What's Next, After Savor
Introduction: Process, Not A ProgramMost of the time, when people think of "eating plans", they think of a program that defines what to eat, portion size, when to eat, and other requirements of the program. By definition, a program has requirements and parameters that are set by some expert. Those who follow a program are supposed to learn the rules of the program and incorporate those rules into daily life. On any given day, you are either "on the program", or "off the program". You are either doing what the expert has told you to do, or you are not. When following a program, you always have a measuring stick available to tell how you are doing. The problem is, this measuring stick is usually used to criticize yourself and damage your self-esteem. How can you make use of all the wonderful information available on healthy living and not feel like you are participating in another "program". Change the WAY you look at the experts. When you participate in a self-help group, take a fitness class, talk to a therapist, read a book on eating / nutrition, watch a talk show, hear a news story, or see an infomercial, remember one fact: They may be experts in their fields, but there is only one real expert in the room on the subject of you. That expert is YOU! Teachers, instructors, counselors are consultants that you hire in order to get ideas and information. Books, talk shows, and seminars are places you look for information. You are in charge of trying out the new things that you have learned and deciding if they work for you. Every exercise, whether it is physical, emotional, or intellectual, is just an opportunity to experiment and see what effect it has on you. Tune in to yourself. How does it feel? Does it seem useful? Does it cause a problem? You decide. You are the expert on you. Nobody else in the entire world knows what it is like to live in your body or to be in your world. It is important to have good advisors and consultants. But in the end, you need to make choices for yourself. I do not offer a 'program' for healthy eating and fun fitness. Instead, I offer a set of choices, tools, exercises, and insights. I propose or recommend new ways of looking at things and different actions to take. Each person will try these options in a different order and for a different length of time. Each person will select what works for them and what does not. No two people will choose the same path. This is your process for individual change. Your process will be unique. You have a very qualified expert to help you make the best choices · that expert is you. Keep an open mind for what you may choose to focus on each week. It is valuable to write down your goals. Not because you have made a vow to achieve any specific goal, but because you will not always do as you had intended. THIS IS NOT FAILURE. When you do not achieve a planned goal, you have an opportunity to better understand who you are and what you need. I encourage you to select some action to take that will effect your feelings, your fitness, and your healthy eating. Please only choose one small doable action or focus in each area. (If you try to do too many things, you will drop the ball.) When you write down your intentions, you will have the benefit of hindsight at the end of the week. Did you do as you intended? What helped? What got in the way? How can you set yourself up to achieve your goals next week? You are in the middle of succeeding at your healthy lifestyle choices. Keep the process going! |
