“Remember, what’s talked about is a dream, what’s envisioned is exciting, what’s planned is possible, but what’s scheduled is REAL.”

ANTHONY ROBBINS

What can you do after leaving here today? What immediate, massive action can you take so youdon’t lose momentum? Are you going to join a gym? Hire a personal trainer? Sign up for Life Mastery?Completely empty out your cabinets and refrigerator and go on a health food shopping spree? Set upsupport group of Living Health graduates?

Finally, beyond this challenge, while it is ideal to maintain these same standards of living healthconsistently throughout your daily routine, the reality is that it is not practical for everyone to live bythese principles 100% of the time. Our goal has been to present you with as much knowledge and asmany tools as possible so you can make your own informed decision about what is right for you.

We sincerely hope that first and foremost, you take advantage of the 10-day challenge to experience allthat a lifestyle of “Living Health” has to offer, but that you also learn to incorporate the principle of“zigging and zagging.” Know that for some people, maintaining the highest standards of living healthevery single day, for every meal (zigging) may be obtainable, but depending on what works for you,might not be sustainable. So, if you feel like indulging (zagging) by all means allow yourself that setaside one meal or one day every week or two when you eat whatever it is that you want so you canconsistently maintain and continue to build the health, vitality and energy that you desire and deserve.
