To obtain health in all areas of our lives is a huge undertaking. Not because we are lazy or don’t care. But because this world we live in has made it too easy for us to become unhealthy and stay that way. The environment, what we breathe, eat, and even watch and hear, can all confuse and pollute of bodies.
I have been trying for years to become healthier. I am quite a bit overweight and have recently have just been diagnosed with cancer. Well, what a wake up call that was! But it wasn’t that I wasn’t trying before. I was! I’m a nurse, I read a lot, joined online health challenges, joined exercise groups and the gym, bought healthy foods. I had many small successes. But it just was so difficult to keep it going!
So I started changing just one thing at a time. I would master that change and then move on to another change. Slowly I began to see my life changing for the better. One small change at a time was what I discovered really worked!
So my BEST suggestion to begin or begin again is to Start Small. Start with trying to change one small habit. Most of us try the all or nothing principal. That just sets us up to fail. Pick one thing you can change to better your health and do it! For one week, then two, and just don’t stop! Like more water each day, or an extra piece of fruit or vegetable daily, walk for 15 minutes, or a daily quiet time. Pick one new healthy recipe per week, shop for it and make it! Stick with you one small change until you’ve mastered it before adding another small change. Think about it…. no of us became unhealthy overnight. It probably was a process over time. So it is going to take time to undo our unhealthful ways and create new healthy ways of doing life. But I am here to tell you that it can be done!
Stick with me and I will take you on my journey towards health! And I mean in every aspect of your life! I am finding great joy in my journey as well. This is just the beginning of what can be a health fulfilling life! Let’s do this together!
