheese burger or a fresh garden salad.    We do all things in the present.  Thus, we make all choices in the present.   To choose to eat 2000 calories a day is much tougher to keep track of than to choose to engage in healthy activities and dietary habits on a case by case basis, in the present.  It is particularly difficult to keep to 2000 calories when we keep counting the calories.  We basically obsess on food on an average diet.  How much did I eat?  What can I eat?  When am I going to eat?  Eat… eat… eat….  Usually, its all about food. 

How to be moderate about something we obsess over?  Make healthy choices on a case by case basis in the moment.   

Any choice is much more easily made, in a healthy way in the moment.

Peace and healthy choices,
