living well the destructive self-talk that keeps the cycle of negative motivation up. Healthy eating may start as resisting temptation but it becomes a commitment to your wellbeing. Small treats rather than overindulgences become more commonplace and water will start to replace soda as your beverage of choice. Good health is not about deprivation, it is truly about satisfaction. You become satisfied and fulfilled that you have made a great choice for yourself! You will lead by example and you will succeed when others become inspired to care for themselves in the same way. Surround yourself with positive people that support you and you will begin to not only change your life, but also you will affect positive change on others. It is definitely not an easy process to look within and find that “reason” for your need to change. Learn to love the skin you are in and amazing things will happen. Small changes that can become lasting habits can make a much more meaningful impact on your health than a $40 bottle of pills from the drug store. 12 JUNE 2014 | STILLWATER LIVING MAGAZINE
