The Living Force
So something strange has began to happen around me. I've been working on getting my diet in order for about a year now. When I first started many people were either scoffing or making fun of me for what I was doing. Family and parents included.
Now, as of a few weeks ago, I think people are generally wanting me to help them now. It's a bit overwhelming with how many are asking. And actually, I was formally asked to give a presentation (on the 24th of December, not much time for preparation) on my findings and tips on how to get started by my in-laws. Now I say this is strange because it's been hitting me from all directions and from unexpected persons.
I want to be able to help and step up to the plate. Maybe a powerpoint? but then I realized this isn't an easy tell them how to do it and everything will be ok situation. I was only able to get where I am through lots of reading suggested by the forum. I'm not sure if it's possible to just explain these things to others without them wanting to read and delve into the situation that is their diet.
How do I proceed? I want to help but at the same time I don't want to lead anyone astray or babyfeed as I understand that it could make them worse off if they do not understand what they are doing. After realizing that you must read a lot of the diet info on the web with a filter, that will only come from your own independent research and experimentation, I felt as though that in and of itself cannot be conveyed in one sitting.
There is also another issue. Sometimes I have a hard time not using scientific jargon to explain what i'm thinking. This is probably a great area for me to work on relating to others and my system 2 (slow thinking), because otherwise i will be misunderstood which consequently leads to them being more alienated from information they are asking of me.
