MIND OVER MATTER

Feel like you need to get healthy but lack the motivation? Then zoom out and think about the people and things that matter most to you. It can make all the difference, say US researchers, who found that thinking about things such as what (and who) you value most can make you more open to health advice that will lead to healthier choices. So if you struggle to get up for those early morning workouts, set your alarm a little bit early and take the time to contemplate an image or quote that reminds you of something important to you.
