Achieving Health Peace
We have all let our health stray in some capacity at some point in our life. We wake up one day, we look in the mirror and think to ourselves, “Wow, how did I get here.” These moments are profound because they often instill some kind of motivation to get back on track with our health.
You decide that it’s time to stop eating biscuits for breakfast and start adding some healthy foods into your diet because you know that it makes you feel better and helps you lose that stubborn belly fat. You decide to take your friend up on the offer to go for a run or go to the gym because you know that afterward, you get a feeling of accomplishment that powers the rest of your day. You decide that instead of scrolling through your phone for two hours before bed to read and journal because you know that will help you get better sleep and give you more energy to stay on track with your health goals the next day.
These are all the negotiations we make when we realize we need to do something about our health. But we want to maintain these health changes long-term right? To do so, we need to achieve peace with our health.
Jordan Peterson says, “To make peace is to manage a negotiated solution.” We have already negotiated what we need to do to be healthy so to come to peace with it, we need to manage these solutions. We need to throw out the junk food we know we will fall tempted to and replace it with the healthy foods we know our bodies need. We need to schedule time in our day-to-day to make that fitness class or complete that at-home workout. We have to tell the people closest to us that our health is important to us so that they may be supportive. We must be intentional about making sure we put ourselves in a position to do what we are supposed to do every day to be the healthiest versions of ourselves if that is what we desire. We must achieve peace with our health if we want to adopt any lasting health changes.
