Integration

Why does Western society have such a problem with obesity?

It’s certainly not for a lack of information. There are government food guidelines for healthy eating. There are millions of books on the subject of nutrition. There are countless people who make their living as nutritionists, ready and willing to help us understand the impact of what we put in our mouths. And then there are all of the diet programs that promise results.

It’s certainly not for a lack of possible fitness activities. There are gyms and fitness studios galore - each of them with personal trainers for hire and all promising to deliver “a new you”. And then there are the “freelance” personal trainers who will come right to your home to help you exercise. We have an entire industry built around exercise and fitness equipment. From high-tech running shoes to exercise bikes and full-size weight-lifting machines for your house.

The issue is that information and activity options, in and of themselves, are useless if they are not integrated into our lifestyle.

Integration is the key to success!

The same can be said of the epidemic of consumer debt in Western society. The problem is not a lack of information or “plans” to help you save more, spend less and invest wisely. The financial “experts” are everywhere and are quite happy to help you tackle your debt situation. The problem is integrating this new lifestyle into your daily activities.

Whether it is a new retirement savings plan, a new way of eating or a new fitness regimen, you will only be successful if these new practices become ingrained into your day-to-day life and become an integral part of who you are.

The same is true about the Power of Mortality™. You can read my book, you can listen to the podcast, and you can subscribe to these Mindful Moments - but the true power of living a life that is Fearless, Focused and Free From Regrets will only be yours if you integrate the Power of Mortality™ into your life.

In the coming weeks I’ll be discussing how to integrate the Power of Mortality™ into your life.

ENJOY NOW!

You have a very good point about the importance of integrating. With so much information out there and so many options, I think a lot of people are simply overwhelmed and never end up wholeheartedly integrating a plan to eat right, save money or invest wisely into their lives. As information consumers, its definitely quite a challenge to find the right stuff to integrate. And as information producers (our blogs for instance), we know there are people out there who can really benefit from our advice, but its a big challenge to find them!

Regards, and I like your overall message.
