Dieting? Want and Desire are DangerousWritten by Dr. Jamie Fettig
This is a very important topic that needs to be addressed. People always talk about wanting this or wanting that. You have a thing in your brain called your Reticular Activating System or RAS for short The RAS's job is to find everything in "outside world" that exactly matches what you have programmed into your "inside world". Your RAS is kind of like having "Google" in your head. Everything that is in your RAS, your brain will go out and try to find exactly that.So if you want something, your RAS will find exactly that, wanting. You will not actually have thing you want, you will have wanting of that thing. Let me say that again. If you want something, RAS will never get you that thing because then you will not have wanting anymore, which is programmed into RAS. So to give you exactly what is on inside, you will always be wanting it, and not actually having it. Whether or not you followed logic, here is what you need to know. If you want something you will never have that thing. You will only have wanting. So instead of wanting something, you must change want into a now statement like "I AM". . . followed by what you formerly wanted. For example, lets say you want to lose weight. You will never lose weight because then you would not have want. So you would change want to lose weight to something like . . . I AM slim and healthy now.
| | Dieting? What You Need to Know About Physical ActivityWritten by Dr. Jamie Fettig
What is best form of physical activity? The best form of physical activity is what you will actually do often. That is it. What you will actually do. And good news is, it can be something different every day. You can walk one day, run another, go swimming another, play Frisbee golf another, go golfing next, rollerblade next day, ride your bike another day, etc. You do not have to do same thing every day. But you can if you want to. Some hints on what your inner knowing might say around physical activity: One day 30 minutes might be perfect for you, and next day only 10 minutes is good. Other days an hour or two might be ideal. One day a slow relaxing pace might be ideal, next a heavy vigorous workout might be called for. There are no rules about how and when you should or shouldn’t do physical activity. My only guideline would be: Do what you want to do, and listen to your inner knowing when doing it. The lawyers would want me to tell you to consult a physician before starting any exercise program here. My thought is, your inner knowing knows better than any doctor does about what is best for you. If you listen to your inner knowing and act on what it says, who cares about doctor?
