Deeper health is about building the foundations to achieve long term sustainable results.
The 6 foundations of deep health are
Emotional
Mental
Physical
Environmental
Existential
Social
Each element requires your time and attention. If you neglect one it will impact the others. If you prioritise one over the others it will have a detrimental effect.
The problem with New Year’s resolutions or ‘New year New me’ mindset is it’s generally based on short term restriction and not about implementing long term change.
People look at January as a time to make up for Decembers indulgence. They stop drinking alcohol, cut out carbs, stop eating meat, juicing diets, intermittent fasting, excessive workouts. None of these are long term solutions and most people don’t manage two weeks before they cave in before binging on the things they have restricted and then the guilt kicks in and the feeling of failure, worthlessness etc.
Now if you are serious about making the changes you are going to realise that it’s not going to happen over night and you are buying into a long term programme of self development. It will take time, effort, planning determination, dedication and a lot of patience. There will be good and bad days but by working regularly on the 6 pillars you will build the resilience to overcome the obstacles that will come your way.
You need to find your long term goal and then break that down into smaller bit size challenges that keep you moving forward. It’s better to have lots of little wins along the way rather than one big win at the end.
