You can eat an absolutely perfect diet—which, spoiler alert, doesn’t exist—and be in the best shape of your life, feeling like you’re the epitome of good health. But if you’re regularly beating yourself up for things like…splurging on dessert, not losing weight, missing workouts, etc…then you’re probably not as healthy as you think. And I’m not talking physically.
“Health is not just about what you’re eating. It’s also about what you’re thinking and saying.”
We’re often our biggest critics, feeling like we could always do more or be better. While that may be true sometimes, we tend to be too hard on ourselves. Thinking and speaking well of ourselves, including cutting ourselves some slack, is an important part of leading a healthy life. Strive for progress, not perfection.
If you find yourself having high highs and low lows, remember to be kind to yourself. How you think and what you say have a large impact on your health as well!
