Nobody's perfect

E-mail Print PDF

birthday cakeI have never been a massive Rugby fan but former Wallabies captain John Eales had my favourite ever sporting nickname. They used to call him Nobody, because he was always so perfect (i.e. nobody's perfect). It is true in all things in life, including our lifestyles. Nobody is going to eat exactly the right things all the time, nobody is going to exercise perfectly, and nobody is free of negative thoughts. And it is how you think about and deal with these occasional imperfections that will decide how healthy you become. Do you treat these moments as an earned reward or a moment of learning?

 

The phases of learning

StudyThere are 4 phases of any learning process.

The first of these is unconscious incompetence (you don't know what you don't know). When it comes to our health many of us reside here. Ask some people around you a simple question, what is health? and you will get a lot of shrugs and a series of I don't knows before you get anyone who gives you an answer. A lot of us are uninformed about what health is and also how to get there.

 

Can't keep your new years resolution?

new yearDo you shudder to look in the mirror after Christmas? Do you promise yourself that by this time next year you will be back in your old jeans, showing off your six pack and happy as Larry - only to find yourself making the exact same promises 12 months later?

Most people create New Years resolutions around things that they want to stop doing: 'I want to stop eating junk food'. 'I'm going to watch less TV'. The wording tends to be in the negative: 'I want to stop...' I'm no longer going to....'

 

Changing your perception

doorsA new study of over 6,000 British civil servants has determined that people who perceive they have been treated unfairly are more likely to suffer a heart attack or chest pain. In fact those who believed they had experienced the worst injustice were 55 percent more likely to experience a coronary event than people who thought life was fair.

 

Creating positivity

hopeEverybody knows someone who is painfully positive. No matter what is going on in their lives they still approach it with child like enthusiasm and a huge smile on their face. We also all know that person who is the exact opposite. They could win the top prize in the weekday lotto and complain that it didn't pay very well. In fact of you put these two people into exactly the same situation (stimulus) they would react very differently to each other, how is this possible? Aren't we all wired the same?
