What does creating a healthy, freedom-based lifestyle by design really mean to me?

So this week I wanted to talk to you a little bit about what it really means to me to create a healthy freedom-based lifestyle by design.

I want to talk to you about the power of the compound effect of good habits over time and what they can do to support your health, your goals, and your growth as a person and a professional. So a lot of study and work on this subject matter.

This week I want to talk about a very important topic and it is this: when does a habit, bad habit, a behavior and indulgence or an addiction become a problem. I get a lot of people that ask me this question, and it’s tough because everybody defines us differently, right? When does something actually become a problem? And how I personally define this is this.

I just took off on vacation in Turks and Caicos. I am down here for a week, respite, a little bit of recharging rejuvenation and really celebrating, you know, all that we’ve been able to do here and accomplish in the last few months during a challenging time.

What does true freedom mean to you? Does it mean freedom of thought and behavior? Freedom from bad habits and addictions? Does it mean free and able to live life as you choose?

A disease is defined as: a particular quality, habit, or disposition regarded as adversely affecting a person or group of people. A disease if not treated properly, often gets progressively worse and more problematic in one’s life. Addiction is a medically-diagnosable disease just like heart disease or liver failure. If left untreated, it too can be deadly.

Addiction is a huge problem in society affecting over 25 million Americans and counting every year. It prevents people from living to their full potential, from achieving their goals, from living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.
