What Motivates us to Want to be Healthy

By Christian Goodman

I've been wanting to writing this article for some time but I just keep losing interest. OK, I'm joking. But how many of you want to complete something big or small and just dont seem to be able to get started?

I am a naturally high-energy person who, once an idea hits me, has trouble letting go of the idea until some sort of creation comes to fruition. Whether that be researching and writing an article, creating a new health program or taking a vacation.

I realize that I am on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to motivation. Many of my friends, family and clients, however, often experience a lack of motivation when it comes to achieving a dream no matter how big or small.

How many of you have wanted to finish that novel thats been popping into your head for years? How many of you want to train for and finish a marathon? How many of you simply want to clean your house?

Have you ever sat down and tried to list the understand why your ambition is so inadequate? Lets face it. Procrastination is easy and doesn't need help in the justification department.

Lots of times, we don't do something beneficial just because it's the right thing to do. We wait until we fear a negative influence of not doing the right thing. Lets take something seemingly as easy as cleaning the house.

Isn't it interesting how ones house suddenly gets dirty when we find out were having company? Or, even if we realize the house is in need of cleaning, motivation doesn't strike until we learn of impending guests. Then, incenitive comes on in a fury!

This can be applied to a healthy lifestyle. There are some of us who eat well, exercise regularly, get the proper amount of sleep and don't drink to excess or do drugs, simply because we want to be healthy.

For a lot of us, just like finishing that novel or taking out the trash, inspiration to improve our health only comes when it becomes essential.

For example, it's frequently not until one is diagnosed with high blood pressure and prescribed medication with bad side effects that one takes the ambition to exercise and eat better.

This can also be said of lifestyle induced health issues like type II diabetes, obesity, smoking related health issues and alcohol and drug linked issues.

No matter how much we hear over the years that we are affecting our health by our bad choices, it's not until we have been diagnosed with a real problem that we seek to make our lives better.

The best course of action is to make a plan for change, set a date and TELL someone. Having someone take an interest and ask you about your progress is highly motivating to continue on the path to good health.

I also encourage you to try one of my all natural programs such as my High Blood Pressure program or my Weight Loss Breeze program. The results are amazing! Make a plan and order today!
