5. Helpful hints to figuring out what your why is:
– Think about and write down your core values
– Make a list of your passions. What keeps you motivated and excited?
– Make a list of your short-term and long-term goals
Also check out the book Find Your Why by Simon Sinek:
Beginning a plant-based, whole-food lifestyle is not about putting a name or label to it, or restricting certain foods and not others. What it is about is maintaining overall good health and well-being. Though you are embarking on a food journey, you may be surprised how much you actually discover about yourself along the way as well.
Stay weird and well my earthling friends!
