F*ck the Bucket List for the Health Conscious

Knowing your own heart can shift your life in both revolutionary and small ways. But it requires alignment between what your mind tells you and what your heart and your intuition are whispering deep inside of you. Before acting on the thoughts that come to you, which you’ve been conditioned to listen to from your mind, you can go deep into your heart and listen like never before. And no one can tell you what’s going on deep inside of you. You can become aware that belief lives in the mind and hope is carried in the heart. Imagine what can transpire when they’re aligned and playing in harmony, just like a symphony.

To create, you align your actions with your words. You can say you are healthy and yet continue to consume sugary soda pop and deep-fried food, which are most likely unhealthy for your body. You can say you care about the environment and yet choose to consume products from companies that pollute the environment, are cruel to animals, or treat people poorly. What actions are you taking—are they unconscious or fully conscious? By examining your thoughts and checking whether they’re aligned (healthy) or misaligned (toxic), you become increasingly conscious of your choices and their impact on your life. As we will explore in the next Expedition, you have within you so much that can be released.
