Achieving your health and wellness goals isn’t about making big, drastic lifestyle changes all at once. It’s about practicing small, healthy habits and integrating them into your daily life consistently over time.

As you continue your journey, consider these tips to help you create healthy habits that stick:

• Start small. Start with something attainable by breaking down your habits. For example, instead of taking the stairs in your office every day of the week, start at once or twice a week, and then add more days as you develop endurance.
• Be mindful. Being aware of why you make certain choices will provide you with a sound mindset, so you are able to continue implementing new changes. Having a positive mindset can improve your sense of wellbeing and your ability to function confidently in everyday life, primarily when a challenge arises.
• Be patient.Change does not happen overnight. If you find yourself breaking your new habit from time to time, be patient with yourself! Remember, it’s the overall journey to achieving optimal health and wellbeing that counts!
