I choose to eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and avoid contaminants that can harm my body. These three choices help me look good, feel good, and strengthen my immune system to deter diseases.

When I eat right, I feed my body what it craves for optimum performance. I take the time to plan in advance so I can eat healthy meals at home. Just a little bit of planning keeps away the temptation to pick up fast food in a hurry.

I find it easy to get plenty of exercise. When I can take the elevator or the stairs, I choose the stairs. When I take a break from my work, I go for a short walk outside to get moving and enjoy some fresh air. When I am at home, I am sure to spend plenty of time playing with my children and pets. This gives us all some healthy exercise!

I do not allow things in my diet or my house that contaminate my health. I avoid excesses like too much caffeine or sugar. I am free from smoke. I clean my house with natural cleaners rather than with harmful chemicals. Plus, I use organic methods of gardening and pest control.

Developing healthy habits helps me to make my choices automatic so that I am not tempted by the unhealthy alternatives.

Today, I plan to rid my house of unhealthy foods and chemicals and replace them with products that contribute to a healthy body.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How often do I pick up fast food?

2. Do I have nutritious food in my house or junk food?

3. What can I do each day to incorporate more exercise into my routine?
