It is very easy to get overwhelmed by everything we are supposed to do to keep ourselves healthy. Workout everyday, eat right, meditate, get regular checkups, avoid stress, yadda yadda. It seems like the maintenance list for the average human would take up more time than a full-time job, which, if we want to pay the bills, we all have. And if we have a full-time job, chances are we work 40 or more hours a week, we can't avoid stress unless we vaporize our coworkers, and by the end of the day, we want a pint of ice cream, not steamed veggies.

This was a thought that I had. What if we didn't take the whole picture at once? It's a bit like something I saw either on the Net or in a book. "How do you eat an elephant?" "One bite at a time". So what if I took one thing per week to work on? Not worry so much about the rest, just focus on the one thing and then add something else the next week and so on and so forth.

So beginning this coming week, and so you know, my weeks start on Sunday because that's when I go to weight watchers, I will tackle one thing, one healthy habit I need to work on. And then the next thing and pretty soon I'll be eating elephants with the best of them.

I bet they taste like chicken...
