Ask yourself how you got where you want to be

Find a quiet space, and imagine a room where there are 2 chairs and invite yourself 5 years from now to join you and have a conversation, ask any questions that you are unsure of and observe the differences between yourself now and the projection
then dismiss your future self, switch chairs and chat with yourself 5 years ago

inspired a great number of internal shifts without any other effort, been encouraging to realize that I have all the knowhow to accomplish most anything I want, just a matter of applying myself – largely through (re)building habits

How about you? What habits would make a difference between where you are now and where you see yourself in 5 years?
While logically working on the biggest change the great fulcrum that will change everything is tempting it can easily become a distraction to prevent you from getting started on making changes. If you don’t have a clear answer then pick 1 thing and get started, after a few days (5 seems to be the critical number) momentum will start to carry you forward.

– Thank you Steve Pavlina for the inspiration of the technique

PS. Yes this is grammatically terrible, this is a 1st draft which is a habit I will continue for several posts at least as I develop the habit of writing to this blog more often.

1 piece of advice for diabetes

Filed Under (Nutrition) by Alvin Mites on 12-12-2010

Diabetes: not fun, used to have hypoglycemic crashes somewhat regularly before learning to manage

watch your fat vs carb intake, higher blood fat levels cause sugar/carbs to stay in your blood stream creating the conditions for a crash – biggest thing I’ve learned is scheduling, when eating a fatty meal try to stay light for a few hours sticking with water and low glycemic index foods (apples are a particular favorite)

can share more if interested, learned how to cure diabetes when I went raw and haven’t had an issue since
