The single most important factor in living a healthier life is believing that you can. This type of confidence in being able to reach a goal or to improve in a particular aspect of your life is called self-efficacy. But self-efficacy isn’t automatically there for everyone in every instance. You may feel very confident in your ability to improve your nutrition habits, but less confident in your ability to exercise regularly. As you think about those things in your life that you’re good at, assess your confidence levels in those areas. You’ve had the ability to do this, to be better, to live healthier within you all along. Now it’s time to apply those qualities of consistency, patience, work ethic, and all of the other positive attributes you possess, to one of the most important areas of your life…your health.
