5 Tips for Feeling Good & Looking Good

1. SET REALISTIC GOALS

These motivate you to continue practicing good health habits: like eating well and exercising regularly. I set realistic and measurable short-term goals like training 3 times per week or drinking 2 litres of water a day. What’s more important is living a long, happy and fulfilling life. To achieve this ultimate goal, I recommends plotting it out in small, attainable increments, begin with the end in mind.

2. WALK THE TALK

Getting started can be the hardest thing to do, with day one usually the hardest. But once you start it can be very empowering, as you regain control over your life – not just your physical self but your mental self as well. Emotional wellbeing is as important as physical wellbeing, as one greatly influences the other. Recognizing this, seeking help for emotional issues which may be troubling you, or learning skills to best handle stress will greatly influence your total wellbeing, and ultimately the way you present yourself to the world. Many of us need healing for an events we went through as a child, as a teen, or adult. This process can be extremely beneficial for your long term health.

3.    MAKE YOUR HEALTH A PRIORITY

Treat a workout as an appointment – an important one. In the same way you make time for a haircut or a dentist appointment, schedule your workout time into your day. Sometimes you may have to turn down something just to be able to work out but that’s ok. If you focus on your health as a top priority, all else seems to fall into place. I realize not everyone will have the same flexible timetable that I have, but it is possible to schedule in physical activity and healthy eating regardless of your busy schedule.

4.    DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

Try different things to see what workout routine and meal plan will work best to help you achieve your goals. Source out qualified advice, and get expert guidance especially when starting out.

Getting the right advice at the beginning will ensure the work you put in will get you the results you’re after.

5.    GO EASY ON YOURSELF

Even I slack off on my training sometimes.  I am partial to a few too many beers with friends on the odd occasion as well but I don’t beat myself up over it.  Listen to your body, work with it, push when you can, and rest when you need to. Once you realise that living life is about enjoying yourself and that if you remain focussed on your long term goals minor bumps along the way take on no significance.
