How to maintain a healthy diet
A whole lot of studies show people who make new year resolutions fail to stick to them eventually (over 64 %), some after the first week of January.

Positive thinking is a great help in resolutions, but too much of it can backfire.

You can get creative on your resolution by thinking differently, like instead of treating the goal as an alien concept that you desire, try imagining it as something that was yours, which you have now lost it, and your actions are to reclaim it now.

Do not treat yourself badly if you miss your goal. It is not easy to form new habits.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
