Today I am sharing an audio blog post for a new article that I wrote about vitamins. And I'm not talking about big fat vitamins that you choke down. I am talking about vitamins of wellness that you can't buy in stores or online. These are vitamins of character and health that a lot of people are deficient in and as a result, don't see the success that they so desperately crave. I have posted the article below so you can follow along or come back to it. So, let's dive in! 8 Critical Vitamins You Can't Afford to Be Deficient InEveryone wants to know what to eat, how much to eat, where to eat, when to eat, and who to eat with.If it’s not food, it’s exercise. What gym machines do I use? What exercises should I do at home? Should I do CrossFit? How do I train for this 5k?If information were a vitamin, we’d all be overdosing. That’s not to say that information isn’t necessary. You must have the right information. What I’m saying is that the information isn’t the final answer.In my experience, eight out of ten people who have the right information still fail. Why? Because there’s more to this journey than facts and figures. We need to start looking at the bigger picture.Being deficient in the well-known vitamins -- A, D, E, C, and K — is a bad thing. There’s not much debate there. But there's a whole other set of vitamins that are rarely -- if ever -- talked about. These vitamins are tied to every important aspect of our lives. And it's these important parts of life -- not calories, carbs, and cardio -- that will lead you to success or failure in changing your eating and exercise habits. Let's take a look at these eight extremely important vitamins.Vitamin M - Margin Vitamin M deficiency is an epidemic in the United States. And it’s spreading around the globe at a furious pace.Look at us: we’re over-scheduled, over-burdened, and stressed to a deadly level. We don’t sleep enough. We don’t play. We barely ever spend quality time with the people we love.Margin is the breathing room on the side of your “life script” that you can fill with anything. If there’s no margin, you’re stuck in your current script.This leads to excuse-making: “I don’t have time.” “I don’t have enough money.” “I can’t, I can’t, I can’t."Even if you have the best of intentions, without margin there is nothing you can do to close the gap between your good intentions and your behavior. Margin extends well beyond the obvious areas as well. Margin must be cultivated in every corner of your life from time and money to relationships and environment.If you want clear, step by step directions with mental prompts, I've created a FREE margin makeover workbook that you can download at rebootedbody.com/guides/Vitamin L - Love Human beings crave connection. It fulfills us. But with over 50% of marriages ending in divorce and many more hanging on by a thread, we're losing this deep sense of connection. If our parents struggled to have healthy, intimate relationships then we're bound to repeat the cycle unless we do the work to escape it. Looking at the divorce rate, I'd say that not enough people are doing the work.Too many of us are falling short when it comes to self-love as well. It's bad enough that we struggle in relationships with others; it's tragic that we struggle with loving and accepting ourselves. And really, it's the self-love deficiency that's driving our relationship problems. If you don't believe your worthy of loving yourself, you automatically assume that you're unworthy of anyone's love. That doesn't mean you won't engage in intimate relationships, it just means you'll sabotage them.As one of our deepest needs as a human being goes unmet -- intimacy, it's no wonder that people are turning to food to fill themselves back up. But it's a false and damaging attempt at fulfillment that worsens the cycle of shame, fear, and guilt. More on that later.
