Would you be starting on you plans to picket my house and drive me off the net & out of town or would you be the one knocking on my door right now…just kidding.

OR

Are you sitting there thinking ok, keep writing, I’m not convinced, I am however willing to entertain the conversation.

If you’re in the first category then continue reading, or not…it’s up to you! This is my view, its challenge and it’s not right for everyone right now. If you’re in the second category, consider the following statements;

Without your health you impair/lose your body, without your body – you die! Simple.

You are what you eat!

You choose what your reaction is in every single situation! (Even those one’s that have you convinced you are not at fault but the world is definitely going down for this one!)

  The first statement is hard to argue with and its pretty freaking obvious, well at least I think so! The second one is also pretty obvious – if you fill you unleaded petrol car with cod-liver oil is it going to work like a V8 Supercar? Probably not! Likewise if you are eating fake, pretend, 10 x removed, plastic, microwaved food that is available on mass and tastes the same everywhere on the planet – what do you HONESTLY think is going on inside?

Bush mechanic’s use a certain popular brown/black soft drink to clean a dirty car engine because it’s cheap and effective. You can clean a dirty coin in it AND you can totally dissolve a human tooth in it?

Now I am going to bet that you’re not about to take your Rum with Draino so what makes this popular nutritionally corrupt (and it’s not the only one) drink an exception to that rule.

Is it the chemically enhanced flavouring that tricks your brain into believing its delish or is it the fact that its destruction of your inside is a lot subtler and slower than the old Draino?

If you think about all this then answer for me this one question – answer it aloud, tell a friend, whatever!

“Why are you letting these nutritionally devoid products pass your lips at all, let alone as regularly as our society seems to consume them?”

Obesity, diabetes, depression, poor skin health, addiction, organ failure/toxicity & cancer – all these conditions are affected by the quality or lack-there-off of your diet? The same for the amount of exercise you do and the way you honour yourself and your mental health.

My food addictions are many but the kickers are coffee, chocolate and salty over processed rubbish. I have grown up with it and believe me I know how hard it can be to kick this stuff if you don’t have a good why…but more about that another time.

Sure it’s fine to ‘blame’ your upbringing, your parents/guardians, your experience, your trauma’s, the media, the community you live in or the people you idolise. That’s actually going to do you no favours…you’re handing your power to change to another person who may not realise it and/or doesn’t care (worst case they might keep trying to hurt you for their benefit), second – You. Are. Responsible. You choose how to budget your time, you choose who and what you listen to, what you purchase and what passes your lips – no body is there at your dinner table forcing this crap down your throat and pinching your nose till you swallow it! Nobody!

You CHOOSE it!

You PURCHASE it!

You EAT it!

See how you are the only person in this process…that’s because NO-ONE else is involved, at every stop you have a choice – to listen, or not! to buy, or not! to eat, or not! You CHOOSE busy-ness, you CHOOSE to watch TV/Ads/promotions, you CHOOSE to attend the establishments, you CHOOSE to order and you CHOOSE to eat!

That’s it…simple – it’s your commitment to the action, that’s the complex bit – figure that out the rest is a matter of process guided by the light of your commitment to yourself.

Bringing it back to responsibility as I sum up – if at every point it is your choice then it goes without saying that the results you create with you choice – are you responsibility. Owning your responsibility requires humility, openness, open-mindedness, gratitude and strength.

It’s a choice.

It’s a journey.

It’s worth it.

Give it a try and see what happens you might just enjoy the freedom.
