The Overcoming Odds Podcast

A man goes to bed at three in the morning after aimlessly scrolling on his phone. A woman walks past a McDonald’s and smells the intoxicating scent of burgers and fries. She walks in and gets a large of everything. A teenager goes to a party and learns that drinking alcohol is a quick way to make friends. They continue to drink every weekend so that they can be popular. People find various vices and cling to them as if they are the only way to happiness. The rush one feels when they experience a high from whatever is their drug of choice is like no other. People are aware of the negative consequences of their choices, but seeing past the haze of short term delights can be tricky. Going to the gym. Eating healthy foods. Going to sleep at a reasonable hour. These are standard healthy habits that is common knowledge. The drive to start on a healthier path has to come from within. Take a moment to consider what healthy habits you have picked up over the years. What have been the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle? Do you have other habits that detract from your health? No one is perfect, but everyone has some strategy or drive that keeps them on track.
