3 tips for staying consistent with lifestyle changes

If you have decided it is time to take up a new healthy lifestyle, that’s great. Choosing to do this and get started is one of the toughest parts of the process, so it’s fantastic that you have taken this step. However, the next thing that you need to do is stick to it! This is easier said than done, so here are three tips for staying consistent with lifestyle changes.

BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU’RE EATING

One thing you must do to stick to lifestyle changes is to be aware of what foods you eat. Most people do not like to do this, and at times it can become obsessive, so watch out for signs of this and seek help if needed. But, you must watch what you’re putting into your body, especially if you follow a specific diet. For example, you need to know what foods to avoid on keto if you adopted this lifestyle specifically, and the same goes for any other disciplined eating plan. There will always be a list of forbidden foods, and you must know what they are if you want the best (and healthiest) results.

If you aren’t following a food plan, you’re likely aiming to make better choices and monitor that you’re making the best choice. Eliminating processed foods and adding fruits or vegetables to your plate is one of the easiest ways o ensure a balanced diet. Smart swaps are a great way to get all the vitamins and nutrients your body requires.

MAKE EXERCISE A PRIORITY

Exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle. You can’t just sit around all day, not move, do nothing, and expect optimal health to happen. It just isn’t going to happen (sorry!). However, you don’t have to head to the gym a couple of types per week if you don’t want to. Simple things like going for a walk, doing squats in the living room, or taking up yoga can be beneficial. You don’t have to perform high-intensity workouts to get in shape; any movement will get you headed in the right direction.

GET QUALITY SLEEP

Sleep is essential to a healthy lifestyle. Your body needs time to recover and get through all the processes it can’t do during the day, which happens while you sleep. The recommended amount of sleep that you should aim for is around seven hours of sleep per night, so stick to this if you can! There are some great (free) resources to help heal your sleep patterns, for example, delta and theta binaural beats, which enable access to the five stages of sleep. If you take naps, try keeping them to 45-minutes or less. The bottom line is that life fills your day with many tiring activities, allowing you the time and space to relax and recharge, enabling real rest.
