There is no rush to be perfect, the only urgency is to get started!! The idea is to create a healthy practice to live by. You can do this by incrementally making positive choices and changes so that you’ll starting feel a little healthier each day. The process shouldn’t be extreme or punishing, find enjoyment in whatever you are doing that way you’ll be less likely to quit.
Self love: Think positive thoughts about thyself. What you believe, you become.
Be fit: For feeling and longevity, not just for looks
Be patient: With your body, quick fixes do not work long term!! They guarantee backlashes and disappointment.
Allow yourself: to have things you like in moderation. Deprivation ends in over indulgence.
Stop counting calories: Just be mindful and eat nutrient dense foods.
Don’t beat yourself up: for poor decisions, if you eat it enjoy it and move on.
Alcohol: Don’t over do it and hold off the sugary cocktails. If you do drink lighter, consume wine or lighter alcohols, like vodka at 60-70 calories per shot (the lighter it is the less sugar it contains). Avoid carbonated or juice mixers- they add up a lot faster.
The great outdoors: Connect with mother year round, there’s something so peaceful and magical about nature. Get grounded with outdoor activities like beach volleyball, basketball, hiking, water sports, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice-skating or hockey and tobogganing.
Sex: It relieves stress, helps you sleep better, increases self esteem, boosts immunity, increases mood, burns calories and it helps to increase intimacy between you and your partner. *Always practice safe sex*
Sleep: It assists the body in metabolizing food, especially carbohydrates, by stabilizing glucose and insulin levels. This prevents excessive storage of fat. Sleep is also when the body heals itself by renewing and rejuvenating.
