Time For Something New!

Resolving to try something for a week can soon turn into a lifestyle change you can sustain.

Starting on the path to better health can feel overwhelming. The thought of trying to make a big change in your diet, weight, or exercise may seem drastic or unrealistic – particularly if you try to tackle them all at once. But like any journey, all it takes to get going is just one step.

There is a lot of power in starting slow and small. The little changes add up. For example, if you go for a 10-minute walk, then the 10 minutes becomes easier, and maybe you’ll feel good about going for 15 minutes, then 20. You’ll enjoy it, and before you know it, without overwhelming yourself, you’ll feel better.

That’s a concept that won’t be as daunting as jumping into several major lifestyle changes simultaneously. But where to begin? Consider the following suggestions. Try one of them for a day or two, then a week. If you like it, keep going. Or try another suggestion on the list until something clicks for you. Just try one simple change, and see how easy it can be to get healthy.
