When I look at the actions I make that are still not good for my health, I let my ego step in and tell myself I will change and improve taking away the feelings I had for a second about not choosing something good for myself. As soon as I told myself I would change I am more at ease without ever having to feel the sensations brought on by my original thought.
I’m learning recently that an important factor in actually keeping my health is to let go of my ego wanting to make everything better and just spend some time being aware of my unhealthy ways. I let the feelings of what I am doing sink in while looking at how my automatic choices are destructive and keeping me from a strong healthy life. At this time I will not make any choices to change, but I will just let my body feel the restrictions.
It seems like this would be easier then telling myself that I will take action and change, but it’s the opposite way with me. Just being aware and accepting my faults let me face my demons without my tough ego making up excuses. I get the chance to see how these demons or bad habits are keeping me from being where I want to be. Once it sinks in deep I can start to look at all the different choices that are available to me, the healthy choices.
