There is this prevailing thought today that health is very complicated. You have to do some crazy things, weigh food, count macros, eat mostly plants, less meat and animal fat, starve, that it has to be extremely difficult, you must suffer, otherwise you aren’t getting “healthy”. I don’t believe any of this. Rediscovering your health does not need to be difficult, a suffering fest that you are miserable and can’t ever enjoy anything. I am not saying that it will be a walk in the park and easy with no sacrifices, struggles, frustrations, because that is not true. Changing your lifestyle involves creating new habits, confronting your own demons, working through things, having the courage to take new steps and take that step over and over until it is a part of who you are.
These 5
steps are simple. Simple does not mean easy, they are not interchangeable. The
answers to life’s toughest questions are usually the simplest. Because they are
simple, we reject them because simple makes them approachable, doable, we can
implement them into our lives. When things are difficult, we can blame our lack
of achievement on the fact it is difficult. On the flip side, we view
simplicity as too easy, the answer cannot be that simple. If it is that simple,
it won’t work. Simplicity scares us.
