I believe a good way to self reflect is to write it down using columns. Likes and Dislikes.

Clearly you can see what is slowing down your progress in improving your health.

Example: Under Likes: Bread, Cookies, Beer, etc.

Example: Under Dislikes: Exercise, etc.

I think that makes perfect sense. We should be looking for the cause of ill-health rather than putting a bandaid on it.

There’s no quick fix for anything in life. If you want the results that you’re looking for then you have to put in the work. Period. Which brings me to a saying that I just learned the other day. This might look good on your wall Dr. H. “If you think you can you can. If you think you can’t, you’re right. “

Reflection is a great tool. Having the "appropriate" tool allows us the ability to attain goals. It's true we need to look into the "mirror". It's kind of like checking yourself in before you leave the house. Appropriate mirror - bathroom catches your face, your smile and wonderful head/ hair (hahaha sorry Dr Steve ) to look 👀 at the whole person - the long mirror. We don't stay there long and off we go.

In order for reflection to get it most benefit we can add intention. Reflection - summary with aloha to be the best we can be in the moment.

I agree. But then sometimes there can be “some people” who do too much self-reflection. I don’t personally know any, but I’ve heard of them. 🤣

And this video was really good and totally hit the nail on the head. Ha!

Yes! But I have had physicians who immediately offer scripts for conditions that would be better/easier managed with diet/exercise/lifestyle changes. Statins being a major issue. I’m talking to her about diet/exercise while she’s already writing a script...which I vehemently refuse. Allopathic medicine is been totally controlled by corporations and pharma.
