Don’t get hung up when you make ‘lesser-than’ or unhealthy decisions. Life’s too short for self-shame.
Every single one of us slips.. and you can always turn a setback into a comeback!
Live the 80/20 rule: If it’s helpful to you, allow yourself a margin of error – say up to 20%… Strive to do your best 80% of the time, and do not fret – or sweat – the remaining 20%.
Holistic health includes a balanced, healthy perspective with grace for yourself and others. Embrace your own pace, and keep it real.
