What Is Personal Growth

We all as individuals have to grow......Mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. But you ask where do I start. It will depend on what is going on in your life right now. Are you feeling out of sorts with your health? Are you emotionally drained? Are you physically out of shape? Are you mentally fatigued?

Let's take a look and see where you are and let's find out what you need to do to start. Everyone is different and we may all start the road too Personal Growth in different arenas.

As a nutritionist I usually start with a health awareness questionnaire and move from there. Someone with health related issues is going to have a tough time getting their head into the game when it comes to self development and personal growth. They can have a lack of motivation and self esteem, especially if they are overweight, and everyone should know that being overweight leads to many health related problems including but not limited to heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and the list goes on. When someone has ill health they are usually nutrient deficient because healthy bodies don't get sick and diseased.

Do to the fact that the majority of people cannon get all the nutrients their bodies need from the food they eat. The food is devoid of those nutrients because of the way the masses of food is produced. Even if one eats, organic and home grown, we are so depleted, we would have to devour way too much food. So I would start someone out on a healthy eating plan, not a diet, because diets don't work, but a plan that will teach a way of eating for a lifetime. And no it is not difficult to achieve. It is about reprogramming the mind and how we think about food and find the foods that work for us and eliminating those that don't. This is an important step with personal growth because we are what we eat. And once someone realizes this they can then start the process of change and growth...Not in inches or pounds but mental growth and awareness. Education is key.

With us all having our own habits we need to be able to look at who we are and look to what can be changed to make us a stronger person spiritually, mentally and physically. Nutrition is key to our health and wellness, for without it obesity, allergies and asthma, hearth disease, diabetes are all increased risk factors. What we do now will not only effect us but our children and their children. When we are teaching the next generation how to be better people by addressing their own needs we create a healthier generation moving forward.

So we start with just ourselves? What do you think? Wouldn't changing a whole family be a great idea? Obesity is at an all time high in our children....You and I together can make changes....One person, One family or One child at a time. It is not all about what we eat, it is not all about what we do, it is not all about exercise, it is not all about what we think...It is all about all of these working together to make the change in people's personal growth. Are you ready to grow? Let's work together to make these changes.
