Intellectual Basics – I have to figure out what inspires/motivates me. Everyone comes through my door initially because something pushed them over the edge into wanting to seek help, wanting to address this area of their life. I know for myself that, no matter how desperate my feelings are at that time, no matter how committed I truly think I am ready to be in my heart…it still eventually wears off. Given enough of the wrong stimulus, I will still manage to forget how much I cared.
I seem to need to continue to do things to inspire myself. Living a healthy lifestyle is not my natural default. It may sound silly coming from someone in the nutrition field, but I didn’t end up here through good behavior. I still need to keep keeping the consequences (both good and bad) right under my nose.
