Are you considering making changes to improve your health? Good health occurs over time through proper nutrition, routine exercise, adequate rest, and avoiding substances harmful to your body. Good health brings a quality of life that poor health strips away.
Start Crawling: A good first step is to set a goal for yourself. The goal should be crystal clear. It should be specific and it should be measurable. Avoid setting goals that start you off on a sprint when you haven't learned to crawl yet. This is why New Year's resolutions often fail. A basic life principle is to crawl, walk and then run, so when you fall, and we all fall, you know how to get back up again. New Years resolutions often go from crawl to sprint. Just start crawling.
Specific, measurable, clear goals help us move forward and stay motivated. Simple changes are the key. An example of a simple change is to purchase skim milk instead of whole milk from now on. If you don't exercise, you could set a goal to walk one mile three times a week for a month. If you need to drink more water you could set a goal to drink 6-8 8 oz cups of water a day.
It is time to do something to take control of your health. Set a goal that will help you start crawling, then you will walk, then run. Do something now!
This is awesome, Dave! Looking forward to each new post!
ReplyDeleteYou speak the truth my friend...start crawling and you eliminate the bawling!
ReplyDeleteI Totally agree. I wanted to loss weigh in the blink of an eye, so I started by berly eating and workout like crazy. I was unaware of the harm I was doing to my body. After a couple of days I crashed, and realized I should have just taken it slowly. So I began to crawl again by making healthy food choices and doing comfortable workouts daily. Now after 4mothns I have lost 20lbs, and I feel great! We all want to get things done fast and easy, but we must realise that isnt always the best way to get things. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
