Kindness would be great to adopt in healthy living, especially because your thoughts can be so destructive. In reality, we belittle ourselves with one brief mention, which is imprinted in our minds forever.

It’s no wonder change is hard.

But just because it’s hard does not make it impossible. What must happen is your thoughts need to become words that echo loudly in your head and re-imprint what matters NOW!

Create your now!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now!

Speak the kind words loudly, repeating them often, blanketing your mind in that kindness, even when the harsh truth is shared.

Kindness softens the sharp corners and opens the heart to accept the idea of the changes that need to be made. Once the heart and head connect, you’re ready to press forward with more pizazz.

That’s where you get the giddy-up and go!

1. Know the Language You’re Using

It’s challenging when you want to make changes, but you don’t know what you’re changing. Think of it as painting your room. If you want a new paint color on the wall, you must know how you want to feel and what you want to experience in the space. Then, you can choose the color and make the change.

Changing the color is like changing your words and what you tell yourself over and over again. Take the words you use and restructure your vocabulary so you hear words of kindness with sprinkles of unconditional love in a manner that adds hope to your change and does not deplete you.

Most of the time, our minds are repeating what we’ve heard told directly to us and what we continue to agree with those words shared with us. Stop the madness and change your language.

2. Eliminate the Words that Fatten Your Failures

Why keep playing old records that make a bigger deal of your failures than your successes? If you are living, you are going to fail. In fact, you’ll fail more than you succeed. So get a little skinny, not on your failures, but on your successes. Inflate in your mind that you CAN make changes by making choices that serve your challenges more by deciding to make the change.

3. Take A.I.M. on the One Thing

Trying to do too much will only slow you down. If you put too much food into your mouth, you will have difficulty chewing and swallowing, causing you to choke. That’s what we do when we’re biting off more than we can chew.

Focus on the ONE thing that needs immediate attention and give it the attention it deserves. No one wants to be chewed out on everything they do wrong at one time. So take it bit by bit, or should we say, bite by bite, and do what matters for this week. Once you have secured the action and it keeps you motivated to keep trackin’, then you can move on to the next ONE thing.

Healthy living is not always about the food you put in your mouth or how much your exercise. A lot of what needs to happen is what’s happening in your head, and how it connects to your heart. You are not fat, and now your thoughts will not be either.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
