Once you’ve identified your barriers and your "why," it’s time to take your first step toward a healthier lifestyle. The key is to take action without overthinking - even small steps make a difference. As you start, remember that progress is more important than perfection.
Set a Weekly Goal:
Choose one small goal to focus on each week, such as eating a vegetable with every meal, walking for 30 minutes three times a week, or drinking more water. Avoid setting too many goals at once, as this can lead to feeling overwhelmed.
Track Your Progress:
Keep a journal or use an app to track your actions and reflect on how they make you feel. This will help you stay consistent and build confidence.
Celebrate Small Wins:
Each time you reach a goal - no matter how small - celebrate it. Whether it’s choosing a healthy snack, completing a workout, or drinking more water, acknowledging your efforts reinforces positive change.

Action Tip:
Write down one goal for the week (e.g., "I will add a vegetable to one meal per day"). Track your progress by noting when you achieve your goal. Reflect on how it makes you feel physically and emotionally.
