Sit And Watch TV… Really!!!
Maybe, you’ve heard it
before. Maybe you have not. Recognize, Relate, Assimilate and Apply - It’s
the R2A2 formula which is an often read but rarely applied. It’s a
method or technique from what you see, hear, read, and experience that can help
you attain your desires and goals. It
work’s in helping you achieve any goal and I use it to help my clients achieve their
weight loss and fitness goals. This is
our focus this week. Are you ready?
According to the article, Addiction
and America's Fat Problem by Susan Cheever, a columnist for The Fix, "We keep getting fatter and fatter
because we are overlooking, if not ignoring, an important cause of obesity --
addiction. Certain foods, like certain drinks, trigger an addictive reaction in
many people. Once eaten, these foods create a craving for more, more, more.
'Bet you can’t eat just one,' the old Lays Potato Chips ad is as good a
definition of alcoholism (or any addiction) as I know."
Although many critics deem the HBO
series, The Weight of the Nation as lopsided by not addressing solutions; I
find it an eye opener… recognition. Many of us can find “our story” in many of
the stories told. As we relate, we
can move forward in conditioning our minds and our bodies to slim down and
become our very best. Recognize, Relate,
Assimilate and Apply.
If you haven’t done so, watch the
series online or on HBO. Consider this a
learning experience and apply the R squared, A squared formula: Recognize,
Relate, Assimilate, and Apply. These actions will help you grow (no pun intended) in the
direction of your fitness goals.
