I have always known that making small steps is the best way to be successful when trying to make changes. But I haven’t always followed that approach when giving health advice.
I guess I just get excited about all the great results people can enjoy when doing everything right. But it seldom works well for most people. Our old habits are just so strong that they seem to pull you right back in.
If changes are made slowly, one step at a time, you are able to build new habits while still enjoying some of the things you love. Then, when the new habit is solid, you can begin to add a new best habit.
What you eat has the greatest influence on your health but is also the hardest to change. Those yummy favorites just want to pull us back in, so let’s apply this positive approach to making positive choices that can last.
I want you to succeed, so let me introduce you to a great free resource that I respect, and it focuses on the principles of adding the good, rather than ripping away the food you love. It is the Full Plate Living* program.
This type of quality programming is usually very expensive, but because it is a non-profit, it’s completely FREE! CLICK HERE to go to their website, click on the “Join for free” tab, and begin the best path to the health you have been wanting.
This is the first in a series on health, from Wellness Support. The new name for the Health Ministry, because I want to support you in your journey toward wellness.
