As ambitious as our goals and dreams are (natural and healthy weight loss, for example), it is necessary to carry them out in our daily lives. When our lives are busy and hectic, we can get ahead of our thoughts and try to rush, we try to live our future in our present. Children are very good at bringing us back to reality, because they are usually happily focused on the present.
You may be racing your thoughts with anxious planning and organizing, but your four-year-old is right there, right now. When our children notice our distraction, they often say, “Mom! Mom!” until they catch our attention and bring us back. If your lives are healthy and balanced, you will be able to get rid of unnecessary distractions and be renewed and refreshed by the energy of our children.
For example, let’s say you’ve agreed to a fast, healthy, natural weight loss program. You feel motivated and determined to follow a healthy eating program that will help you lose weight without starving yourself. And now, you are following him for a few days and suddenly your husband (it can be your boyfriend, friend or colleague) comes home with a lot of cookies and chocolates. Can you resist the temptation of your favorite chocolate? How about the smell of hunger and crispy cookies? Can you say no?
By the way, my husband likes to bring home a bunch of chocolates and cookies after his project. You are usually assigned abroad and return home regularly after the project, which usually lasts one (1) month, but sometimes less or more. I share this story because many times I am tempted to walk away and get distracted from my goal of staying in shape.
Losing weight is not as difficult as people think. Just by considering a little bit of food control, one can lead to natural weight loss. There can be a big, life-changing impact on your weight with different foods and lifestyles. But only when you have the courage to say no and religiously follow what you have proposed and be like a child, focused, honest and truthful. Then it will become a natural habit that you no longer have to think about.
