Be Smarter About Your New Years Resolutions

I used to have a rule that I wouldn’t pay money for any foods that were unhealthy. So if a friend offered me a treat, or if there were cookies at an event, that’s all ok. But I didn’t buy processed or sugary foods, and I surely never kept any in my house.

When you truly see yourself as a healthy person, your habits will reflect this. You’ll choose the side salad over fries without even having to think about it.

This takes time, but there’s a lot we can do to speed up the process and set ourselves up for success.

Your actions are a reflection of your values. While you may think you value your health, if you’re not making healthy choices then there’s something else you value more. In this case it’s usually comfort.

If you want to make healthier choices, you need to value your health more than you value your comfort.
