Play Games

Is it healthy not be too serious? To have fun too?

Exercise & dieting to lose weight, or maintain a healthy weight, can be painfully boring. Here’s how I play games to battle motivational fatigue:

  1. Remind myself how great I feel compared to when I wasn’t healthy
  2. Simply smile when people say you don’t need to worry about health
  3. Enter age-group competitions
  4. Create powerful mantras

Never get bored with the basics and tune out the prevailing societal, negative psycho babble.
