Consequently, they turn to diets, exercise programs and any number of products and aids … and that’s not to suggest that these things can’t help, but on their own, without mastery, they will never deliver the results, because without an understanding of all the obstacles that will invariably trip us up, we will never overcome the all-powerful forces of habit and survival that will derail our best intentions.
#Still the master of my domain how to#
We all want to be healthy, but very few people have the slightest clue on how to go about it. I don’t know why it is that we never consider our health to be something that needs to be mastered and perhaps that’s why most people fail to live healthy lives. Well believe it or not the very same thing applies to your health. The master gets beautiful results with minimal effort. It’s the same with a master craftsman, a highly trained athlete or a master of any other endeavor you can imagine. The differences in effort, performance and sound between a beginner and a master are night and day. The funniest part of the Seinfeld episode was that in spite of their best intentions we all knew they had no chance of mastering that particular domain indefinitely.īut here IS the thing, when it comes to achieving a lifetime of fitness and health … our chances of long-term success are just as remote as domain mastery was for Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer unless we learn how to master health and let’s be clear, abstinence and mastery are not at all the same thing.įor example, think about the difference between someone learning to play the piano and someone who has mastered the instrument. Here’s the thing, whenever you see mastery in action you cannot help but notice that everything a master does is with purpose, confidence, minimal effort and absolute certainty, and if you learn how to master your health you will experience the very same thing. They never manage to really understand what health mastery really entails. We don’t equate health with the ability to master health, and that’s why most people fail. Why is it that we don’t associate our health with mastery? Our health is the most valuable thing we own, and yet living a healthy lifestyle is arguably one of the most difficult things we can acquire, and that’s because we don’t think of our lifestyle in that way. If you didn’t answer “yes” to those questions, it’s highly likely that you are not the master of the most important domain you have … your health.

In other words, have you designed a healthy lifestyle that you actually enjoy living? Okay, that was great comedy, but let’s segue into another form of mastery, and that is this Are you master over your health, fitness and general wellbeing? And so, the bet is on … which is of course is a contest to see who can remain master of their domain by holding out the longest.
