Your health is for life. It’s your greatest asset…
Following are tips to help you remember that your health is a life-long journey. Remember to keep things in perspective. Small, doable, sustainable changes are the keys to continued good health. It’s about progress rather than perfection.
1. Everything counts. Every time you make a healthy choice, it adds up. For example, each time you choose to walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Each time you drink pure water rather than soda. Each time you take a moment to slow down and pause. It all adds up.
2. You can always correct if you make a less-than-perfect choice. Know that there is a chance right after whatever you did, to make a better choice by simply correcting. The more you correct without judging or blaming yourself, the easier it becomes to continue to make good choices.
3. Find ways to reward yourself that are good for you. A massage is incredibly relaxing. Sharing a tea and walk with a friend is nurturing. Cutting up fresh, seasonal fruit is a wonderful treat. Being on vacation or completing a big project need not be triggers to let all of your best intentions disappear.
4. Do at least one incredibly pro-health thing every day. Replace a fresh green salad for your regular lunch. Eat breakfast. Drink more water. Skip that before bed bowl of ice cream. Park your car far away so you can walk. Skip the sugar in your coffee. Start with at least one thing a day. You may want to eventually shift to two, then perhaps three, and so on.
Eat well. Sleep well. Stress well. Move well.
