I don't know about you, but usually when thinking of what a wise person is, I conjure images of old men, high atop their meditative mountains passing out judgements and advice to weary travelers. But is that really what wisdom is? And what does wisdom have to do with weight loss?
Wisdom is not a quality that belongs solely to the very old or the very experienced. Every time you act with insight and discernment instead of upon impulse, you are, for the most part, exhibiting wisdom. Solving your problems with reasoning, intuition and experience as opposed to ignoring them or acting against your better judgement takes wisdom.
We tend to approach weight loss as a series of mind games or as a strategy to be implemented in an all-or-nothing capacity. We envy others we perceive as having will power in greater quantities than we do, or who seem to have found the magic formula before we did. However, those who succeed at weight loss have more often succeeded at reforming their habits and have taught themselves strategies for lessening the lure of temptation. This is wisdom.
It is difficult to develop wisdom without failing a few times. Wisdom is learning from those failures and refusing to repeat them. Wisdom also comes from experience and committing to the habits that improve your mind, body and soul. Wisdom takes time and patience to develop, but it goes hand in hand with your weight loss strategy. Instead of dieting this week, take a look at how you can draw on your own wisdom to win the battle against your weight.
