What are the 3 keys and why did I create them?
If I gave you the 3 keys to living a happier, healthier and fitter life, then would you be interested? It sounds great doesn’t it!
So what are the 3 keys? Well I can tell you that they are not about doing endless sit-ups, counting calories or strengthening your willpower muscles. Nor are they about retreating to a cave and chanting mantras all day long -although you can do that if you like. Instead the 3 keys are simply a lifestyle; a way of being and a way of living in the world. A way which I live and breathe every day.
I created the 3 Keys to help everyone live happier, healthier, fitter lives. This includes, both preventing and reversing all of the most common lifestyle problems which so many of us are struggling with today.
How is this achieved? Simply by restoring the balance back into your life – something which we all desire, yet as evident by the declining health and happiness of our nation, find so difficult to achieve.
Why is having balance so important?
It’s important because more than 99% of all disease comes from our lifestyle. In-fact, almost every condition or problem in your life right now is the result of putting too much of your energy into one area of your life and not enough into another.
This means that modern medicine can only ever offer very limited results when it comes to both the prevention and reversal of the vast majority of mental and physical health conditions so prevalent today.
And so the only way to overcome these conditions is to live a more balanced lifestyle. You do this by investing the same amount of your energy into each of the main 3 key areas;
What you chew
What you do, and
Living true.
What You Chew
Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food. —Hippocrates
If there is one standalone practice that greatly influences your ability to live a long and healthy life, it’s what you chew. In-fact, your stomach is very much your second brain and greatly affects every other system in your body including most importantly, your immune system.
Unfortunately very few of us really eat a healthy diet. And it’s a sad indictment of society when processed foods are considered the norm and whole foods become an alternative way of eating or just another trend.
What You Chew includes your diet and day-to-day eating habits. It is important to eat a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients and energy, and organic where possible. It’s also important to pay attention to what your body wants and needs from moment to moment. A good diet can be the difference between just getting through the day versus feeling energised and amazing.
In What You Chew, I’ll show you everything you need to know about healthy eating, as well as the ways to reduce toxins, both in your food and everywhere else too. And much, much more.
What You Do
The second key involves what you do. This includes everything you could and should be doing to bring you closer to health and happiness, and less of the things that take you away from it.
In What You Do, I’ll show you everything you need to do to live a happier, healthier and fitter life, including how and when you move, your time spent connecting to nature, the way you cope with stress and relax your body and mind, how you organise your day, the way you set goals, the ways you interact with others and the world around you, and much more.
Living True
The third key to living a happier, healthier, fitter life involves living true and has to do mostly with your heart.
This is the key which is far too often misunderstood and even neglected. It is also often the most challenging of the 3 keys, especially if we are fearful off and resistant to change. However, it is also the same key which has the greatest overall influence on your ability to live a happier, healthier, fitter life.
For too long we have focused far too much attention on the inner workings of the mind when it comes to such things as mental and physical health, behaviour change, motivation and the pursuit of happiness. But what about the heart? Where is its place in all of this?
It is the heart which has the power and capacity to heal and to transform the world and ourselves. It is the heart that feels not the head, and it is for this reason that it is of paramount importance when it comes to these matters. Take for example, something as simple as motivation – If our hearts not in it, then there’s very little chance that we will stick to whatever it is we are doing – our exercise, marriage, career, and anything else. This is just one example of the importance of living true to ourselves in everything that we do.
The truth is that the balance that you seek in your life can only ever really be achieved by knowing and living true to who you really are (which affects everything we think, say and do). And so the most important thing about living true to yourself, is that is has a self-balancing effect on your whole entire life. If you have little self-awareness and/or are not living true, then all of the things which you should be chewing and doing to live a happier, healthier, fitter life simply don’t happen. It’s the glue that sticks everything else together.
In Living True, I’ll show you everything you need to do to live a happier, healthier fitter life, including using your intuition, learning how to cultivate more self-awareness, loving yourself, learning greater self-control, challenging your beliefs, knowing your values, becoming whole, finding inner peace, becoming empowered, creating balance, living in the present, and much more.
The 3 Keys are a Choice
The reality is that the 3 keys are a choice. You can either chose to live the 3 keys and live a happier, healthier, fitter life. Or you can chose not to live the 3 keys, and subject yourself to a host of physical and mental health problems, and with it a decreased quality of life.
At the end of the day, nothing matters more in your life than your health and happiness. And no one has more influence over it than you. And you can do this by living the 3 keys.
So please don’t wait until you get a serious or even terminal diagnosis like cancer before you begin living the 3 keys. Because unfortunately I see this happening all of the time. With that said, the good news is that no matter where you are at or how old you are, it is never too late to start. But it won’t just happen, you have to be intentional about it and make it happen.
