It is in our idleness in our dreams that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
My parent's divorce and hard times at school all those things combined to mold me to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.
Sometimes the only realists are the dreamers.
If you think of exercise as a 60-minute commitment 3 times a week at the gym you're missing the point completely. If you think that going on a diet has something to do with nutrition you don't see the forest through the trees. It is a lifestyle. I know it sounds cliche but you have to find things you love to do.
I've been more or less vegetarian for about 40 years. Health diet really helps. I do meditation every day and either yoga or sport several times a week.
If you eat a lot of starchy foods introduce a vegetable once a week then twice a week and then three times a week. Slowly fill your diet with new flavors. By the time you're ready to let go of whatever it is you want to let go of you've got a full menu.
Far too many times over the next 12 to 15 years it was brought to my attention that people who followed my exercise guidelines exactly but ignored their diet their weight and their cigarette smoking had heart attacks at age 55.
I would eat healthy at times and pig out at times. But I never had to go on a strict diet plan.
Sometimes I've had to put myself on a diet.
