Hi, all my lovely See Bride Run readers. Healthy Tipping Point is my new blog name, as I couldn’t keep the old one for much longer! 🙂
A Tipping Point refers to a sociological event during which a previously rare phenomenon becomes rapidly and dramatically more common. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called The Tipping Point, and he describes the Tipping Point as "the levels at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable."
To me, the Healthy Tipping Point is when we stop "trying" to live healthy and centered lives and it just happens. For so many years I struggled to eat well and work out regularly, and then one day — all my little efforts culminated inside me, and I was satisfied with myself, my eating habits, my running! But to me… the journey doesn’t end here! Of course, I love to run and race, and that’s a part of me that I hope I can always explore.
If you aren’t at your Healthy Tipping Point yet, rest assured you can be! Everytime we treat ourselves well (by exercising, enjoying food in a healthy food, splurging when we want to, challenging ourselves, etc.), those actions add up to your eventual Healthy Tipping Point. I don’t necessarily believe "poor choices" take away from our Tipping Point, by the way! Because… to err is human! And–of course–you don’t have to be perfect to be at a Healthy Tipping Point.
Please bear with me while I transition all of the blog. It’s a huge undertaking and may take a week or so! Thanks for your patience, and as always…. THANK YOU FOR READING!
I had an easy and light snack around 11 as I worked on a very tedious document…
And lunch was similar… I just wanted something easy! I have a lot to do today and I didn’t want to spend too much time making and eating lunch.
I fried two eggs and placed them on an English muffin covered in melty cheddar cheese….
Pickles!
And veggies for maximum crunch!
Have you reached the Healthy Tipping Point? If so, when and how did it happen? If not, what healthy habits come easily to you and which do you struggle with?
Te-Te-Testing!
