‘Unhealthy’ phases: Acceptance and Adaptation

Life can be a rollercoaster, and staying 100% on track with our health and fitness isn’t always possible.

The focus should always be on what you are doing most of the time. Recognising when you are going through certain phases is important to the long-term maintenance of health.

Too often I engage with people who are overly negative and critical about their perceived ‘failings’ when they are a natural fluctuation in behaviour.

A strong mid-point of health bolstered by diet, movement, and other factors is always the goal. I have learned to enjoy the phases of imperfection, as it enables me to return to my mid point faster with less critical negative attachment to outcomes.

Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Embrace every phase and keep moving forward. 💪

Life is challenging

It is impossible to be on all the time. For the general population, health is maintained around a mid-point – a foundation for long-term health.

Mid points

A mid-point that is not in alignment with long-term health requires conscious attention moreso than periodic ‘unhealthy’ variations in food and movement in response to challenging life events.

Acceptance and Adaptation

Accepting that ‘unhealthy’ periods will happen mitigates the fairly consistent negative emotional attachments to these phases. The focus needs to be on what happens most of the time.
