Taking care of yourself is practical because every plan you have requires you to be there.

Every plan you have made assumes your presence in it. The work, the relationships, the things you want to see and do in twenty years, all of them require a functioning you to be there. Framed that way, looking after yourself stops being a moral question or a matter of self-regard and becomes simple logistics for everything else you care about.

Take the plan you are most committed to and ask what it requires of your health over the next decade. Let that answer set one habit this week. Practicality tends to be more persuasive than virtue.
