- Change your mindset – motivation and determination are two important mental aspects we need in order to change our habits. You have to decide what your lifestyle changes should be to improve your health, why you’ll benefit from changing, and what consequences you’ll endure if you don’t change and keep with the same habits.
- Find support – this is probably one of the most important steps. In order to stick with change you should have a support person, or even better, a support team. This may be a professional, a friend or spouse, or maybe a community social media group. The whole point of support is to keep you focused, accountable and help you through roadblocks you’ll encounter. If you’re looking to especially change your eating habits, we can be that support person to you! Book an appointment with one of our Registered Dietitians today.
- Decide what behavior are you trying to change? What is your timeline? What micro-steps are necessary to make that “big change.” Laying this all out will help you set a solid foundation to sustain the health changes you wish to make.
If you follow these steps, there’s a high likelihood that you’ll experience sustainable health change. Health and wellness can be an ebb and flow but using these steps as a starting point can help you maintain progress to over all well-being.
