avoiding doing things that are difficult, especially for our health. In life, we always try to take the "path of least resistance" because it's the easiest and usually the fastest way.
But that doesn't translate easily, nor does it translate into growth. Yalta is easy to translate into Energy metabolism - But when we push the envelope and challenge ourselves to do something more challenging, to push ourselves beyond our current limits, the ROI grows exponentially. There is no better example than lifting weights in the gym—one of the best things we can do to shape our bodies and tone our muscles. It's hard now, it won't happen after many iterations. Feeling the benefits of strong muscles requires continuing to challenge yourself by adding more weight. Without some stretch/pain in life, there is no gain. It is called evolutionary development, and all human emotional, mental, and physical challenges are within the greatest opportunity for growth. Emotions matter Changing our perception is the starting point. Seeing challenges as opportunities for growth is the obvious answer to facing fear and eliminating negative influences. Challenges boost adrenaline and energy output and increase heart rate, but not as a "fight or flight" response. Different hormones are released when we face challenges; we are more attentive and have easy access to our mental and physical faculties. As humans, we are literally and figuratively weak because we take the "easy way out." This explains why we are currently experiencing a global health crisis. We want to be healthy, but it's hard to find time to lift weights or go to the gym We want to be healthy, but it's hard to waste time on things that are easy and unnecessary We want to be healthy, but it is "too hard" to give up our destructive diet in favor of nutrient-dense food. We want to be healthy, but we don't want to spend time cooking and preparing meals. It's hard and that's why we choose "fast food" ... (the only thing about fast food is how it destroys our health). We want to be healthy, but we want it as a reward for an adjusted lifestyle, not something we earn from "hard work". We want to be healthier without "working hard". It's not easy to push the envelope. Life is not designed to act like this. Life is built as a reward - a system of give and take. What you put in is what you get out. It is very simple. This opportunity is missed by many people because of their dress and business style. -Thomas A. Edison Pushing challenges aside and continuing to take the easy way out sends a clear message to our minds and bodies that we are satisfied with our lives. Life comes back to us in the same way, and instead of opening wide doors to new possibilities or healing us from the inside, it begins to decay. The truth is, we either move forward by tackling "hard things" or we push ourselves into the negative by staying in our comfort zone. Success in anything is directly related to sacrifice. Sacrifice often means giving up something for something else. The "good" things we all seek in life are obscured by our desire to reject the "hard things" instead of the easy things. Our current state of health is a perfect example and reason to start "the hard stuff." It's time to sell the illusion of the "easy way" of health for the real development of "hard solutions," because we cannot move forward from the health crisis, individually or globally, until we address the root causes. If we don't focus on the root cause, it's only a matter of time before another global health disaster masquerades as "a virus or another disease." "It's better to make a lot
