A friend recently shared with me that “most people do not actually want to be healthy. We just want to feel good.”

We prefer a Tylenol over a multivitamin, chocolate over a salad, a late night movie or game over great sleep. Why is this? We have more knowledge about health and medicine than any other generation in history and yet we continue to make poor health decisions.

My friend’s comment motivated me to step up my game, particularly in the food category. I have been making changes for the past two years, but had reached a plateau. Thanks to him, I broke through.

What is one area of your life where you have settled for feeling good over being healthy? What are you doing to move in a better direction? Please tell us about it in the comments below or on social media. Thanks!
