ENTER THE NEW DECADE HEALTHIER THAN THE LAST ONE!
Because the last two months of the year are typically when we make the worst decisions regarding our health. We eat more, drink more, and move less. If you don’t have a plan, you’ll reach for a bad coping mechanism. Start now: Drink more water, move your body 30 minutes a day, keep your nervous system working properly with your regular chiropractic adjustments, and stay positive. The best, biggest, and most important thing you need to implement is also the toughest to adopt. You can work out until you’re blue in the face and run 1,000 miles a week. None of it matters if you aren’t eating well. And sorry to go all tough-love on you, but this unfortunately doesn’t have an easy answer because eating healthy during the holiday season isn’t easy . It is, however, totally worth it . So stop making excuses and start choosing yourself and your health over your cravings! Last but not least, you’ve got to find your motivation. Maybe it’s the desire to run
When the new year begins, most people try to focus on everything they want to do. They want to start that new diet. They want to become a better mother. They want to travel more. They want to lose weight. But ... Imagine what it would be like to START your new year on the 20th floor instead of back down in the basement! Imagine how much momentum you’ll have. Imagine how much you’ll accelerate the vision you have for your life if you stay motivated during the time of year when most people are struggling. So, instead of waiting until January, why not start now? For people who are already proactive with their health, this idea makes sense. But what about those of you who’ve never considered this before? Here’s why it matters: Because the last two months tend to be the most stressful of the entire year, and if you don’t have a plan, you’ll resort to negative behavior.
around with your grandkids without getting winded. Maybe you want to get back out on the golf course with your buddies. Maybe you want to get in shape for a big event this year. Or maybe you’re just tired of having the same old resolution to lose weight year after year. Whatever your motivation, you’ve got to find it, focus on it, and wave it around like a flag. You’re going to need that motivation when you’re not feeling up for a trip to the gym or when faced with a plate of cookies at the office. You’ll need it when you backslide and eat half the Taco Bell menu or when you’re struggling not to use food as a coping mechanism when you’re stressed. You’re going to need it a lot, so you better darn well know what it is! Remember, if something is important enough, you’ll find a way; if it’s not, you’ll find an excuse . Start today — not tomorrow.
