Every day, we wake up with choices.

Choices about what to eat,

how to move, how to rest, what to put in our minds, and how to care for ourselves. And oftentimes, these choices feel hard. They're conflicting, because I'll tell you what, dessert is great.

But also, too much dessert, or desserts out of balance with real nutritious food,

make us feel like crap, and they're a disaster for the body.

For the most part, we know what's best for us.

But in the moment, convenience, comfort, and quick pleasures can tempt us away.

So how do we deal with this conflict?

Well, health in all shapes and forms begins with a mindset choice.

And it's not about being perfect.

It's about choosing consistently to care for yourself in a way that your future self will appreciate.

It's about recognizing that every choice you make is either a step toward a healthier, happier you or a step away. If you take a hundred steps towards health, then one or two, less than healthy choices are probably

still going to be okay, especially if that bit of indulgence allows you to enjoy life and take

the next 100 positive steps.

So there's a balance to be struck struck because life is meant to be enjoyed.

If you don't enjoy your habits, then you won't stick with them.
