Hello all.
For these past, I've improved my physical and mental health a lot. But every so often, I relapse into bad habits: stress eating, not exercising enough, etc.
One night of eating shit, or doing a little less cardio exercise doesn't sound harmful. But imagine if you do something that is bad in a tiny degree, and repeat that every day for years. In the first few days, you don't notice that you feel less healthy. The next day, you don't think so either. Keep up the tiny bad habit long enough, then you won't think you are worse for many years. Then someday, when it's almost too late, you realize that you're much less healthy than years ago.
What's worse: Of the people who finally realize that they're less healthy, a good portion of them think it's just aging.
The same can happen, and have happened to the lefties. They have been slowly moving left-ward, bit by bit, for such a long time that they don't realize that they now agree more with Mao Zedong than classical liberals.
Everyone needs to do one thing that's GOOD for you, one tiny little thing, every day for the rest of your life. Add another thing to that one thing once the one thing is a habit! Rinse, repeat.
