Healthful and Happy in 2021
Have you ever set a goal and no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to reach it? Or perhaps you have been successful but can’t seem to sustain it?
Tips for Setting Yourself up for Success When Making Nutritional Changes:
Reflect on why you want/need this change
Start small. Choose something realistic, achievable and easier to fit in your schedule so you can sustain the change
Identify some of the potential barriers that may keep you from this change
Be patient with yourself--change takes time
Experiment--sometimes there is trial and error
Make it a positive experience by doing something you enjoy along with the change
Re-evaluate your reasons for the change and how the process is going. Notice what is going well and what could be improved
There can be strength in numbers. Involve others if this would add to making your change a more positive experience
Do you want to learn more about the steps of creating or improving upon a habit, what drives a habit and strategies that will set yourself up for success? No one likes burn out.
