Be Consistent
It's all about consistency. Whatever you do consistently will make a big difference in your life and your health and whatever you do inconsistently or sporadically will either make a small difference or no difference at all in your life.
Do Healthy Things Consistently and Unhealthy Things Occaisonally
When making healthy changes: to your diet, exercising, or taking a supplement, be consistent. On again, off again usually doesn't cut it.
And if you do something that is unhealthful (to a certain extent of course, certain things can be harmful the first time out) occasionally, and the rest of the time have healthful habits, you will probably be okay.
Give New Treatments/Therapies a Chance
When trying out a new therapy or treatment, going 3 times is usually a good rule to follow: if after 3 visits you feel no improvement or still don't like the treatment/therapy/therapist, consider discontinuing.
Don't Be So Quick To Try and Find the Next Best Thing
One of the worst things you can do when trying to improve your health is to jump around from person to person, treatment to treatment and supplement to supplement. Usually this produces little to no results at all because nothing has been given the chance to work. Remember, good changes happen slowly. And the good old cliche, Easy come, easy go applies here. Things that change quickly for the better often change quickly for the worse as well; improvement is short-lived and not what you are most likely looking for.
