Travel has been a hot topic this year. It may have been a while since you have flown, but have you ever noticed the wings of a plane? If you ever sat in a window seat and had a view of the wing, you may have noticed a slight curvature at the end of the wing. Some airlines made a slight alteration to their Boeing 737-700 planes by adding the APB Blended Winglet to the wing. This minor little change saved the company almost 100,000 gallons of fuel annually. If one little change can make that massive of an impact on the amazing flying machine, imagine what one little change can do for you?
Transforming your health, like the Winglet, begins with one small change. For years I would try to go cold turkey with sugar, try a fad diet, or work out relentlessly. Each time, it would end the same way: I would binge the second I caught a whiff of a baked good or drove past an ice cream shop. It wasn’t until I committed to ONE action that I began to make progress. I stuck with one simple step and let go of the other things I knew I “should” be doing. Once I was consistent with one step, I was able to add another and then another. I eventually evolved into a healthy person. Its not perfect and it never will be. Yet I have gotten to the point where I can feel the extreme difference of having a whole food, plant based diet versus a processed, high sugar diet. My brain fog is gone. My energy is high and consistent throughout the day. My skin is clear. I feel amazing! And it all started with one act.
What is one step you would be willing to commit to? Would you increase your daily water intake? Could you add more vegetables to each meal? Are you willing to not supersize your meals? It takes 28 days for a habit to form. Could you commit to this one action for a month? Some times the answer is so simple but to put it into action can be intimidating, especially if your metabolism is shot and feel stuck in the familiar pattern.
