Our environment plays a crucial role in every area of our lives. It’s important to remember this when it comes to your health as well. If you are in an unhealthy environment, you are more likely to participate in unhealthy things. Just as kids tend to act badly when they around other “bad” kids, the same rules would apply to you if you are in an unhealthy environment. Of course there are some exceptions to these rules, but why risk it.

In most cases we need to create all new habits or a new culture in our lives. It takes 21 days to build a habit and with that in mind you really need pay close attention to whats around you during that time. In my opinion, it’s comparable to someone trying to overcome any other kind of addiction such as alcohol or drugs. If you are recovering from some kind of an addiction, then it’s highly recommended by professionals to stay away from others who are participating in these activities.

Is your environment setting you up for failure or success?

Here are a few tips to help in creating your culture:

  1. Surround yourself around other Healthy People.
  2. Read positive and encouraging books.
  3. Read books about living healthy.
  4. Get a personal trainer
  5. Talk to other people that are walking the walk.
  6. Sign up for some Health related newsletters. ( and read them )
  7. Just say NO to fast food. Just because your friends or family are going to a fast food joint, doesn’t mean you have to go. Stay away from it.
  8. Get a Health Coach. A good coach can make a HUGE difference. Personal Trainers are good, but I’m talking about a coach to help you in the other areas of your life outside the gym.
  9. Visualize who you want to be.
  10. Keep a Health Journal. Record all the great things that you are doing for yourself. Celebrate (not with food or alcohol ) your successes!
  11. Cut off all communications from NON supportive people.

These are just some examples of how to create a culture for Ultimate Health! When you have a supportive culture, it’s much easier to keep a positive attitude towards achieving greater health.
