The New You

[Guest guest]

I remember reading in Deepak Chorpa's books that the body is

replaced, every cell, in seven years. I asked a few friends in

medicine and they confirmed. Thsi was tested with radioactive dyes.

Every cell in your body is replaced every seven years. Some organs

faster.

That made me think. Every seven years I am overweight, I am

recreating the fat! Woah!

So how do you make the changes so your next you is different?

Obviously, following 's advise is helpful. On Tibetan Monk,

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, worded it this way: 10% improvement. When

people usually try to make big changes, they try to change 90% of

their life and it rarely works. Instead, improve 10% at a time.

So take each week to improve 10% of your life. Maybe we replace sodas

with water. Maybe we cut out desserts. Maybe we replace the afternoon

starbucks with carrots and herbal tea. Maybe we replace 1/2 hour of

TV with a walk.

You didnt get this way overnight, so you arent going to change back

overnight. And all of 's advise goes hand in hand with this.

So think 10% and in seven years the new you will be exactly who you

want to be.
