Start fresh by visualizing and creating your success.
I know that’s not as easy as it sounds. Most people have tried to diet or make healthier choices using information they’ve found on the Internet, heard from friends or picked up at a health food store, and just about everybody has failed at some point.
So, when people start to make a change, they often struggle with feelings of failure, frustration, skepticism and doubt. That’s a rocky foundation to build upon.
Instead, set yourself up to succeed by planning the week ahead. Select just one thing each day that you can do for your health – and then do it. In the days that follow, we’ll suggest some things you can try at home that are simple, practical and designed to help you build a track record of successes that will put you on the path to permanent change.
Start your One-Week Wellness Plan on the right foot:
Start on the weekend when you have more time for self-care, and begin by doing some planning.
Prepare something small to do each day, whether it’s clearing some floor space at home for stretching exercises, or shopping for healthy food that you can prepare easily during the week.
Meditate, write in a journal or close your eyes and visualize putting your plan into action.
When you're done with your planning, take a long walk.
