Practical vs Optimal

Practical vs. Optimal

When I think of practical healthy habits, I think of things that are realistic and actually move the needle.
These habits are usually less flashy than a 20-step morning routine involving a ring light, homemade almond milk, organic matcha, juicing 20lbs of celery, and so on.
Don't get me wrong, if I didn't have 2 jobs and a life to show up for, I'd love to do a 20-step morning routine.
But, I live in the real world.
As I'm sure you do too;)
