What are your health and fitness goals? How do your choices align with those goals?

You choose:
- What to think
- What to do
- What to say
- Where to work
- How to work
- What to study
- What to read + watch
- The relationships you’re in

You use:
- Time
- Attention
- Energy

If you don’t like where things stand, look no further than what you choose and use.
