Yes, we must create a new normal or even better go back to the "old normal" where we avoided many illnesses of today simply by eating health safe food and much more physical movement. Because this is not normal today, we have to build a regiment that keeps our bodies well nourished and physically fit. But because this isn't normal, we sometimes find ourselves in the company of friends and associates that influence us (not necessarily with ill intent) to get off of our regiment onto that slippery slope that leads to loss of nourishment and fitness. When we find ourselves in this position, we must at the very next opportunity press that "reset button" that puts us right back on our regiment.
Here are some tips for resetting after you have "slipped":
- Visualize your goals regarding how you want to look and feel.
- Take the very next opportunity to exercise and element of your regiment. If you fuel your body every 3 hours, then within 3 hours you have an opportunity to get back to your healthy eating plan.
- If you exercise at a prescheduled time, let nothing stop you from making that workout schedule. Your associates will respect you if you have to excuse yourself.
- Create distance between you and anything that you are exposed to at the moment that is not in line with your regiment. IE., food, drink...
- Explain to your associates how important it is for you to "reset". You may in turn be an influence to them.
- Pray for strength.
