A priority, or not??

Here’s a different way to look at what you might be saying to yourself (or others) about living a healthy lifestyle……

Next time you find yourself saying “I’m too tired to exercise” – replace it with “Exercise is not a priority right now”

Next time you find yourself saying “I’m too busy to eat well” – replace it with “Eating well is not a priority right now”

Not health related, but when my kids ask me every night if I can read books to them, I often find myself saying something like “I’m too tired / it’s too late / ask me again tomorrow night” and so on..…… So I’ve been trying to remind myself that I’m suggesting it’s not a priority, and it SHOULD BE!! And when I look at it in that light, I stop bitching and I read the book with my kids.

We all want to justify why we’re not doing the things we know we should be doing. It’s time to stop trying to make it all sound ok, stop being big babies and start looking after ourselves!!! (or reading a book to your kids)

Saying all that, if it’s just not a priority, well that’s another story. But if you know it should be, then make it happen!!

Have a nice day!
