The
new year brings a lot of people looking for a change in their lives,
but you don't necessarily need a resolution to improve your life. If you
want to make a change and experience a better life for yourself, then
you need to be ready. When you're ready to embrace the change, you'll
find it much easier to stay motivated. If you need some help, here are
four tips to keep you motivated.
Keep A Schedule
One
of the first problems people encounter during a lifestyle change is
remembering that you are making a change. Plan ahead of time so that you
don't make excuses for yourself. Prepping some healthy freezer meals
ahead of time will prevent you from resorting to fast food after a long
day. Keep a routine so you can keep track. Don't be afraid to start slow
either. Healthe Trim recommends
3 times a week for 20-30 minutes if you're starting at a low fitness
level. You can always adjust your schedule to accommodate more activity
later.
Do It For Your Family
Think
of everyone who is affected by your unhealthy choices from the past.
That candy bar seemed pretty innocent when it was just your snack, but
it's also the reason you don't have the energy to chase your children
around the yard or spend a family outing hiking in a national park. Not
only do unhealthy choices prohibit you from fully enjoying your family
but you are also setting a poor example for your children. It's
important to lead by example so that your kids can make healthy choices as
well. Slice up veggies and fruit ahead of time and you and the kids
will be more likely to reach for that instead of potato chips.
Social Media Has Perks
Fill
your life with things that inspire you, and that includes your social
media boards. Follow individuals and businesses that encourage you
through positive messages, their own experiences, and healthy recipes or
activities you can participate in. For example, on Twitter Healthe Trim shares
everything from fitness products, healthy food options, and even just
the occasional video to make you laugh. Find what works for you -
whether it's Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, or blogs.
Keep It Friendly
Don't
let real life be any different than social media. Find like-minded
friends who can join you at the gym or a healthy cooking class to keep
you on your game. Check in with them throughout the week with words of
encouragement or even a friendly competition.
It doesn't have to be about who shed more pounds. Little victories
like, "I went the whole day without any added sugar! What about you?",
could help you all stay on track during your endeavor.
Change
isn't easy but it can be for the best. If you can stick to your new
lifestyle you're bound to see a vast improvement in your overall life.
Create a support net that inspires you to stay on track and you'll find
that you may one day be the person who inspires others.
