Day 24
Looking for Motivation?
- Give thanks
- Do 10 deep breaths
- Drink 16 ounces of water upon awakening
- Dry brush your body
- Move your body
- Drink 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day
Your Breakfast - Fruit until noonish, 2-3 pieces, scattered over the morning, add protein if needed and avoid bananas if your weight is not moving.
Your Lunch: raw foods and a Starch dish OR Protein dish of your choice. You can make a dressing with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, OR coconut oil, OR essential fatty acids for your salad.
Snack - Keep it raw and light. If you eat nuts, you MUST measure the amount because it is easy to overeat them. No more than 1/4 cup of nuts for a snack and chew them well.
Your Dinner: raw foods and a Starch dish OR Protein dish of your choice. You can make a dressing with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, OR coconut oil, OR essential fatty acids for your salad.
When we first start Living Well, we are propelled by enthusiasm and excitement and feel like we can reach any goal we want. We are MO TI VA TED!
Then time passes.
And we say yes to some foods that are not so healthy for us.
It might happen more than once and then we feel as though we are slipping, reaching for a rope to pull us back to where we were days before.
When in this low-motivation place, forget MOTIVATION or depending on it to bring you back.
The simple answer is to just LIVE WELL whether you feel like it or not. Just do it! I don't mean to steal Nike's famous line here, but that is what needs to be done.
Don't listen to that side of you that tries to convince you that you need MOTIVATION to continue to Live Well. Take it one meal at a time and get right back on the plan.
There are days when you will be motivated and other days may seem like you will never get there. This is all part of the process.
Ignore the old negative thoughts that run through your head and say ENOUGH! I am Living Well right now, whether I am motivated or not. I am just doing it!
You have to argue with your mind sometimes. As long as no one hears you, you will be fine.
