Hmm interesting. I've had moments when I felt like there was a force holding back, and usually it was me over analyzing things. Like, I can't juice often because my juicer isn't that good. Or I don't feel like exercising because I have work to do, or whatever. But as soon as I get into the juicing or the exercising, it tends to just keep going by itself. :)

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's super helpful to see how things happen for you.

Though I am always active and strive to be fit and healthy, I haven't spent much time or energy in stretching and drinking raw juice. Those are two simple activities I know can make a huge difference in how I feel on a daily basis. It almost feels like there is a force holding me back from doing some of the things I know will benefit me and I have to make an effort to fight that “force” that's all in my mind.

Hi Suzen! Thank you for sharing your own struggles. I know what you mean, I tend to skip exercise in exchange for more time on the computer too. ;) What I've found to be helpful is to get a buddy to encourage each other.

Also, making your work outs fun helps too! So if you like to listen to documentaries or audio programs, do it at the same time as you run on your treadmill.

Thanks for commenting, seeing other people's stories helps a lot! :)

What a valuable blog post and lesson for us all! Man, I've put myself last on my list of “to do's” for decades and it shows up now as I'm aging! I do try to be regular about exercise, but all too often blow my day away right here in the blogosphere. I've tried making this my “reward” for my time on the treadmill – sometimes it even works! Thanks for this encouragement to do the right thing!

Hi Asami!

It's so cool to hear from someone in Japan, it reminds me how truly global the web is. :) And yay ex-cookie-monsters unite! ;)

I'm so glad you're giving green smoothies a try! It might take some time before you feel all the effects, or might be pretty instant, it depends on the person.

And you're very welcome, thank YOU for being here and sharing your story!

Nice post! Especially on "Investing in your health without giving up."

I'm a student of Tokyo University and interested in raw foods.

I've also got various diseases, and taken a lot of pills without researching and improving my eating habits(I've been a cookie monster, too!)

After I bumped into your blogs, however, I came to know that I have to face my eating habits. Trying to drink a green smoothie everyday. I now feel that this works for me.

Thank you very much for good posts and videos!

Aww I love what you shared Linda! I definitely think we have a lot in common when it comes to coaching and being able to objectively view things.

Having someone else to look to is a way to not taking too much responsibility, in my experience. But I've found a coach to be different, since they can give you an outsider's view and question you so you find out for yourself what the right choice might be.

Love it! :D
