The following is a great quote from Anthony Robbins: "It's not what we do once in a while that counts, but our consistent actions. And what is the father of all action? What ultimately determines who we become and where we go in life? The answer is our decisions. It's in these moments that our destiny is shaped. More than anything else, I believe our decisions - not the conditions of our lives - determine our destiny."
Everything we do counts. We make hundreds of decisions a day. Some are tiny and unconscious and some are huge and life changing. But in my opinion, most are small decisions that do not seem life changing. We decide to brush our teeth, to eat a high fiber breakfast, or to exercise. We decide to turn right or take that other route to work or school. We decide to make a call or not to make a call. All day long we make these types of decisions. THEY ALL COUNT! That's good news because we can take control of our lives from moment to moment.
Health is the same way. You are in control of your lifestyle. Get informed, decide on a plan, and take action. Take the tortoise approach to health. You cannot make major changes in a week or for some, a month. Make a decision to consistently build your health one month at a time! Make a decision to get your spine checked more regularly instead of waiting for symptoms. Your body will thank you for it.
