I don’t know about you, but I have made many. Some very successful, and others that needed a lot more of my focus and commitment.

Healthy living can be such a struggle. The temptations of fast food and tasty processed foods get us addicted. Busyness leads us to a want of ease for the chaos that we create for ourselves. And then the advancement of technology allows us to remain more sedentary than ever before.

Plus you can’t forget just life itself. Life happens.

Healthy living would be super easy if everything that was supposed to be present actually was minus the temptations and complications.

It’s hard to do the right thing.

But as you know, your wealth is your health. And as we get older, we recognize this more, mostly because of maturity.

Do what is right, not what is easy. But easy is so much — easier!

So how can you really begin to live that healthy lifestyle?

Look at your health differently than you have before.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Look at your health differently!

We only see what’s in front of us. Unless you are looking for something else, you will keep looking for the same thing.

So you have to change how you look at healthy living.

And remember, sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing is the same thing.

1. Drop the comparison. We all come in all shapes and sizes.
2. Practice positive self-talk. Watch what you say to yourself in the mirror.
3. Replace fear with gratitude.  You might be scared for what didn’t happen before you tried or something you experienced prior to this round. But it the college try.
4. Set health-related goals. Most desired changes are built upon size-related goals. Your body and life are totally different now. Look at how you want to feel and what you want to do with the changes you instill. This will get you off of your size and keep you motivated to your health.
5. Create your now. You can’t wait to live the life you want later. Make plans and make changes. Don’t let life pass you by.

Remember, what you like now came through change. Change is good. It’s a little uncomfortable at first. But as you continue to live it out, it becomes your new comfortable. Change is good, and your health is worth it.

It’s hard to do the right thing, but it’s time to do the right thing.

One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!
