Once again, I have to agree. Not only because of the scientific education I have received, but because of what I see each week in my life, as well as in the lives of my patients!
I want to talk to you about a mindset that is killing
We are driven by thoughts of lack, fear, insecurity and greed…just to name a few. If we are always thinking about what we don't have, instead of what we do… this is LACK. And it is far from the abundance-thinking that I believe leads to Optimal Health and an Optimal Life! Thoughts of lack lead to sickness and suffering…period!
So many people think that they cannot lose weight, so they eat MORE. So many people think less of themselves, so they hunger and thirst for MORE! So many Americans think they are sick, so they take MORE drugs! (Symptoms don't necessarily equate to sickness, no more than the lack of symptoms equates to health…more on this to come…) If drugs created health, than why are Americans sicker than they have ever been, yet we as a nation consume more drugs than ever before!?
If only we could trust the wisdom within our bodies and realize that it works based on Universal Principles, not unlike gravity! Let me explain. No matter who you are, if you jump out of a window of a 10-story building, you are going to fall. No matter who you are, every time you put something in your mouth it has an effect (or a side-effect), whether you like it or not. If you put life-giving food in, you get more life…more health! If you put garbage in your body, you are going to feel like garbage…and eventually your health is going to stink…and you will eventually fall! But it doesn't have to be that way!
But…(I love that little word)…if (I love that little word even more), you apply the principles that I shared with you last time of Above, Down, Inside and Out, you will an abundant life! The human body is extremely abundant! Every day your body is marvelously producing new cells. Did you know that the skin that you are wearing right now is not the same skin you were wearing last week? You are regenerating every day! Isn't that amazing? As long as you are regenerating faster than you are degenerating, you will be healthy. It is time for all of us to focus on what our bodies are building and what we can do to join the building team, not the demolition one. As far as I see it, if we are not part of the solution, than we are part of the problem!!
Another Universal Principle that makes all the difference is this simple equation:
Calories Out > Calories In = Thin. O.K., maybe this isn't quite a Universal Principle…I just made it up. So let's just call it a "Dr. Shannon Principle". People come to me all the time saying that they can't lose weight. You may have said this yourself. Well I have great news for you…YES, YOU CAN!
All we need to do is find out what's interfering with your body working the way it was designed to work and YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT! Sometimes the interference is quite simply, your mindset and you thinking and saying that you "can't lose weight"! To this I will say, YES YOU CAN! I have yet to work with anyone with our "health4life program" who didn't lose weight!
A lot of times, the only weight you need to lose is…your WAIT! Now is the time…today is your day! Wait no longer…what you do today will affect your "who" and what you do (or can't do) tomorrow!
