Practice Makes Permanent

One of the Core Values here at Valeo is: Practice Makes Permanent.

We know that getting healthy habits to stick takes intention and consistency, so we cultivate a perspective of practice, like an athlete practices for his or her game.

Practicing is really the essence of fitness, nutrition and well, life…

  • To get strong in the deadlift, you have to practice deadlifting – often.

  • To eat more healthfully, you have to practice choosing healthy alternatives – often.

  • Just like to be a better writer, you have to practice writing – often.

  • To successfully fix the inner workings of a car, you have to practice mechanical skills – often.

  • To be an active listener, you have to practice engaging in others – often.

Choosing a perspective of ‘practice’ softens the idea that you have to “get it” perfectly and right away. 

‘Cause perfection isn’t required for progress or for making healthy habits permanent…but practice is.

Keep practicing!
