How to take vitamins
It made me
Healthy!
 "Taking vitamins every day seemed like a lofty goal, but it has turned out to be the most valuable 30 seconds of my day."
How I did it: Doing anything every day seems daunting to me, for some reason. I've always hated swallowing pills, so the prospect of doing it every day of my life didn't seem to be worth it. However, I found some that weren't that gross (through trail and error) and I had to change my viewpoint on it. It literally is only 30 seconds of discomfort. Would you spare 30 seconds of discomfort for 23:59:30 of feeling better? I had always been a person who "felt crappy" more often than I actually "felt good." After only 1 month of giving my body the extra nutrients it needed, that started to shift. The most noticeable difference was that my acne cleared up.That was the clincher for me. Every day when I'm leaving the house and I'm thinking "Did I forget anything?" I make sure that taking my vitamins isn't something I forgot. It's not worth the acne or the constant lethargy or the "feeling crappy" to be 30 seconds earlier to wherever I'm going. Lessons & tips: Anytime you think, "Oh I'll just skip it today," just think, "Is it worth it?" What time would you actually be saving by skipping it? Is gaining that amount of time back worth feeling how you did before, feeling whatever it was that made you want to start taking vitamins in the first place? And don't fall into the "It's just this once" trap! That simply has to be a choice. Do not let that sentence enter your head, because once you let it be ok to skip, it won't be just once. It will be more and more frequent and the effects of the vitamins will be more and more scarce. Resources: What I actually take is Glacial Milk. It's an antioxidant blend juice thing that I take a 1 oz. shot of every day. I think it tastes good, but that's subjective.

It made me
hopeful!
How I did it: I have problems taking vitamins (and medications too) on two fronts: 1) I have problems remembering; and 2) I have a delicate stomach and often get nervous about timing --so I would often put off taking my vitamins because I'd be nervous about my stomach, and then I'd forget altogether. I'm currently taking 14 vitamins. I know it sounds like a lot, but they're all for different ailments, and a few of the vitamins require multiple pills… Read how I did it…

It made me
So pretty
How I did it: When I found out I was pregnant I immediately started taking prenatal vitamins. It was a little rough at first, I guess they were too strong for me or something, plus I had bad morning sickness. I never took vitamins before that either but I think I will now. Anyways, after about 2 months of my skin breaking out and going crazy it finally started to work out. My skin is amazing now, I never break out and haven't had to use a "facial clean… Read how I did it…

Well. I added this to go along with my “eat less meat” goal. If I’m going to be eating less meat, I don’t want to risk getting ill because I’m not taking in the right things!

Doin awesome. I’m taking Ginkgo, B complex, and a multi-vitamin. I’ve also been taking Echinacea but I heard you should only take that when you’re sick. For now I’m still taking it but I’m going to do some research.
