“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment.” -Ekhart Tolle

One of the most un-empowering questions I used to ask myself on a regular basis was “WHY? Why do I have to work so hard to manage my weight? Why have I had to worry about my weight my entire life when some people don’t have to give it a second thought?” It took me a long time to realize that it doesn’t matter WHY, it’s just what IS and the real question is how do I want to handle it.
No matter where you are at in your journey today, just remember that it’s where you are supposed to be. Don’t waste an ounce of your energy fighting it. There are lessons to be learned and growing to be done from where we are at this moment. Let’s accept today and anticipate those lessons with joy and embrace the experience no matter what it brings. Even the rainiest of days can produce a beautiful rainbow, just like the most difficult times can bring the most growth and lasting peace when we least expect it. Living a healthy life is a journey and some days are easier than others, but the key is to stick with it and enjoy the process.
