Healthy Habits for Life

Henry Ford said, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”

"Today's To-Do List... " We all have them. Most of us write them down; some of us keep them in our heads. Whatever the case, we all need them to ensure that we get done what we've planned for a particular day.

May I suggest that when it comes to your checklist that you include an item you might not have considered: Your wellness. We all know how important exercise, diet and the rest are to our wellbeing. We all know, also, how easy it is to skip (or avoid) health and fitness activities, especially when we get busy.

Recently I was reading an article about commitment and consistency and it said that "commitments are most effective when they are active [and] public . . . ."

Hello CAMP21 friends,

This Wednesday I received an urgent phone call from my wife: PLEASE BRING HOME SOME FRUIT!

You may be asking yourself Why the panic over fruit? Well, in our house, one of our positive habits is eating 3-5 servings of fruit a day. So when we run out of it, it IS a panic. My wife's phone call was her way of being "intentional" about our healthy habits, which is a fancy way of saying we don't like to miss a day.
