Enrich Your Lifestyle
Most of us 'know what to do' to improve our Lifestyle, but we have a super hard time implementing these actions!
So how do you actually make a shift? Start with the low hanging fruit and build momentum as you transform your Diet and Physical Activity!
Choose a couple of the habits below and experiment with them for at least 30 days before saying they don't work. Some won't stick, but some will make ALL the difference!
First - A Thought on Behaviour Change
When we set out to change our habits, we tend to set our goals and expectations unreasonably high, setting ourselves up to fail in the process. Instead of being attached to the goal, be committed to consistent actions that will take you to your goal. Focus on the journey and let the destination take care of itself.
How do you do this? Determine how much time could you realistically spare for your new habits each week. It may only be 5 minutes a day, or one 30 minute block. Whatever it is, make this the absolute minimum time commitment to developing this habit every week! And if the time you chose initially is too much, then revise and commit less time.
Whatever time you do commit to, it wants to feel totally manageable and achievable. If you do more you'll feel MORE successful and accomplished, view it as a bonus! The alternative is trying for too much, and feeling like a failure because you can't meet this the majority of the time. And give yourself a break, 5 days a week of a 'daily' habit will still make a huge difference in your life!

Why do you need to start TODAY?
I'm sure you KNOW that eating well and moving more is a good idea. You've probably tried to do this at least a handful of times over the years! But why is it so important?
What you eat is the building blocks for growing and maintaining your body. Without the right fuel, how can you expect your engine (ie your body) to run well?
A poor diet leaves you at risk to disease, infection, fatigue, and low performance. Eating a nutritious balanced diet will protect your against obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and more.
If exercise were in a pill, it would fly off the shelves the benefits are so good! It helps prevent or manage nearly ALL conditions and diseases. It improves your mood, promotes sleep, protects your brain function, and it can be FUN!
So start working out what habits are the best fit for you, learn how to make them stick and finally get your LIFESTYLE on track! You need this to be as productive and successful as you want to be!
What do you need to know?
Bouncing between diets is a losing game (you probably know this already). Instead, identify and stick to healthy eating principles - like eating vege with every meal.
Your emotions can also become entangled with your eating at times. Your poor diet may be the symptom not the core issue. Be honest (and gentle) with yourself, and see if there is anything emotional to be resolved. Address this and your diet may improve naturally.
As for activity, maybe you've bought a gym membership thinking that will solve your problems, but all you got was an expensive keyring as the dust collects on your gym gear..
Work out your preferences for physical activity. Do you like to exercise - Outside or inside? Alone or with others? Structured or unstructured? Knowing this will boost your activity, because you'll be doing something you want to do!
Just remember, any previous attempt at changing your diet and exercise doesn't predict your ability to change things in the future. Learn from them, and try try again.
