10 “Resolutions” to Make This New Year
Happy 2012! I made a conscious choice not to make any resolutions this year. In the past, I’ve made super specific resolutions and really vague ones, and I truly don’t think either method helps me focus or change my behavior at all. Instead of resolutions, I like to equip myself with tools to change habits I want to change and create a better, healthier life for myself. Inspired by some of my favorite posts from 2011, here are some tools to equip yourself with in 2012.
- Eat things you love, not things you feel “meh” about.
- Have some new books on hand to learn more about how food works in your body.
- Learn more about your local organic farmers.
- Find out why you’re probably not eating enough of some of the most delicious, healthiest foods on earth (coconut milk, avocado, and sweet potato, among others).
- Learn what you can do for your health every single day.
- Educate yourself about why trans fat is such bad news.
- Ban food-related guilt.
- Redefine treats.
- Have a plan for when the inevitable slump hits.
- Read my tips for making cooking more fun.
