Have you ever tried doing something that you thought would improve your life and ended up not sticking with it? It's like a New Year's Resolution. We always say we're going to do something, start off really well, and end up just forgetting about it 3 weeks later. I remember saying to myself not too long ago that I'd start eating healthier snacks after school. Today I ate a piece of cake with whipped cream and four chocolate chip cookies, so that obviously didn't last very long. Motivation and willpower alone just wasn't enough. That's why I absolutely love this list of ways to decide on a healthy habit and stick with it. It tells you why you haven't been able to make this new habit a routine and ways to make it just that: routine. Whether you want to eat better, exercise more, spend more time with your dog, sleep more, or stop procrastinating like me, this article can help you do it all. Who knows, with this new found information, I just might try this whole healthy snack thing again (or maybe not lol). What healthy habit will you try to implement into your lifestyle? I wish you the best of luck!

Quote of The Day: “If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!”
