The Importance of Consistency in Committed Relationships and Life Goals

-

When it comes to committed relationships, whether it be marriage or a committed partnership, we make a vow to support and be with each other through good times and bad. But can we truly be committed if we are only willing to fulfill our commitment on certain days or circumstances? The same goes for our commitment to a healthy lifestyle or achieving a certain goal. Can we truly reach our desired outcome if we are only willing to put in the effort sometimes?

Being a parent, a soldier, or someone who wants to change the world all require a consistent level of commitment. A mother would never choose not to feed her child because she wasn't feeling like a mother that day, and a soldier wouldn't skip a war just because they wanted a day off. So why do we think it's okay to cheat on our diets or skip our workout just because we're not feeling it that day?

The same goes for our own personal integrity. We may not like it when others lie to us, but do we hold ourselves to the same standard? The small choices we make every day can have a big impact on our habits and mindset in the long run. Are we preparing ourselves for success or failure?

It's important to realize that consistency is key in all aspects of our committed relationships and life goals. We must be willing to put in the effort and make the commitment every day, not just when it's convenient for us. It's time to take a step back and think about the choices we make and how they are affecting our overall well-being and success in the long run

The dose makes the poison!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni   This principle is the cornerstone of modern toxicology practice. The idea is that even harmful substances, such as poisons, are safe to consume in very small doses. For example, many heavy metal poisons such as Arsenic or Lead are ever present in our environment. Therefore, they are also present in many foods we consume in minute quantities. Toxicology experts have studied their effects on the body and that knowledge has been incorporated into the regulatory guidelines such as those provided by the FDA for foods that are marketed in interstate commerce.    But this principle is not only about poisons. Even harmless substances such as water can become poisonous if consumed in large quantities. Our diets have gone so far out of whack with our nature that most people end up suffering the consequences of overdosing on foods that become poisons.    Since I have been wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for a while, I have noticed how the dose does make the poi

Do you want to lose 20 pounds?  Do you want to lower your bad cholesterol?  Do you want to maintain a consistent workout routine?  Do you want to enjoy better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed?  Do you want to adopt healthier eating habits? At first glance, these may seem like personal desires, but what if they're actually fundamental needs for our health? Lets consider few simple scenarios to clear this a little bit. Often, we sacrifice sleep and stress over work to ensure our loved ones' happiness. We grew up believing the idea that Food, Clothes and Roof over our heads are the basic needs. What if there was more? Think about this:  If you had a pounding headache, could you give your kids quality time?  If you had a stomach ache, could you be affectionate with your spouse? If you have a bad back ache, what quality of work can you produce? Now let's pause for a moment and think deeply about another scenario:  You're battling a terminal illness. Would you be concerned
