Day 12 of my top 30 for 30:
When I started my raw food journey, I experienced a number of health improvements, including a significant improvement in the fatigue I was experiencing, clearing of my constant nasal congestion, a greater sense of well-being, a greater sense of clarity, etc. The sharp contrast I experienced between how I felt before making my transition to raw and how I felt afterwards painted a very clear picture in my mind that is just as clear today as it was 30 years ago.
Having this clear picture of the reasons why I started my health journey is one of the many reasons why I have stayed on the raw food vegan path over the long term.
The reason why I’m covering this here is that, when the challenges come up, if you have a strong picture in your mind or have a strong connection to why you started on this path, this can help to inspire you to continue on your path. On a related note, Dr. Rick can remember back to his early days of making positive healthful changes and working away from the unhealthful ones, which at times seemed difficult, he kept one major theme in mind that was a constant source of inspiration for him: “The bigger the challenge, the greater the reward!”
