What's the most important thing or change you've learned/made in the past 5 years.

For me it has to be that vegetarian based meals are not inferior to meat based dishes. I find myself preparing and trying so many interesting and great dishes that I would've never considered 10 years ago.

How about you?

Yeah this is definitely a good mentality to become a better person. I'm still struggling a bit with wanting to do everything perfectly, which causes me to stop doing it. But I've started getting more success with just telling myself they "anything is better than nothing".

I used to not really do any sports and eat whatever I felt like. In the past few years I've started turning it around by picking up running and trying to eat better. If I would've expected perfection in either of those, I would've quit within a month. But by being proud of every good decision I make, however small it is, I managed to keep it going and changed my health for the better.
