I want a perfect life. What should i do?

It is very easy. In fact it is so easy that everyone knows it, but most of us are just afraid for the next step. Let's start with the obvious ones, what we eat, how we exercise. These two items are more than enough to change our life, if we choose to do it correctly.

What do you mean? I know what to do. It is my life. I am allowed to eat what i like. Excuses. All of those are just excuses. Do you? Are you? Come on. All you need is to summon all your self control, because it is your lack of restraint that got you in trouble, and change your bad habits with better ones. One year. That is all it takes.

Start with the food and drinks. So, to begin with, stop drinking fizzy drinks, change them with tea, cocoa, milk, or if you got unlimited will power, even with fresh natural juices from vegetables and fruits. Buy a juice extractor. And use it daily. You are too lazy to do it every day. Have a cup of herbal tea or cocoa. Even a cup of milk. Before you get asleep, the milk will help by providing tryptophan, the precursor of serotonin, the happiness hormone. Food now, as you know very well, fast food is bad, microwave food is bad, overcooked food is bad, extreme food is bad (too salty, too spicy, too bland, etc). Eat well in the morning. Cook it yourself. Buy fine superior ingredients. Eat slow, at the table, far away from the TV or phone. When you eat, just eat. It is a single task, as opposed to the multitasking life that is aggressively promoted today.

Exercise. Exercise is great. You will reach an advanced age, without the ageing problems most of the people complain about. You don't need to become a world class runner. All you need to do is to find something you like and do it 3 times a week. Yoga, Tai chi, a martial art, swimming, doesn't matter, as long as it is a moderate effort at least, and you do it 3 times a week.

Do this for one year. And i bet that everything in your life will improve. In some way that you cannot imagine.
