When it comes to creating long-term, sustainable changes in nutrition, fitness and self-care levels, all progress matters. No matter how small that progress looks or feels. When you reflect on last week, look for things you did a little bit better. And when you plan ahead for a fresh week, look for ways you can do a little bit better. That’s all it takes to create sustainable change in your life.
Depending on where you’re at, here are a few ideas for doing a little bit better this week, compared with last week:
- Run or walk one more mile for the week
- Meditate for 1 more minute a day
- Stretching for 5 more minutes a day
- Swap one fast-food meal for a more nutritious takeout version
- Go to bed 30 minutes earlier
- Add one more serving of vegetables to daily dinners
- Do one more strength training day
- Sign up for one more fitness class you love
Doing – and being – a little bit better for yourself is easy, when you break it down. You choose how.
