5 Steps to a Healthier You

Hey Everyone! What do most people say when you ask them what" their New Years Resolution is? "I'm going to start eating healthier!" "I'm going to exercise everyday!" "I'm going to be healthy!" Well, Day 1 goes pretty well, maybe even Day 2, but by Day 3, what New Year's Resolution?

I think the problem with New Year's Resolutions is that it kind of puts pressure on you to be a better person, and eventually, people just give up because it's too intimidating.

A lot of people say "Don't think of it as a resolution, of it as a lifestyle." I kind of agree with that, but I kind of don't, because you have to get used to it before it can become a lifestyle. So here are 5 steps to a healthier you!

1. Take something that you really like to do, like dancing or playing sports, and turn it into your daily form of exercise.

2. Music = Motivation- For some reason music really pumps people up, whether it's a pregame playlist or just random music playing through your ear buds while you're taking a walk. So use music to motivate you and pump you up while you exercising!

3. Instead of dieting, just eat healthier foods. Eating healthier is way better than dieting because you're not starving yourself, you're just eating foods that are good for you.

4. Fruits and Vegetables- One of the steps to a healthier you would have to be eating fruits and veggies! An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Eating veggies is also a must when trying to be healthier.

5. The last step to a healthier you is to stay positive, and reward yourself! I'm not saying you should grab a tube of ice cream or a box of cupcakes after a workout everyday, but maybe once or twice a week get that extra slice of pizza or the bigger slice of pie!

I hope these steps help you to be healthier!

Thank You!
