DARRYL: THE MEDICAL STUDENT WHO HEALED HIMSELF

Sunday, January 18, 2009

When he first came to me, Darryl was a medical student suffering from acne, poor diet, lack of exercise and overweight. In addition, he felt constantly fatigued from his stressful life of studies, erratic sleep habits, exams and more studies. Although he was one of the most hyper-scheduled people I’d ever met, let alone trained, Darryl managed to carve out the time to reorganize his life, to work out, eat right and meditate for a few moments each day. The resulting evolution of his spirit, mind and body brought him radiant health, muscle gains and lasting weight loss.

Although all of my clients inspire me, Darryl was a special case because he managed to do such a good job despite severe scheduling constraints. Darryl is now a practicing physician who embodies radiant health for his patients; his case proves that even the most multi-tasking person can exercise their way to excellent condition in less than an hour or so a day. (Lack of time is one of the most common excuses people give me for not working out. I always tell them that if clients like Darryl can find the time to get in shape, then they can, too.)


Darryl used his powerful intellect to psych himself into total health. Here are some affirmations from Darryl’s mental diet:

“I will never give up because I am climbing the mountain of happiness.”
“I have the ability to love and support myself.”
“I am improving my inner world in order to change my outer world.”
“I am moving closer towards spiritual, mental and physical health.”
“I am stronger than my fears because I acknowledge them.”
“I am a well-rounded beautiful being.”
“I draw my energy from the Universal life force.”
“Life is a miracle and I am lucky to be living it.”

If you are or know of someone who's overweight, overstressed and overworked please share the story with me on this blog.
