I want you to begin your journey with this simple exercise. Let’s get your health goals clearly identified. You may be tempted to skip this section, but don’t! You will see, this is absolutely vital!
In the ancient of most writings, the Bible, Moses the prophet gave the children of Israel an impressive representation of how not to forget the commandments, judgments, and statutes. They can be reduced to these six actions:
-Teach
-Observe
-Keep
-Hear
-Place in your heart
-Repeat constantly
I will reveal to you how to accomplish a transformation of your life following these and many other simple principles. Your task will be to observe them carefully, place them in your heart, and repeat them constantly. Repetition makes for good learning.
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:9
Start your journey by circling your 35-day goal below. (Print this page if you need to.) If you don’t see your goal in the items “a” through “f” below, on a separate piece of paper write your own personal goal(s). Be very specific and make them realistic and achievable.
a. I want to lose ____ pounds
b. I want to improve my diabetes
c. I want to have less pain
d. I want to have less depression
e. I want to reduce my cholesterol
f. I want to have a lower blood pressure
g. I want to beat this addiction
We have talked about how to set goals for health.
Now take these goals and tape them on the mirror in your bathroom, hang them all over the place, including on the doorpost so you will see them when you come and go and on the mirror so you will see them when you get up in the morning to wash your face and brush your teeth. Remind yourself constantly!
I will be continually stressing to you to keep your goals always in sight. This is the first Action in establishing ultra-health. Know where you want to go and fix your sight there and don’t stop till you get there.
