Strategies to achieve a perfect Health

We all have good intention to have a great health. But, reality is always different and sometimes, health is just the polarity opposite of what exactly we intend to have. In some cases, we even suffer poor health. What is the reason to have such an opposite effect or not to have a desired perfect health condition? In many cases, when it comes to health, our behaviour is different than our intention. Behaviour and intention are not in alignment. For example, we may want to lose weight but our behaviour in dealing our daily life activities such as exercising, diet may not be in alignment with our intention. So, on long run, our resolution does not yield the desired result and hence, we fall back to the same original state where we originally kick started.

Conscious mind: Intention, goal setting and desire are the conscious decisions from the rational part of the mind controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain. This is such an easy part do it in the whole of setting and achieving the goals. This is what exactly we do when we set our goal such as New Year resolution. We human are innately programmed to set our life in an evolutionary path that seeks growth and hence setting a goal is always easy. The next step to have a perfect health is to have some sort of planning, strategies & processes. This second step is also under the complete control of the left hemisphere of the brain. So, our health goal setting, planning & strategies put together are all part of the conscious mind.

Subconscious mind: Our action based on the planning is also a decision controlled by our conscious mind. Now, we may have to take series of actions to achieve the desired perfect health. This is a phase where most of us fall apart. We don’t get the momentum to carry forward with the same intensity as we have had at the beginning. This is the phase where most of us fail and we fall back again to the same original state. Our old HABITS which are engrained deep within us become the root cause for such a failure. Our habits determine our present behaviour patterns. We are habitual animals and our habits are determined mainly by our own BELIEF system. These two components namely the HABIT and the BELIEF are controlled by our subconscious mind. We really need an enormous energy to change our belief and habit patterns.

Success of Health: We can only prosper very well to have a perfect health only when we keep our belief, habit, and our action plan & health goal all in perfect alignment to one another. If we work on the same old belief and habit then we may expect the same old result. We need to break this old habit patterns.

Two tactics: To break the old pattern, we need to have a good start point to achieve the goal and secondly the right momentum is required to take us in the right direction. A good start point can be achieved by means of affirmation and visualisation techniques. Our desired health goal needs to be affirmed and visualised very often to generate the essential happy emotion within us. All we need to do is to creatively visualise the feeling of having achieved the desired health & fitness?

Secondly, to gain the momentum, we need to develop a reward procedure where we intentionally look for a small positive result out of our action. In general, it is normal and natural that we tend to lose momentum as we move towards in achieving our health goal. Searching out for the small positive progress helps in building up the momentum. On long run, all those small positive results when compounded together yield the desired big positive result.
