7 Habits of the Healthiest and Happiest People
Want to maintain optimal health and optimism? Here you go.
They Sometimes Say “No” to Something They’d Like To Eat (or Drink)
As most people know and are sad to acknowledge (me included), a lot of things that taste awesome are terrible for your health and cause a lot of damage when we eat them. Sugar. Wheat. Alcohol. To name a few. It takes effort to exercise discipline, to not always eat everything you want to eat.
Grabbing and devouring everything delicious is the path of least resistance.
It’s also the path to way lesser overall health, weight gain, and more disease.
People who are the healthiest will regularly say “no” to certain things that, in their minds, they’d like to eat. Maybe they already ate a piece of chocolate, so they say no to the cookie. They didn't eat super healthy yesterday, so today, they say no to all things bad for them. They splurged and had a rare slice of cake on Saturday? They stay away from desserts for the next few days.
This is what being healthy means. Making thoughtful choices. Being mindful of what’s going in your body (and when). And not always saying “yes.”
