Word It Right And Talk Yourself Fit

Word It Right And Talk Yourself Fit

Our language, the words we use and the way in which we speak (and write) them, can have a lasting impact on our current and future behaviour. Not only the words we say to others, but more important, our own self-talk can predict our success. Consider the two following sentences:

  • “I choose to eat better because I want to feel energetic and live a long, healthy life.” 
  • “I should stop eating chocolate at night. It just ends up on my belly as a muffin top.”

Which one is more likely ultimately result in healthy living?

Achieving your SMART health goal

Achieving your SMART health goal

Good health doesn’t just happen. Often, a series of choices defines your health. Fortunately, one bad decision usually doesn’t dictate your health outcome: If you eat a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake for dinner one night, you won’t wake up with chronic hypertension the next morning. However, if you were to eat that same meal several nights a week for years, you might develop hypertension or even other disorders.
