The Mainstream Is Going Downstream
No matter how you slice it, the truth of the matter is that those who are living in the mainstream are pretty unhealthy.
I've always said that you really have to live outside of the box in order to create a life that is healthy and whole.
It's essential that you swim against the mainstream for optimal health.
Who are those in the Mainstream? They are the people who truly believe that because of their current "busy" lifestyle, the must conform to a life of processed junk foods, convenient fast foods, sugary sodas, overscheduled days, and underscheduled time for self-care.
They are usually unhealthy (mentally and/or physically) and unsatisfied with their current life.
Usually, these are the people that feel "it is what it is" and therefore they have a perpetual feeling of overwhelm, and often times are overweight because of their lifestyle.
The bottom line is this: If you follow the mainstream crowd, without thinking for yourself, you should expect nothing more than the same outcome the mainstream crowd is experiencing.
So what can do to ensure that you're doing what's right for YOU? Think for yourself about what makes sense for YOU.
Never follow a crowd, even if it seems like a "healthy crowd".
That includes the newest diet fad, the coolest execise fad, etc.
Instead, ask yourself "Does this feel right for ME?" "Can I see myself adopting this as a new lifestyle for myself?" Remember: Crowds usually aren't that intuitive or intelligent.
But you're pretty brillant, by your own right.
You have the ability to think for yourself, change your mind at any time, to upgrade or downgrade your lifestyle, and to improve your decisions, so learn to use your unique gifts in these areas to begin trying out new eating/exercise habits and new approaches to taking better care of yourself.
Do what works best for YOU, even if it's outside of what the mainstream crowd is doing.
Looking for ways to get started on the unbeaten path? Here are 3 simple ways for you to get started today:
You can do it!

Looking for ways to get started on the unbeaten path? Here are 3 simple ways for you to get started today:
- Stop Settling: Begin by becoming more intune with what YOUR body wants and needs.
Stop settling for the next best thing that's convenient and really listen to what your body is telling you.
And yes, that probably means that you need to slow down a little to really listen... - Commit: Make a commitment to yourself that you'll stick to, and ride it out to the end.
Are you tired of feeling lack-luster and low on energy? Commit to getting up 15 minutes early 3 days a week for one week to exercise.
Just 15 minutes of extra body movement daily can do the body, mind, & spirit WONDERS! - Be Brave: Rejecting the crowd isn't always easy, but it's certainly a whole lot safer and healthier.
Be brave enough to step outside of the box knowing that you're doing exactly what is right for YOU!
You can do it!
