The great news is the hardest part, as always, is getting started! Once you commit and start seeing the small victories from implementing healthier lifestyle habits you'll want to keep going! Here are a few steps you can take to begin:
1. Understand that YOU ARE WORTH IT. This is the biggest issues when it comes time to make a change for ourselves. We tend to feel like everything else is more important than our health. Although, we don't consciously have that thought our actions communicate that. The quality of the life we live is worth putting our health first.
2. Start with small things you can fully commit to, for example giving your body the hydration it needs in order to function properly. Also, going on walks or finding ways to be more active throughout the day. As you make those commitments you'll continue to make new ones and your health will keep improving.
3. Remember to take it one things at a time. You can't create a healthy habit over night. it takes time. Each day you work on it and slowly you will find you get better and better. Remain patient with yourself.
