it’s too late to get your shit together if it’s already in the fan

Strictly speaking from a health and disease standpoint, it’s generally too late to get your shit together once it’s hit the fan. The sad part is that the disease process doesn’t come without warning, nor does it happen overnight. You basically have to ignore all the warning signs that you’re approaching the edge of a cliff. And as you go over the edge, your prescriptions allow you to think you’re flying, until you’re not. 

Working with clients, and personally overcoming hardships, I figured out firsthand that no one is going to be able to save us from ourselves. We have to want to change before we can expect it to happen. The first step is bringing awareness to the effect our mindset and lifestyle is having on our health and longevity. Only then can we expect change to happen. 

Think about the following questions. If you’re not able to answer them with positivity, you may be heading toward a cliff.

Are you having issues managing your food addictions? Confused about what you should be eating? Or unhappy with what the mirror is telling you?

Are you under-exercising, or perhaps worse, over-exercising?

Are you not getting enough sleep, but haven’t been able to mange yourself to get the sleep you need and know it’s costing you?

Are you doing what you love to do everyday and can truly say you’re happy right now?

Are you living the life you’d live if money weren’t an objective?
