The Vegan Journey Series: Making Radical Changes Easily

by

Salads at the Four Seasons
My, what a big bold claim! Easy and radical in one little phrase? There should be nothing easy about radical. A radical change should require extremely hard work and sweat and only those prepared for such a grueling path should even consider it. And going vegan is not only radical, it is anything but easy for those of you who eat a normal diet and have certain unbreakable bonds with your foods. Right?

Nope. Sorry. Wrong. Incorrect. Time to reconsider old answers and seek new truths. [Read more…] about The Vegan Journey Series: Making Radical Changes Easily

Winter in Paris

Living your whole life in cold or hot climates does NOT necessarily make you immune to those extreme temperatures!

Seriously, how many times have you heard:

Forming Habits and Ocean of Possibilities

As I commit to another fantastic month long health-forming challenge, I question one thing: How long does it really take to form long-term, sustainable, healthy new habits that seamlessly integrate into your life as though they have always been there? What type of commitment? Habits that once formed never part. Habits of a lifetime.

Forming life-long habits is not easy for me, not for lack of self-discipline or motivation. Rather, I fear for boredom and loss of creativity if committed too long to a particular habit so sometimes I flounder in my commitments. My fear is completely unfounded – I know – and has yet to materialize. Forming truly health-conscious, self-improvement habits clears the mind, strengthens the body, and wakes the spirit – in fact, they make room for creativity and new flows of energy. They bring new life into our lungs and a renewed sense of purpose into our hearts, lest we forget [Read more…] about Beyond the First 30 Days: Staying Committed to Habits
