  You’re lucky in that healthy living comes naturally to you. You subscribe to the best resources and are always on the cutting edge of the latest trendy superfoods and workouts. If a doctor or expert gives you a piece of advice, you have no problem implementing it and taking new habits for a test drive. Sometimes when you’re not in control of your surroundings or are subjected to someone else's eating habits, you worry about how imperfect circumstances will affect your long-term health. But you can trust in your ability to make up for it tomorrow.

  THE HEALTHY HEDONIST

  You’re on an on-going journey to understand your body and how you can serve each other better. In seeking balance, you know that you don’t need to do all of the wellness things, all the time. Rather, your goal is to build a self-care toolkit so you can match the right practice with each circumstance that comes your way. That’s not to say that this life of moderation is always easy. Some days involve less kale than others, but your advantage as a healthy hedonist is knowing that the worst thing you can do is stress about them.

  THE QUICK FIXER

  When it comes to turning over a new leaf overnight, you’re an all-star, so long as there are parameters, rules and accountability. You excel at short-term sprints like taking on an elimination diet, training for a marathon, or participating in an online health challenge. As a quick fixer, you’ve probably experienced impressive health transformations over the years from various diets and projects. The key is learning how to maintain them and not swinging to the other side of the pendulum the second the finish line is crossed.

  THE PLEASURE SEEKER

  You’re a hedonist, straight up! And make no apologies about it. You may not be one to subscribe to the cult of wellness, but you know more about healthy living than you give yourself credit for. The benefits of being a pleasure seeker, besides a guilt-free attitude, is that you can genuinely stick to new habits that feel like fun. If you find a kale-packed dinner that is delicious, you are in. Self-care for you really feels like self-care. There’s no to-do listing or worrying about the scientific impact of your choices. You grab life by the balls, ice cream and all, and let the good times roll.
