First Rule in Behavior Change

I want to briefly discuss one fundamental tool of behavior change; attitude! Ask yourself what it is that you really want to accomplish; what is your mind-set regarding this issue? Positive or negative? If it is positive and it is something that you really want, chances are changes WILL happen. Problems arise when someone is being told they “have” to do something. When they embark on behavior change for the wrong reasons, plans are certain to fall apart. Has anyone every told you that you have to quit smoking, or you have to lose some weight? Chances are when you tried to appease these individuals you did not make a permanent change in your life. The fact is, the first rule in behavior change is that the individual must WANT to make the change themselves, or else it is never going to work. When you really want something your thoughts, words, and actions reflect the change you are seeking and you surround yourself with positive affirmations of what is to come. The saying “if you can see it you can be it” is really true. You actually WANTING to make a change is the very first step in behavior modification. So, are you ready for change right now? What health behaviors would you like to improve upon? Think about this, and begin to create a positive image of what the future “you” will look like and feel like. What will you be doing differently? Creating this “wellness vision” is the first step you can take to begin creating a new you and to change negative behaviors. So, if you are ready to make a change, and it is YOUR idea, begin to craft your wellness vision as a first step towards leading a happier and healthier life. You CAN do this! Best of luck!

Fit a Little Fitness Into Your Day!

You might not always have time to complete a 30 or 45-minute workout, and that is okay! Studies have shown that you can get the same calorie burn and health benefits from chipping away at it throughout the day. It all adds up! During the past few years, express workouts have become much more popular both in the gym and on fitness DVDs. There are workouts that range from 5-30 minutes and all of them can offer you an energy boost whenever you can fit it in! Try exercising for 10 minutes before you go to work, 10 minutes before lunch, and 10 minutes after dinner; you will have done a 30-minute workout by the end of the day!
