LESSON TWO - Escaping the Hole
We “get” that we have an epidemic of chronic disease in our nation. What we don’t understand is how to get out of the hole we’ve dug for ourselves….with our fork! Lesson 2 begins laying the solid foundation to building the framework for our lifestyle of optimal health. Your homework this week gets you started on the first small steps to becoming your own best health care provider!

New Assignments
ASSIGNMENT 2.1: EVENING ROUTINE
"Well begun is half done." - Aristotle (and Mary Poppins). A successful morning always begins with preparations made the night before. Our first homework assignment is to carefully follow the three steps we've outlined each evening before bed so you'll be halfway to morning routine success before your alarm even sounds!
ASSIGNMENT 2.2: MORNING ROUTINE
It's going to be a great day! The plan is set - simply walk in it. In time, this morning routine will become a favored ritual. It builds the framework you need to take great care of yourself. If you don't care for yourself...you won't be able to care well for the others in your realm of influence.
ASSIGNMENT 2.3: DAILY DECLARATION
"Truth Therapy" is the clinical name for our Daily Declaration. Becoming a pro at listening to yourself talk takes practice. Most of us have habitually ignored our own self-talk, much like white noise from a fan (or tuning out your 3-year-old's steady stream of questions). This week we'll begin to tune in more, learn to monitor our thoughts and, consequentially, our actions by speaking truth.
ASSIGNMENT 2.4: CONNECTING WITH THE COMMUNITY
If you didn't do this last week: Log into the online community. Introduce yourself and tell us what you hope to get out of our 8 weeks together.
This week's assignment: Tell us your progress on your evening and morning routines. How's it going?

To be successful and stay on track you need to identify your motivation, goals, and support team. Take a few minutes and fill out the worksheet provided. “No matter how badly you want to change, you can’t succeed without a strategy. The will to change is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to change.”
