Many people have heard or said the phrase, “I will start on Monday, next week, or in the new year.” While it’s good to plan and set schedules for ourselves, we often get caught up in creating the perfect starting point and give up altogether when faced with even the slightest obstacle.

Sustainable change only happens after some time; building a habit or routine takes time. If you’re serious about changing your lifestyle, you need to make sustainable changes that you can stick to for the long term. Ask yourself what you can see yourself sticking to for a year, what excites you, and what your end goal is.

Create a routine that works for you, and work your way to that goal. Remember, a realistic approach to lifestyle changes is key to setting achievable goals.

Start today! What is stopping you? Your first step can be to incorporate small changes into your daily routine. Starting small makes the process less overwhelming and allows you to focus on one change at a time. Move a little more, eat a few vegetables, and drink water. Go for a walk after dinner, and enjoy the outdoors. Start with the basics and ease yourself into your dream lifestyle.

Do not wait for the perfect moment because life is imperfect. Challenge yourself to improve your life instead of doing a full 180 and changing everything simultaneously.
