Time for Action – Just do… something!


We have a habit in America of looking for the “best” program, diet, workout plan, supplement, etc. We read books, look at the lives of celebrities we wish to emulate and watch TV shows, DVDs or U-Tube videos to find the "best" way. Too often that leads to confusion or is disheartening because it feels too hard. A little research is fine, but too much can be overwhelming. Now it’s time to put research into action and move forward with your goals. Action is motivating. Action means forward motion. Action gets you closer to your goal.

Success in anything is built step by step, day after day, week after week, over time – not overnight. Today let’s look at some simple steps to eat better, more healthful, nutrient dense foods. Choose My Plate has some great resources to get you started.

Start with one action – not ten. You don’t have to revamp your entire eating style to meet your goals. Start with one healthy action, and repeat it, again and again and again until this is the new normal, then add another action and repeat. Here are some healthy actions that may be a good starting point:
What idea stood out to you? What sounds like the best fit or something you want to try for yourself? Pick that one – that is the right step for you. If nothing sounded like the right step yet, then keep thinking. Sometimes thinking is the step you need to do first. Keep focusing on what you want and stay tuned to this blog as I will be writing more simple steps to well being. #HealthyLifestyle #EatWell #FruitsandVeggiesMoreMatters #goalsetting #motivation
