The New You
Achieving Positive Lifestyle Changes
Why do so many dieters fail to achieve their goals? Could it be they set themselves up for failure with unobtainable goals? Like many during a new year’s resolution, you’ve probably made ambitious plans for positive change. We want to help you make it stick this time.
You may be thinking, “I’ve been unsuccessful at losing weight in the past. Why should now be any different?” The key lies in gradually adjusting your way of life.
This time, you’ll learn and welcome the mind-set of making smart decisions about eating, exercise and supplementation. You’ll learn to make small changes that lead to a healthy lifestyle, instead of another on-again/off-again dieting nightmare.
The 3 Rs of a Healthy Lifestyle
To adjust your lifestyle, focus on three simple, yet equally important steps:
Renew your commitment to a healthy lifestyle by eating nutritious, high-fiber, low glycemic meals. (Don’t forget portion management and a Core 4 family of vital wellness nutrient supplements that has worked for others in my practice. Please email me for more information at pluswellness4women@gmail.com.
Refresh your lungs and body with exercise or any enjoyable activity that does not include a couch, chips, soft drinks or your favorite soap opera.
Recharge – That’s right: REST! Give your body the time off it needs, or the weight will not budge. (Not limited to simply lounging, recharging can include meditation, yoga, massage – whatever restores you!)
Make it Manageable
Start small. Incorporate just one small, but positive, lifestyle change into each of your 3 Rs. Once you’re comfortable with that one, add another and so on. For example:
Renew – Add one vegetable to each meal.
Refresh – Get up early and work out occasionally.
Recharge – Go to bed an hour earlier.
Take Baby Steps
If you were going to run a distance of 10K, you wouldn’t begin training by attempting four miles. You might start jogging for a couple of minutes and then walking for five more. Similarly, it’s important to keep a “slow and steady” approach when altering your lifestyle to ensure results.
This kind of smart, manageable plan helps you avoid an “impossible goal” and leads to your eventual success. (learn more about easing into exercise on Exercise and Activity - Start at the Beginning in another newsletter.)
Envision the Benefits
As you begin your 3-R lifestyle changes, pay attention to the results. After just a few short weeks, you will probably notice that you enjoy life more, have more energy and vitality, and feel less stressed.
Enlist Support
New routines can be fragile and may even disappear if you don’t protect them. Surround yourself with support where possible so that your new lifestyle will not be sabotaged by spontaneous impulses and old habits.
By consistently incorporating small changes in your daily eating, exercise and supplementation habits – and embracing your healthier way of life – you’ll soon shed those extra pounds and feel better than ever!
