Tips Toward Changing Unhealthy Behaviors!

A lot of people use the beginning of a new year as a time to work on changing unhealthy habits into healthy ones.

Here are some helpful tips:

First of all- get outside and get fresh air and sunshine a few minutes a day......preferably moving your body! This will help you feel better mentally and physically!

Think physical activity rather than exercise!

There are many benefits of movement....  including a healthy heart and brain.

Make a list of behaviors/ things/ situations, etc. that you would like to change in your life... and why.

Then make a list of ways that you can make these positive changes. 

Then break down the list into tiny steps toward what you would like to do/ change.

TAKE ACTION AND DO STEP ONE!

Reward yourself with something little for doing the first step. Make the reward appropriate. 

(You do not want to reward yourself with any unhealthy reward).

Example- if your are trying to getting more fit and / or eat healthier- do not reward yourself with junk food!  

Happy Healthy Habits!
