Dr. Perlmutter shared insights with Preschool of the Arts. His powerful and positive message was well received by our parents.
DON'T GET CAUGHT IN A WEB OF YOUR OWN WEAVING --
So often we weave webs of behavior around ourselves and believe we are unable to break out of them. If this were really true, although we are creatures of habit, we would be trapped and never make positive changes in what we do.
When Dr. David Perlmutter addressed us recently, he strongly suggested we make changes to our lifestyles, some of them radical, in order to improve our health. Do we have the willpower (what some refer to as 'won't power') to turn aside from previous ingrained habits? Even if it might improve our chances of longevity with a better quality of life?
The opening words of the Torah show how Abraham was able to go out of his comfort zone and his natural perspective and step beyond into uncharted territory. That act brought him blessings.
So many times we work ourselves into a comfortable rut, doing the same things for so long that we think we cannot change and indeed may even be afraid to change to new behaviors and ways of doing things. Think about it: if your health and wellbeing were at stake, would you take a chance?
You can start with one toe -- advance to a baby step - and then step fully out of your comfortable zone into a zone that could offer even more comfort, open new vistas, and bring major blessings.
