• First and foremost, we should all understand WHY you chose that goal and WHY you want to make this habit change. People don't buy into WHAT, they buy into WHY - the purpose behind the action.
• When making a habit change, do not try to quit cold turkey and quit everything you've been doing all at once - that's how we become frustrated and quit. It is a slow process, fade out old habits and implement new habits one by one.
• Find the good in every day. It sounds so simple, but when you look at the good in an outcome (maybe you feel better, maybe you had better interactions with peers, etc.), it may help you to continue to be disciplined towards achieving those goals.
• The average U.S. citizen has around 240 nutritional choices PER DAY. If you make a poor choice, its only one choice. You have 239 more opportunities to make a better choice. Do not get hung up on just one poor decision.
• Do not let food rule your life. Our goal is to live a quality life and part of that is our mental well-being and happiness. We can focus on making healthy, smart choices every day, but if it makes your happy, there is no reason that you cannot enjoy a sweet or your favorite treat every once in awhile.
• Regardless of where we are in life's journey, we all can ALWAYS make better decisions. It is the small ones that add up, like choosing 60 minutes of physical activity, at least 8 hours of sleep and choosing quality, real food.
• Keep in mind, you are doing this for YOU. Unfortunately, the support for your goals may not always be there but when you feel the difference in yourself when you start working towards and achieving your goals.
• With Holidays... do NOT let food rule you. As long as we stay on our routine of being active and make protein, fruits and veggies a big part of our meals, its okay to have a little sweet or cheat treat!
