FIRST IMPORTANT POINT FOR GOOD HEALTH - and to LIVE LONGER
DON'T 'BEAT YOURSELF UP' for not being perfect in your approach to healthcare.

In other words - don't criticise yourself for failing to change. This is a common habit which is very destructive for you - so it is unhealthy. Just say to yourself the affirmation: "I am always always doing the best I can for my health, in the situation in which I find myself, considering the resources I have at my disposal."

This is a great belief which I would recommend you adopt. If you say it over and over many times over the next couple of months, it will get into your subconscious and become your own. Keep it up, and this time next year you will believe it 100%! Try it - you may be pleasantly surprised.

The reason this is such a good belief is that it takes away guilt.

But isn't some guilt good? I don't think so. The problem with guilt is, if you beat yourself up for a bad habit, and then pile guilt on top of that - you double the negative effect on yourself. This makes it much harder to deal with the original problem.

Instead, accept that you will never be perfect (which is obviously true); and accept that you are going to try your hardest to do things a tiny bit better each day.

Think it through - improving things just a tiny bit better each day adds up to a lot over the course of a month, or a year. But you must do that tiny bit each day - however tiny it may be.

Be kind to yourself - you're doing the best you can!
