“Little foxes spoil the vine.” “Despise not small beginnings.”
There we have it. The science of behavioral change condensed
to two verses.
The Sacred and Fit program makes big
promises. We promise that there will be changes on all levels, physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual. Your ideal weight will be achieved. You will
regain an appreciation for yourself and for your unique gifts and callings.
Your relationship with God will grow deeper and more profound. You will learn
more about the science of nutrition and physiology and be able to apply your
learning to your own body and lifestyle. However, all of these are
promised only IF you do the
program.
Sacred and Fit is not about providing you with more
information. You already KNOW how live a healthy life style. Ultimately, Sacred
and Fit is about changing the way you ACT. A change in behavior
requires changes in the way you THINK. To be mindful of your health means that
you are conscious and aware of what you are eating. You sense in your body the
need for exertion and movement. You recognize the effects of stress in your
body and mind. You value your peace and act to maintain it. Your lifestyle is a
reflection of the honor and respect you have for yourself. Simply, you are awake to your own life.
It may not seem
that the your ideal weight and health regimen will ever be achieved. You may
not believe at this moment that you are capable of eating a diet consisting of 50%
or more of fresh fruit and vegetables.
You may not see yourself enjoying movement and exertion. You may not know how
to manage/eliminate stress. However, these
things are accomplished one act at a time and one thought at a time. You do have power over the thoughts you choose
to think…..and to choose not to think is also a thought.
Examples of little foxes:
“forgetting” to
eat or to pack a nutritious lunch
grocery shopping without a list
entering a grocery store without a plan
oversleeping because you watched TV until 2a.m.
watching more than 4 hours of TV per day.
Stressed out due to looking for a lost item
Not having a place to put things so items can get lost
You get the gist….
Small beginnings: Doing the Homework!
Creating your notebook with five dividers and creating a
place for it (along with a pen)
near your bed.
Writing a letter to yourself indicating whether you are
ready to commit to the Sacred and Fit program at this time.
Include in the letter a forgiveness statement to yourself -for
anything in your past that needs forgiving.
Despise not small beginnings.
