For one day, pay attention to each of your actions and ask yourself “why am I doing this?” So often we do things out of habit and not because they inspire us or meet a personal need.

Choosing Avocados. This fruit is a super food because it contains loads of cholesterol-lowering, heart healthy mono-unsaturated fat. Avocados boost the antioxidant effects of other foods, so pair it up.

Forget All-Or-Nothing
No one is perfect – not even you! There will be days when you eat more calories than you should have. There will also be days when you miss a workout. Don't let small slipups send you into a tailspin of all-or-nothing sabotage. Simply get back to your healthy lifestyle rather than letting yourself backslide into your old habits.

The longest day of the year was this week. Use your time wisely and enjoy the outdoors. A walk around the block can clear your head, calm you down, reduce stress and give you an energy boost! Why not make it a habit to go for a short walk every couple of hours? Whether you're at an office, at home or on a plane, give your legs and brain a stretch!
