When you have made the decision to incorporate healthier habits into your daily life, it can be a bit overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, a quick internet search will yield thousands upon thousands of suggestions. If you\u2019re feeling a bit overwhelmed, know that you are not alone and we are here to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first question always is, or should be, is where to start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An easy place to begin your new lifestyle is to look at where you're currently sitting, and where you eventually want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You start this with running over your day to day life with a fine tooth comb and making small changes. Most people are creatures of habit, so this may not be the most comfortable task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it\u2019s a good idea to address your problem areas first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you're somewhat of a sedentary person then you'll definitely want to start exercising. But you can\u2019t just go from being a couch potato to hitting the gym for an hour every day. Your body just isn\u2019t used to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only will you have to gradually incorporate physical activity into your life, you\u2019ll also have to address the pink elephant in the room: why haven't I been exercising all along?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find out your reasons and change them, whether you commit to waking up earlier or cut back on your evening couch time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or perhaps one of your problem areas has to do with nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019re not alone! So many of us love to pull out our smartphones and get food delivered. A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But while it's fine to treat yourself from time to time, it's not something that you should do every day. So, ask yourself, why am I always getting food delivered?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it for the convenience or the taste? If you just love certain food, then search for healthy ways to make it at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if you're doing it more for the convenience, then join the many people who are all about food prep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you work outside of the home, then chances are good that you have a vending machine full of sugary and high-fat snacks, and that\u2019s a recipe for disaster when those mid-morning and late-afternoon hunger pangs kick in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we get hungry, we tend to eat with our eyes first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vow to prepare your snacks for the week and bring them in, making sure you don't get that three o'clock candy bar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
