Set a Goal

Do you want more energy? Would you like to look a little healthier? Lose a few pounds? Tone up your body?
Whatever you desire - in terms of better health - can happen if you make a plan and start taking action! Any action.

Look at where you are right now and decide what you want to change. 

Start with a plan to create better habits. Write your goal - and your plan on paper. Some people have found keeping a journal helpful. Whatever form you decide on - write down your goals and the plan to achieve them. Decide and write down the specific steps you need to take. 

Then start taking action - immediately!

Aim high - shoot for the moon. If you miss, at least you'll be better off than you were before you started. Who cares about being perfect? Write down the change you want to make, profess it to a willing partner in crime, and see what happens.

Make small, manageable changes in your daily diet and exercise habits. Realistic changes that you can do now. Don’t commit to an unrealistic exercise plan; just do what you truly know you can do, like walking 20 minutes every day at lunch, or even three days a week. Include more vegetables and fruits in your daily diet. Cut back on refined sugars, soda and junk food. Small changes practiced daily will lead to big results!

If you slip and miss a day or cheat a little, don't give up. Simply decide to do better tomorrow or the next day. At the end of a week, or a month, measure your progress. 

Rethink your plan. 

What's working?

And what isn't?

Change your action plan accordingly. Then set out on taking even more action! You will gradually see improvement if you stick to your plan!

We can achieve great success in our quest for just about anything if we just keep chipping away at our goals.
