4 STEPS to looking better, feeling better and living a healthier life

4 STEPS to looking better, feeling better and living a healthier life

“Keep it simple stupid”!  I have learned over the years that everything we do must make sense, and must be easy to understand.  My objective is to make your health practice easier for you, not more complex!  Here it is, read, ponder and apply…

1. It’s Just a “PRACTICE” - Be Patient!

Wether it’s healthy living, or riding a bike, practice is the only way to get better.  Very often we want to have everything NOW, but things take some time to develop.  First we fall, then we wobble, then we ride.  It’s simple, but we forget that this principal relates to all things.  Be patient with your self and create your “HEALTH PRACTICE” one step at a time. The most successful people simply make small consistent steps toward their desired result.

2. Do it for the “LOVE”

Do you remember your first bicycle?  I do, I was so exited I wanted to start making jumps out of scrap wood just like my older brothers did.  The thought of “flying” off a jump in the air on my bike was intense, and the love of that desired feeling was all the juice I needed to be diligent and “PRACTICE” every day.  At first I fell a few times, and hurt myself.  But after a few weeks I was hitting the back break leaving skid marks on the sidewalk!  Practice the feeling of being healthy!  The more you can feel good about your health the “EASIER” it is to draw more well being into your life!

3. Create “SIMPLE” systems

The internet wasn’t created over night.  The concept is just a system that is constantly being refined to be more efficient.  Your health practice needs systems in place to make it “EASIER” for you to manage.  For example, cooking 6 healthy meals every day is nearly impossible unless you are a part time chef with too much time? Not likely.  However, you can cook one big healthy meal and portion out the the other 5 meals in tupperware, ready to be eaten at your convenience.  Create the “SIMPLE” systems that will facilitate your health practice. Keep it super easy and refine your program as you get better.

4. “DON’T WAIT” for next week

Don’t make your health practice a chore!  Procrastination is just extra weight on your shoulders.  All you have to do is start! Once you start you will love the good healthy feelings you get, and then you will crave more, just take the first step! What is the first step?  It could be a 15 min jog on the beach after work, or buying some healthy groceries and cooking a great meal.  The point is that you have taken the first step toward creating some better lifestyle habits.
