5 More More Reasons Why Your Health Plan Isn't Working Out (Installment 3)

August 25, 20252 min read

The following came from a list of 100 reasons that I wrote many moons ago.

Recently, I revisited that entire list and frankly, I learned a lot.

Here's another 5% of those highlights…

In no particular order.

Reason #35

Something unexpected came up and thwarted your plans.

Yeah, life happens.

How bad do you want it?

Get back on the wagon.

Simply restart.

Reason #17

You feel guilty.

As much as we're told it is, self care is not selfish.

It's really a good thing.

The way I see it, it's the only way to sustainably look after your loved ones.


Reason #12

You haven't scheduled it.

“The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.”

Stephen Covey said that.

“If it's not scheduled, it's not real.”

Marie Forleo said that.

Reason #32

You think the last step is actually the first step.

When you paint a room, what's the first thing you do?

It's to fill the holes, then sand, then wash, then tape, then drape, THEN PAINT.

Don't jump ahead. All in due course.


Reason #14

You're in resistance.

Your reptilian fear based brain is kicking up a fuss.

It doesn't want you to change.

Maybe you need a SHIFT or LIFT to clear the mind monster.

➡️Or maybe your first steps are to

Unexpectedly take charge of your reptilian brain

Get over your guilt, and

Just schedule yourself an IV nutrient therapy treatment already.
