Change. Most of us do not embrace it as it means leaving our comfort zone.
Small changes over time lead to large results. When you make one small change you will feel the results and you’ll be inspired to make more changes! Don’t you find that when you work out you don’t crave junk food as much? It may be because your body is becoming healthier and doesn’t want junk food in it or it may be that you don’t want to sabotage your hard work!
Many experts suggest that a slow and steady route to health is reflected in long-term results. For instance, you may start by walking 5 minutes a day and add 3 minutes to each walk…you’ll be up to one hour walks in no time at all!
If you cut out one soda per day, you would cut 200 calories per day which would significantly cut your chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Again…such a small change which can have a huge impact on your life!
If you cut 150 calories per day for a year, you would lose 15 lbs in that year! Wow! A simple 30 minute walk would burn 150 calories to put things in perspective. That may just be talking the stairs at work instead of the elevator…!
A good tip is to write down 3 successes per day. This helps us to focus on the positive and we will be motivated to continue. Sometimes we are very hard on ourselves and forget our successes and concentrate on the days we didn’t achieve what we asset out to do…we can be our worst critic! Be kind to yourself. Look at your list of successes when you find you are down on yourself for not pulling through.
Here are some small and simple steps to get you going with change that will help you with your healthy lifestyle journey:
1. Decide what motivates you. Small steps are easy when you know why you are doing them!
2. Notice how your success spills over into other areas of your life. For example, you may experience weight loss which leads to higher self-esteem which provides us with confidence to achieve other small goals. You can see how this is all becomes a fantastic cycle…each small success affects all areas of our lives!
3. Choose one step to get started. If you want to make a healthy lifestyle change in order to lose weight faster, try doing one thing such as cutting out soda pop or cutting out fried food from your diet.
Why not think of one small change you can do starting today? You will be richly rewarded in the long run with your new healthy lifestyle.
To your health,
