Is that behavior getting me closer to my goal?

My tip for this week is to ask yourself a simple question before everything you do: is that behavior going to help me get closer to my goal?

We all know what to do to be healthier, eat better, move more, etc. Sometimes it's just a matter of implementing these healthy changes into our lives. Next time you want that brownie, you think skipping a meal is going to make you thinner, you think that one cookie you ate yesterday blew the whole week, etc. Stop yourself! Take a deep breathe, sip on some water and decide what's more important: your goal or those 10 beers.
