Sometimes we aren’t ready to move past our hurts. That’s something we should all take into consideration, especially when we don’t have the results we want in our health. 🧐💛
.
Whether we are aware or not we all carry hurts and insecurities that impact our behavior and they affect the results we get. Our habits often facilitate our avoidance of these types of hurts.
.
Much of the time the people that love us enable our behavior by never being honest with us. Maybe they aren’t able to see our faults as something that keeps us from our goals. That’s wonderful that they love us so much, but when we don’t get the results we want it can be frustrating to not understand why. 😢
.
We can work on our health challenges by working on issues on the surface level. There are solutions that bring results for some people, but often they are temporary. Procedures like lap band, gastric bypass, fad diets and regiments that require handfuls of vitamins or liquid diets can and are used to jumpstart paths to health through weight loss.
.
But if we really want to have lasting healthy lifestyle results we have to get down to the nitty gritty at some point. There’s just no way around it. Considering that our hurts could be at the root of our health issues may be what we need to turn it around.
.
Unfortunately our healthcare system is not generally that helpful in this department. That may or may not be due to the lack of monetary gain with protocols that don’t involve medication or procedures.
.
Even though our providers often care for us the pharmaceutical companies that fund education, studies and systems have a goal and that’s to make money and grow their business. Like any business they need to keep growing and make profits. They do that by selling products.
.
We go to practitioners for help, but most don’t ask the important questions. What would it be like if healthcare providers asked, Why are you overeating? Or why aren’t you exercising? They don’t ask us, why are you so hard on yourself?
.
In their defense the whole western medical model is not set up for long term success. Ten minute appointments and lack of training in preventative health care are just two of the reasons why.
.
It’s probably not there job to work us through those issues, but recognizing underlying causes of the issues would save a lot of heartache. Going somewhere that is equipped to help us through those issues from the start would save a lot of time and frustration.
.
Some people spend years trying every single diet you can imagine and still do not have the results they want. Imagine if we started with asking the right questions? Why are we doing things that keep us from our health goals? What are we trying to feel that we aren’t getting from life? Could I get this or a better feeling by doing something that doesn’t negatively affect my health?
.
Our health is a journey, we will never master it. There are different stages and different needs for every stage.
.
There is however always another level to reach. New levels of understanding, practice and acceptance that can bring us better results and more happiness with who we are. But first we have to be willing to face the hurts we carry.
