With so many things in our daily schedule to complete it is sometimes near impossible to find the time to exercise or even prepare a healthy meal, so we ignore the local gyms and opt for the takeaway as it seems just easier all round. However with a few simple changes, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved and all it takes is a little forethought.
Is it exercise or being good to yourself?
Changing your mindset about exercise can make all the difference in the world, when you view keeping fit as a chore then you are less likely to find the time to fit it into your day. However by believing exercise is just what you need to set you up for the day or to de-stress you after a stressful day at work you can see that you are actually being good to yourself. Exercise releases powerful hormones which can alleviate stress and also make you feel more confident and in control, who doesn't want to feel good, chores will never make anyone feel good, but taking even just ten minutes to do some stretches or dancing round the living room can have an impact on your whole day.
Success is in small goals
If you view getting healthy as a huge goal, you will probably be put off after the first few weeks, but by breaking progress down into small manageable steps it is far easier to incorporate into your daily routine. Instead of sitting behind your desk at lunchtime, go for a walk. Instead of munching on high street sandwiches, make your lunch whilst preparing dinner the night before, ensuring you know exactly what is going into your lunchbox. You don't need to think that you need to lose huge amounts of weight by a set time, however by setting a small weekly or monthly goal will be much easier to attain and you will be less likely to veer off of the path you have planned for yourself.
Have a purpose
Getting healthy in itself is a purpose however, it is a very large purpose and can encompass many things from, losing weight, to keeping up with the kid's on the football pitch to being able to climb the stairs without getting out of breath. You need to be able to set the reason why you want to achieve overall healthiness and a great way is to set a purpose. If you want to shift your mind out of neutral or a highly stressed mind, then consider yoga, if you want to feel more toned then try weight training, if you want to feel more confident try Pilates.
Time for exercise is not really an issue it is the achievable goals you set, start off small and with each success you will feel more confident and you will be able to think of ingenious ways of putting healthiness into your life rather than trying to avoid it because it seems like a huge task. Feeling healthy and fit is the one of the greatest gifts you can give to your body, so why not treat yourself to feeling good.
