Get out.
Exercise.
Eat real food.
Cut the processed crap.
Cut the added sweeteners.
Quit smoking.
Get enough sleep.
Cultivate relationships with people offline.
Turn off the TV.
Why?
You deserve it.
Feeling good in your body, being healthy, having energy, are worth it.
We’re told at every turn that it’s not.
“You deserve a treat.” Sure you do! But a “treat” isn’t deep-fried or chocolate-covered.
Can you really think of no way to reward yourself for whatever you feel you need to be rewarded for other than to eat junk food?
(How often do you need to be rewarded?)
Have you lived in a sluggish, tired body for so long that you forget how good it feels to have energy and mental clarity?
Being tired all the time is not the inevitable result of hitting a certain age. Neither is weight gain. Many significant health ailments are avoidable or reversible.
When I was in my mid-20s, people who were in their mid-30s told me I would understand when I was their age. Same thing happened in my mid-30s from people in their mid-40s.
As I pass through their ages, I understand that they were blaming it all on aging so they didn’t have to accept that it was really something they had some control over.
Make healthy choices.
You deserve it!
