#314: How To Stop Complicating Health


Listen Later

Health has been hard. I want to emphasize the has as a past-tense explanation. Because while it might have been difficult, it doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to live complicating health. It's only difficult because we've let it become that.

Perhaps not you personally, but the endless external ideas about what health means are overwhelming, even confusing, but only because we've neglected to understand health for what it is. And in the process, we've over-romanticized the outcome of health that we've neglected the process.

When you romanticize the outcome while hating the process, you create a fantasy of health rather than the reality of it.

I get it. The end goal is enticing. I don't think anyone can argue that we'd love to rock our skinny jeans and never have to worry about getting sick again. We'd love to arrive at that destination of health forever and always.

But health doesn't look or work like that. Honestly, I think that's more of a gift than we let ourselves believe. Health is a flow. It's growth and movement that is changing as we change. Because of that, it requires you to embrace the process.

The process of living health makes it personal and practical.

In this podcast, we talk about romanticizing the process of living healthy and the top five ways to stop complicating health so you can start living it.
