21 Day Transformation
21 days is enough time to begin to influence metabolic biochemistry and fuel partitioning, so you can get a handle on hunger, appetite, and cravings. It's a suitable length of time to begin dabbling in—and progressing through—the Primal Essential Movements; even for a novice exerciser. It's an opportune duration to begin to shift habits around sleep, play, rest, and stress management.
A lot can be accomplished in 21 days. Think of a time when you tried something brand new. Snowboarding, playing guitar, learning a new language, rock climbing... You may have convinced yourself, even before trying, that you were likely to fail, or feel foolish. You were nervous. You might have even talked yourself out of it a few times before you finally leapt in. Change is hard, scary, and uncomfortable.
Now, apply that universal truth to anything relating to health and wellness, and you can multiply the fear of failure by about 100 times.
I realize that you may have already tried and failed at a handful (or a dozen... or a hundred!) other diet and exercise programs before this. 21 days is a gentle baby step.
Or perhaps you need a re-boot. Over time, dedication to certain Primal philosophies can wane. Maybe we've started staying up a little later than we should. Maybe we've slacked on the Primal Essential Movements. Maybe we've forgotten to play.
The 21-Day program is an excellent approach to use once or twice a year to "re-boot" your commitment to your healthier lifestyle.
