Well, the day is finally here. Today is election day, here in the U.S., and all of the world is watching. The lines at the polls are long, and filled with a record-breaking voter turnout. Why are so many Americans exercising their right to vote, during this important election, compared to others in the past?

It’s simple, most Americans are tired of the same old thing, which is no longer working for most of them. They are tired of sitting by and watching the same old thing that has not worked in years, and hope that a better outcome will happen. In other words, Americans have realized it’s time to stop the insanity. If a method does not work, do the opposite, right?

Your health is no different. However, I will get to that in a second. Both presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, as well as other political figures up for election, have stuck by this promise of “change.” One candidate even touts he will bring a “Change We Can Believe In.”

If all goes well, by the end of the night, we will know what changes Americans believe they have made for the better of their country. However, on a smaller scale (no pun intended), what about making a more intimate change for the better for yourself?

Once the election madness is over, how will you decide on what changes to make to be healthier, stronger, more active? Beginning today, will you elect to “change” the following:

- Adding at least 20-30 minutes of physical activity to your day and less TV
- Eat more natural, whole foods and less processed foods
- Spend more time at the dinner table & less in the drive-thru
- Drink more filtered water and less coffee
- Drink less sugary soda and fruit juices
- Eat more organic and fresh fruit and less candy
- Eat more nuts and less potato chips
- Stress less and relax more
- Listen more and talk less
- Walk more and drive less
- Love more instead of tolerating less

Or will you continue to do the same thing you have been doing, and unsuccessfully expect a different outcome?

Please share in the comments section below, how, today, you will elect (for yourself), “A Change You Can Stick To!”
