The Boring Truth About Health & Wellness

You know those nights when you crawl into bed feeling exhausted — and you realize your sheets are clean and fresh out of the laundry?

Your bed feels SO cozy and comfy.  But those clean and fresh sheets don’t just feel good … they also make it easier to get a good night of sleep!

It’s one of life’s little pleasures…

… all made possible thanks to a boring habit.

Seriously, how many people wake up saying: “Woohoo! I get to change my sheets today!”?

(Answer: Very few. ;-))

But we do it anyway because of the payoff.

The irony is that almost every small pleasure in life — and every success! — is built on a foundation of small everyday habits done consistently and over time.  And a lot of those habits are (yes, I’ll say it) boring.

Those habits affect

• Your health
• Your fitness level
• Your skills
• Even your relationships & retirement account!

There’s nothing sexy about the process — it’s just a matter of continually making wise choices, and showing up and doing the work.

• Choosing to eat healthy foods (even when you don’t want to)
• Choosing to exercise regularly (especially when you don’t want to)
• Choosing to keep trying a new skill until we master it (even when you just don’t wanna)

The payoffs are definitely WORTH IT.

But there’s something else you need to know.

There’s another habit a lot of people develop in life:  the need for instant gratification (wanting what we want, when we want it — right now).

Overcoming that habit means learning a new skill:  delayed gratification.

You can learn it like you learn every other skill in life (driving, playing the piano, cooking, writing):

You practice it … one day at a time.

So, Dearest Reader ...

What’s ONE habit around delayed gratification can you practice — starting today — that will help you move the needle toward a body that's FUN to live in again?
