What MOTIVATES you to be healthy?

It’s easy to fall off the “healthy wagon” at times: parties, vacations, work, and family obligations. It’s easy to find reasons to skip the gym, or to eat mindlessly when work or life gets hectic.

How does one stay motivated year-round to stick to regular workouts and to not give into food temptations?

Here are some of our favorite motivational quotes regarding lifestyles and habits that we hope will inspire you to make healthy life choices TODAY.

**************************************************************
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” – Anthony Robbins

“Without a struggle, there can be no progress.” – Frederick Douglass

“The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.” – Steve Young

“If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” – Fred Devito

You can’t expect to see improvements if you don’t rid yourself of bad habits that prevent you from progressing – whether it’s being sedentary, eating dessert daily, or “_____(fill in the blank)____”. Bit by bit, get rid of each unhealthy habit, as you adopt and keep new healthy ones. Don’t fall into the trap of re-adopting former habits once you reach your goals. Pick another goal and continue on your journey of wellness.  Every day is an opportunity to do something beneficial, challenging, and favorable for your body and mind.
