Things you should eliminate from your life to be healthier in 2017

The beginning of a new year is a great time to get rid of everything that has been a drag over the past 12 months. Can't you think of anything? In this list of things that you should eliminate from your life to be healthier, you may find some with which you feel identified.

Being too hard on yourself: The more you reprimand yourself, the more difficult your year will be. Self-criticism is fine, as it helps us to progress, but also try to see what you have done well. Include praise in your internal monologues to stop being your worst enemy.

Obsessing over weight: Don't let a number on a scale dominate your life, or you'll be demotivated if results are slow to arrive. Weigh yourself less and measure your progress in sensations instead of decimal points. Be satisfied with how hard you are working to get fitter every day, regardless of what the scale reads.

Sick perfectionism: Striving to achieve a goal is a wonderful thing, but when it becomes perfectionism, it is not healthy. Unrealistic or outright unattainable goals can undermine people's physical and mental health. Focus that energy on progressing without expecting perfection, and your year will be so much better.

Count caloriesObsessing over calories is something you should definitely erase from your life next year, especially if it has created a negative relationship with food for you. Stop seeing calories as the enemy, and look at them as the fuel the body needs for strong bones and muscles. If you need to keep track of what you eat, there are many other ways that do not involve counting calories.

Stress: If you suffer from clinical anxiety or have become overly stressed in 2016, now is the time to include relaxation and stress reduction in your New Year's resolutions. Eliminate stress from your life before your physical and mental health is compromised. Practice yoga, meditation, or make an appointment with a therapist ... whatever works for you.
