Our 3 tips for keeping a Healthy change going

If you’re looking for some pointers to keep up your new years resolutions, then this post is for you.

No need for a massive post this time, the best and longest lasting changes are almost always small, its doing them for the long haul that makes them worthwhile!

Our 3 tips for keeping a healthy change on track are:

1. Avoid all or nothing!

Lots of people start with the intention of achieving 100% of their goals - no sugar ever, exercising every day, or meditating every morning etc.

The problem with committing to 100% is that life doesn’t always allow for 100%. So often it feels like once you have gone off track then there is no point getting back on!

You tell yourself that it will never work and you fail back into your pre-resolution pattern. Getting off track is normal! The secret is to accept that it’s going to happen and get straight back on.

After a tiring day at work it’s easy to feel the urge to skip your exercise. Exercising before work means that you have prioritised the important (your long term health) over the urgent.

2. If exercise is your resolution, consider doing it in the morning.

If you're one of the people heading back to work this week, you probably already know that it’s harder to fit a workout in when work takes up so much of the day.

3. Listen to your body.

Changing can be tough on your body. If regular exercise is new to you, taking a rest day is super important and can help you avoid an injury.

Getting a checkup to see if everything is working the way it should is also a great idea.
