Nesting is often thought of with expectant moms - preparing the house for baby to arrive. Why do we do it. No question the maternal instinct is a force here, but environmentally we do it to create a safe, nurturing environment for our new baby.
Another one of those lessons - everything I needed to know I learned from my dog... Dogs dont nest just for impending puppies, have you noticed Fido will always build a den to go to when he or she feels frightened or stressed?
How bout lets nest for our health. Lets review one of my favorite concepts called creating our personal identity. Our personal identity requires thought to discover who we are and who we want to be. Kind of like our personal "Wheres Waldo" game. A strong personal identity holds one of the most powerful influences over our behavior - honing it from reckless "heat of the moment" decisions to where am I going and producing a map to get there.
Nesting is a great tool for reinforcing our personal identity & creating our happy place. Is our personal identity really junk food, alcohol, cigarette butts, a sofa molded to our derriere - it could be what is there, what we are indulging in, our current behavior - but is that what we want it to be? Lets get our head out of those nasties and a heads up pointing to the direction we want to go - our new health centric lifestyle.
First step is always decluttering. Get rid of all the garbage, messiness, disorganization that will guaranteed keep bringing you back to that person you are trying to evolve. Get rid of any triggers & cues that remind you of behaviors you are trying to eliminate. Go Forward!
Pack your fridge, kitchen, living room, bedroom, den, office with items that help you think healthy & encourage physical activity.
Kitchen: healthy recipes, health snack counter, supplements & nutraceuticals,
Fridge: lean proteins, eggs, fruits & vegetables...
Living Room: healthy reading: fitness magazines, books on health,
Bedroom: ability to darken for sleep, items you identify with relaxation, yoga mat!
den: exercise equipment like resistance bands you can do watching TV,
You get the idea.
Clear the air - create great air for deep breathing. Get the ducts & carpets cleaned. Add color. Maybe change television choices to those that will encourage healthful eating & exercise. There are thousands of possibilities here - lets discover what it takes to create your personal health centric happy place.
Fat loss is not just about following a diet. The vast majority of people quit diets and get frustrated, and back to poor eating habits. Its not about torture & deprivation. A healthy body is a mindset. Its about loving what you do, finding your raison detre and creating an environment conducive to creating that person you want to be. Same goes for changing any detrimental health habit such as alcohol, smoking, high stress - This nest is the best in health for me.
