Good Choices Good Information
Managing your health is a challenge that is determined by your daily choices.

The Health Institute in Washington, D.C. affirms that behavioral change is related to a person’s view of risk, benefit, and opportunity. Will Schutz, Ph.D., in his book Profound Simplicity, states that to make lasting decisions, you must become more aware of your options and their consequences. Be honest and ask yourself:


  • Do I really want to change?
  • Why is this change so important to me now?
  • Do I understand the benefits of healthy choices?
  • Do I recognize the risks of not making those choices?

An important factor in making wise decisions is good information. The more you read and understand about your health, the more likely your willingness to change.

Sometimes knowledge is not enough, nor is sheer willpower.  How often have you made New Year’s resolutions that fizzle and die within weeks? David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., of Yale School of Medicine, states that there has to be “a reasonable way as well.” In other words, if the difficulty in making any changes outweighs your motivation, you will not alter your behavior. (We’ve all heard stories about people not using their health club memberships because the gym is all the way across town.)

Choice is the foundation of a balanced, healthy life. The other seven CREATION Health principles work only when we fully embrace our gift of choice and use it in cooperation with God’s guidance.

Right now you can start taking positive steps to turn your life around physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally and begin enjoying the life for which God created you. Embark upon a journey that will take you to a better place than you have ever imagined.
