Radical Change

What if you actually DID all the things you KNOW are healthy?

I know I can't be the only one whose days are full of shaking my head and saying "I know I should ______, but it's hard." I know I should cut sugar from my diet but I get the munchies. I know I should dive into scripture every day but I don't feel like it. I know I shouldn't let the kids watch TV but I need a break. I know I shouldn't use my phone so much but it helps me unwind. I know I should make the kids eat real, whole food and stop buying processed junk but they'll complain and it's a lot of work.

So what if, for 21 days, you just... did the right things? All of it. Cold turkey. Just make good choices. Quit whining, quit excusing yourself, quit your bad habits. All of those things you KNOW would make you healthier, you KNOW would help your kids grow up stronger, do those things. What would happen by the end? Would the habits stick, or would you decide it's not worth it? Would you hate yourself for putting yourself through it, or love yourself for the gift of improved health, better mood, and increased productivity? Most scary of all, would the kids be miserable and traumatized for life, or more stable, capable, happy, and healthy little creatures of joy?

I don't have the answer to those questions, but by May 19 I will. Stay tuned for the details on my personal changes - and please do let me know if you're in this with me. Keep me company. This is going to be a bumpy ride.

The change begins on April 26!
