Signs Your Obsession With Your Health Is Unhealthy

For millions of Americans what once started as an interest in health and fitness has slipped into an unhealthy obsession. For some that obsession goes undiagnosed, even praised in the name of health.

I know. I was there.

In today’s diet and fitness culture, eliminating entire food groups like sugar, fat, carbohydrates or dairy is the norm. It’s common practice to assign morality to diet and label the occasional indulgence as a “cheat meal”. A brisk walk or the active day that was the norm in our parents generation is now frowned upon, replaced by the rigors of 90 consecutive days of Ultra HIIT Training #NoDaysOff. Whatever it is, in the pursuit of health, we’ve been made to feel it’s never enough, except of course when it comes to food, in which case, it’s way too much!

This steady barrage of commercial and social media messaging is enough to create a negative feedback loop in our heads.

• “Your body fat isn’t low enough”
• “You need to workout longer”
• “You’re eating the wrong thing”
• “You’re doing it wrong”

That chiseled physique seen in her latest Instagram post gives the illusion of perfection, the picture of health. Few realize that behind the 6 pack and overpriced high waisted leggings, it’s likely your Instagram role model is walking a fine line between health conscious and fully obsessed.  When the pursuit of health slips into the dark crevices of addiction and obsessive thoughts interfere with your ability to be fully present, spontaneous, and just enjoy life… there’s a good chance that you’re experiencing what mental health professionals call “orthorexia”.

We are living in an age of the health-obsessed

So, how does one do you know if your interest has slipped from a balanced pursuit into an obsession.  I want to help you understand how to be aware of the signs and what to do if you think you’re slipping. You deserve peace. You are not flawed. There is nothing wrong with you. Watching this video is the first step…

The overriding theme behind the 131 Method Book (available now!) is to help you BREAK free from diet and fitness culture and, instead, find health and happiness in a way that works for you and puts you in the driver’s seat. 

How Do You Find A Good Therapist?

Because I continue to get so many questions in regard to all things therapy, I decided to finally devote an entire show around the subject! For this week’s podcast feature, I welcome back a super special guest, Dr. Mcayla Sarno. You can trust you’re in good hands (and will find the answers you’ve been looking for) because the good doctor is a field licensed psychotherapist, Brain Training and MindSet Expert, Certified E.M.D.R. Specialist, Author, Speaker and Mentor to many!  Oh, and she’s also one of my best friends in the whole world.

When We Finally Get To Meet

I’m dying to meet you at my one of my Live tapings of The Chalene Show! Next one up is in Los Angeles on April 18th!

However if you’ve ever wanted to share your story with me, (or anyone that’s helped you from afar) might i suggest you put it in writing. Doing so is such a special experience for both parties… Watch this and hear how I was lucky enough to get a re-do when I met my Mentor, Brian Tracy. Check it out!

5 Tips To Get your Mojo Back

There are times when we just know we need to do something. Whether it’s building up the energy to organize the closet, get back into a fitness routine, or find enough hours to ensure better quality sleep. But, for whatever reason, it can be so hard to find the motivation to do stuff you really want to do. (And yes… I, too, have days when I’m just not feeling it!)

It’s not a coincidence that this is one of the most common requests I hear from you… How do I get motivated?

Watch this quick, game-changing video for 5 things you can do right now to get your mojo back!  TODAY!

While on the topic of motivation…here’s an important habit that I believe makes all the difference in my motivation and attitude.

START YOUR DAY WITH POSITIVITY… (LIKE MY PODCAST) and not social media. Social media makes us compare ourselves, and often lowers motivation. Every day I begin my morning with an audio, podcast, audio book, or an online lesson in personal development. I want to encourage you to do the same for one week and tell me about it! I want to make this easy for you… 

Love you. Mean it.

XOXO,

Chalene
