Sunny days
Healing journeys usually start with a moment of clarity. This moment could come from someone telling us we need to change, or we wake up one day and realize that years have gone by and our decisions might not have been the best for our health.
My journey to better health started with the realization that my choices put me at risk for health troubles if changes were not made.
This moment is the split in the road.
One path leads to better health, the other will keep us enjoying the same lifestyle that forced the split in the road.
Thankfully, my willpower for better health was stronger than the comfort of staying the same, yet I know this decision is not an easy choice to make.
All too often, the split in the road is a darker time in our life and forces us to acknowledge the areas of our life that are causing our health concerns. If we choose to make changes for better health, each day can feel like a battle. This battle of willpower can feel slow and lasting change takes time.
There was one thought that helped me each day of my battel for better health; years of bad decisions would never be corrected in one night.
If this journal entry sounds familiar, I want you to know those dark days when you feel like nothing is changing, it is important to stay strong and before you know it you will reach the sunny days.
ONE Love john
