Over the past few weeks, I have spoken with several ladies about their health and fitness goals. Many have asked how to start a new healthy lifestyle and stay consistent over the Winter. After many discussions, I could sum up my conversations with these 4- S-words.
Search-Think about what activities you enjoy. Search for the correct path for you. This requires that you reflect on your goals. Take a few moments to experiment with new activities. Read about health and fitness activities. Do your research.
Start-Once you define your goal or identify the habit you would like to change, then start. Just start. You don't have to have everything figured out, but you do have to start. Once you start participating in your new healthy habit, you can make modifications along the way. The start is usually what stops most people. This leads to the next S-words, scared.
Scared-Try not to be scared. It is normal to feel afraid when starting a new activity or changing a habit. Don't let that fear stop you. Use it to energize and challenge you in a new and different way.
Set a deadline- Do you have a time frame? Are you willing to work on your healthy habit for 30 days, 60 days or 90 days? Did you sign up for a race or take a health challenge? Setting a goal date helps you focus your energy toward your goal and prioritize.
Remember to search your heart and mind. Find what is best for you. Make friends with fear. It's ok to be scared. Set that deadline and use it keep you focused. A healthy is a journey NOT a destination.
It's all about the journey.
