I’ve often used visualization in my journey of health. I do this most often in the gym, I picture myself as who I want to be in a year from now, and I become that person. The person in a year is a person who can do an extra mile on the treadmill, who can lift 15 pounds more than they are lifting right now, the person who loves going to the gym.
Maybe the person you want to be eats a healthy plant based diet, maybe they understand what goes into the food they eat. Maybe that person loves eating whole nutrient dense foods and enjoys it.
Maybe the person you want to be is disease free, is no longer obese, does not have high cholesterol, and is not putting themselves at risk for preventable cancers and other horrible diseases.
Often, we get stuck in today and we can’t figure out how we will get to be the person we are hoping to be. This thought can sabotage any efforts of learning or getting healthy. We think we need more will power, we are too addicted, we just don’t have what it takes. And then we spiral out of control.
If you are wanting to get healthy, I highly recommend living like the person you hope to be in a year from now. Ask yourself when you eat “Is this something that future me would eat?” when you work out ask yourself “Is this a work out future me would be proud of?”
Tomorrow I am launching a month long support group. It will be by invitation only, but I will take ANYONE who is serious about getting healthy and switching to a healthy plant based diet. There will be people there who have already made the switch and who are thriving, there will be people who have never had a salad. My hope is that you will want to join because you want to work on the person you would like to be in a year from now.
There will be information on the benefits of a plant based diet, meal plans, recipe and food ideas, challenges, workouts and tools to help you get healthy. There will also be community support and people going through the same thing as you.
It’s time to make that decision that you want to be a healthier person, that you are worth it, worth learning, worth changing, worth discovering, it’s time to put down all of the ways you sabotage yourself. Make the decision about the person you want to be a year from now. It takes a step – so make it. Ask yourself what is the worst that could happen? And what is the best that could happen?
If you are serious and would like to join send me an e-mail: veganhope.natala at gmail dot com
Tell me a little about you and why you would like to join.
Love it
Hi Natala!
Yet another great post!
I’ve made the switch ~ and am mostly “thriving”. However, (and especially in cold, snowy Ohio), I need all the support, tools, recipes, ideas, work out ideas, & camaraderie I can get.
I enthusiastically applaud what you’ve got going here and want to be a part of it!
Also, as a Holistic Life & Wellness Coach…this project is right up my alley
I would like to know more about your group. Where will you be meeting?
I am raw vegan, mostly raw. I am always looking for support groups and in this area its rare. Although this seems to be changing.
