This Friday will be my four week anniversary of no diet soda and two week anniversary of no artificial sweeteners. And that is great for me. This morning on The Healthy Breakfast Club I made a statement which thankfully Nancy, one of the club members, called me on.
I said, “Yesterday I really wanted a diet soda and if it were not for the support of my Healthy Breakfast Club members, I think I would have given in and had one. Knowing you were there to support me was what helped me decide - NO… If I had, I would have wasted almost four weeks of kicking the habit.”
Nancy immediately pointed out that was not true. I would not have wasted anything. I would still have over 21 days when my body was not filled with chemicals and artificial sweeteners. Thanks for catching me Nancy. How often do we do that to ourselves? Slow to give ourselves credit and quick to criticize? Way too often I think.
What can you congratulate yourself for today?

The physical dimension, one of the four dimensions of our nature, involves caring effectively for our physical body, eating the right kinds of foods, getting sufficient rest and relaxation, and exercising on a regular basis. Exercise can build your body in three areas: endurance, flexibility, and strength. Endurance comes from aerobic exercise and cardiovascular efficiency, flexibility comes through stretching, and strength from muscle resistance exercises. Probably the greatest benefit you will experience from exercising will be the development of your Habit 1 muscles of proactivity.
