Want to become more healthy? I'll tell you the secret right now... It all starts in your mind. If you don't change the way you view things you're going to turn something that really isn't that complicated into something that's seemingly impossible. For example, let's look at EXCUSES. They're like the plague. Cure one and three more pop up. We're about to run into the worst part of the year too; what I call "holiday time."

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and BAM we're screwed. To be fair, even if you pig out on these days you'll probably be alright. What we forget about is the silent excuses. Holiday parties, work events, house parties, white christmas's, oh and did you forget about the day before AND after a holiday? What about all those left overs? What was once 4 days of cheating in 3 months just became 15 days. Now let's add in life, we have birthday parties, weekends, random events, 'I worked hard now I need a drink' days and what was once 15 days is now around 40. Man those weekends are killer aren't they?!? Let's sprinkle on these fake holidays such as national donut day, taco day and cupcake day and we're sitting around 45 days of cheating with "good" reason. That's about every other day you have an excuse to cheat and eat like crap. 

Excuses are everywhere, and it's getting worse. Still want to get healthier? Change the way your mind view these days and make a logical decision on how you want to handle them. Is this activity, holiday, event, outing going to benefit your health and help you achieve your goals or push you further from them? Will you allow these "excuses" to control you, or will you control them?

Tony Robbins says, "The challenge with most of our current beliefs is that they are often developed unconsciously, or without direct, critical thinking on OUR part." We must THINK through our decisions and never forget that, "information is an incredibly valuable resource, but it must be balanced with common sense and proven results to truly serve our ultimate outcome." 

Think about it.
