Healthy Eating Tips: The Secret to Starting Right

How do you start eating right? There’s one simple secret. Many of us think that to switch to healthy eating, we need to force ourselves. But that’s not true—forcing yourself is always a bad idea. Instead, start praising yourself for intending to eat right. “I’m a good person, today I’m going to start eating healthy,” or “I’m a good person, tomorrow I’ll start eating healthy,” or “I’m a good person—I’ll start eating healthy soon.” Praise yourself for the intention or the smallest step in that direction, and you’ll see that this method works wonderfully. And it doesn’t just work in the area of nutrition, dietetics, or health but in all other areas as well. It’s much more productive to praise yourself for the result, whether achieved or not yet achieved, than to scold yourself for any mistakes
