And it's not a failure to have a condition like high blood pressure. Some things are beyond your control. And for the things that you have some control over, if you don't think you've been doing well at addressing them, put the past behind you and start fresh. Don't forget that you're already doing some good things, like exercising regularly and avoiding some bad habits. Just identify some things that you can change and start changing them, one at a time, small manageable steps.

Good luck!
