So, It’s Up To You.

The Goldilocks fable involves a little girl who trespasses in the home of a family of three bears.

Once inside, she:

• Sampled their meal exclaiming “… too hot, too cold, just right!”, so she ate that bowl of porridge.
• Sampled their chairs exclaiming “… too big, too small, just right!”, so she sat in that chair.
• Sampled their beds exclaiming “… too hard, too soft, just right!”, so she fell asleep in that bed.

Of course, the fable goes on for the purpose of establishing a moral, through story, for children to carry into adulthood.  Stick with me, there is a point to be made here about your health.

Too Much, Too Little, Just Right

The world we live in encourages immoderate choices in:

• Work, Family, Self
• Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle
• Health, Declining Health, Failing Health

And, there is a tendency to separate these choices, when, in fact they are interconnected.

The 3^rd example, health, declining health and failing health  illustrates the connectivity.

But first, some definitions are in order.

There are 3 states of health:

• Health is, for most people, is a state of ignorant bliss; punctuated with the delusion that the state of “being healthy” is a forever thing.
• Declining health is a state of inconvenience; punctuated with the delusion that a remedy, drug store or a prescription, can make the inconvenience go away.
• Failing health is a state disbelief; punctuated with the delusion that some medical, non-medical or spiritual intervention can make the misery and suffering go away.

The interconnectivity between health and work, family and self is obvious.

A person, who finds themself on this predictable path of declining health, will experience big changes at work, in their family life and a decline in their physical and emotional well-being.

And, when the hand writing starts to show up on the wall – their state of health is in full-blown decline – people are bombarded with advertisements that support the false belief that technology will erase thier story that is unfolding.

The culprit, in this bleak scenario, is the state of ignorant bliss that accompanies health. 

People falsely believe that:

•  Health is permanent
• It happens automatically
• A fix is one phone call away

In a perfect world people wouldn’t face this dilemma because:

• The air and water would be pristine
• The nutritional thresholds, necessary to sustain a health body, would be met from the food that is consumed
• Personal and interpersonal interactions would be void of conflict
• Mary Poppins would make your decisions for you

Oh well – the world isn’t perfect.

1. The air and water could be better
2. Commercial food products aren’t what they’re trumped up to be
3. People are buggers
4. Mary Poppins isn’t on-call to make your boo-boos go away

So, It’s Up To You.

You only need to know three rules:

1. Let your conscience be your guide
2. What you do occasionally won’t hurt you – it’s what you do every day that helps you
3. What you don’t know can hurt you

Ignorance is not bliss, nor is it an excuse,
because you will experience the consequences of your choices.

On matters of diet:

1. Eat as close to a balanced diet as possible, then fill the gap with fundamental nutritional supplements (If you are experiencing any lingering health concerns, there are supplements for specific needs to help address them, too.)
   1. Eat lots of differently colored above ground veggies and 2 hard fruits – every day.
   2. Avoid “the white stuff”:  white flour, sugar, starchy vegetables, salt and tropical fruit.
2. Drink Water:  your body weight divided by 2 in ounces – every day.

For more information on diet, consult:  The University of Michigan, Interactive Medicine website.

On matters of supplements:

Your body maintains and heals itself using the “stuff” it gets from the food you eat and the water your drink. Supplements fill gaps in your diet, so use them as such.

1. Avoid the “hype” in the media and advertising
2. Be sure of your sources of information and products
3. Buy the highest quality possible because, in most cases, price is an indication of what you are getting

There are fundamental nutritional supplements to help fill general gaps and nutritional supplements for specific needs that may be helpful for the process of healing.

For more information on choosing a supplement plan, consult ,the NUPRO 3 step plan or purchase the book, Creating Radiant Health – the key to releasing the healing power within.

Too Much, Too Little, Just Right

The Goldilocks rule, … too little, too much, just right, sure beats the false hope that someone or something will be there to fix what you have broken – because everyone knows there aren’t any magic bullets – don’t they?

It’s Your Life – It’s Your Choice
