A-ttitude. Don’t look at your health as a chore but rather as a privilege.
B-elieve in yourself. The only limitations in life are those that we place on ourselves.
C-ommit to change.
D-on’t wish you could be someone else. For all you know, they’re unhappy too.
E-ducate yourself. There are a lot of misleading “healthy” products and programs out there. Be wary of anything that promises a quick fix with minimal time or effort.
F-ind support. Whether it’s online, down the street or in the next room, a support system is key to helping you stay on track.
G-oals keep you motivated. Public goals keep you accountable.
H-ave patience. Change isn’t going to happen overnight but it will happen if you’re consistent and committed.
I-nspire others. How many times have we heard the saying “if I can do it, anyone can”. Be that example.
J-ust do it. Leave the excuses at the door and move. You’ll be glad you did.
K-eep it fresh. Change your workouts every few weeks to keep your body guessing and your mind interested.
L-earn from your mistakes, don’t dwell on them.
M-indful eating. If you can’t read or identify the ingredients on the package, you probably don’t want it in your body.
N-ever, ever give up.
O-pen your mind to new things. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll fall in love with.
P-ay it forward. Take what you’ve learned (good AND bad) and use it to help others who are starting their healthy living journey.
Q-uiet time. A few minutes of solitude every day is essential for focus, concentration and stress relief.
R-azzle your Dazzle. Every day. Always
S-chedule your workouts as you would an appointment. Block that time out and prioritize it.
T-rain your mind. Healthy living is as much a mental battle as it is a physical one.
U-nite your body, spirit and mind.
V-ary your intensity. Combine high intensity days with low intensity days to keep your body moving without over-stressing it.
W-ater is essential. Be sure to stay well hydrated, especially in the heat.
X-terminate all negative self-talk. It has no place in your mind or your mouth.
Y-ou are stronger than you think and more beautiful than you know.
Z-zzzz. Be sure to get enough every night
Fantastic!
Great list Steph! My particular favourite is Y – I tell my girls that every.single.day.
Awesome list! My favorite is Razzle your Dazzle! Trying to fit that in with laundry and carpool as we speak
These are all such great reminders! I like B and Y… positive messages!
Oh my! I love ALL of them!
Learn from your mistakes….
Quiet time….
ZZZZZZZZZ (good night sunshine)
