Let’s get physical

Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores. Often getting up off the couch is a decision we need to make. Staying put, staying the same, is easy. Being better, feeling better, doing better requires effort, BUT you can do it! Your mind will thank you! Your family and friends will thank you!

Stack your habits:

Experts say the best way to form a new habit is to tie it to an existing habit. Look for patterns in your day and think about how you can use existing habits to create new, positive ones. Our morning routine is our strongest routine for many of us, so that’s a great place to stack on a new habit.

Love yourself:

Find healthy ways to reward yourself.
Speak positively about yourself and to yourself.
Live without regret.
Do that new activity with guts and enthusiasm.
