Step 2 | Get Inspired

So, if you watched any of the films from Step 1 you may be feeling moved.

You may also be feeling powerless.

If so, it’s the small changes you make on a daily basis by going plant-based that will help you take back a sense of personal control.

Cynics may try to dissuade you, saying that your efforts are a drop in the ocean.

But that’s not true.

This plant-based movement is being powered by young and informed adults across the globe.

A plant-based diet and/or lifestyle is a conscious choice you can make to care for animals and protect your planet.

You are joining millions of others who are waking up to a kinder, healthier and planet-saving high-vibe life!

The three phases of habit formation are:

THE HONEYMOON – You feel motivated and inspired to change, it seems possible – even easy!
THE FIGHT THROUGH – Reality sets in, obstacles get in the way, inspiration fades and change seems less possible. You have to push through the resistance to get back on track.
IN THE FLOW – You have fought through the resistance and you are in the flow. The habit is becoming established, you are seeing results.

Three common interruptions here are:

After the initial impetus fades, you are going to need inspiring role models to keep you motivated to stay on the plant-based path.

Luckily, many people are documenting their plant-based transformations and sharing their discoveries online.

Their stories and daily discoveries are inspiring and motivating.

My personal favourites are:

Rich Roll who produce a superb spirituality/health/fitness-oriented podcast;
Lilykoi Hawaii plant-based health + fitness channel. She offers sensible guidance + is an adult child from a dysfunctional family;
Kate Flowers because she shows you how to make delicious vegan food without being preachy; and
Fully Raw Kristina whose YouTube videos are colourful, polished + uplifting (– though not nutritionally balanced).
