“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Are you satisfied with your health? Do you feel like you are on the right path to live a long and healthy life? Are you concerned your habits are taking you in the wrong direction? Have you tried to make changes, only to resume your previous unhealthy ways?
If you are like many of us, you likely feel you can do better.
It can be difficult and downright overwhelming to begin making changes in our lifestyle and improving our health. There is a myriad of information out there about diet, exercise, and self-improvement. It’s often hard to know what is right and where to begin.
The most difficult part of any journey is taking the first step.
Your current health habits did not develop overnight. Stressors in our lives and workplace, time pressures, economic circumstances; all of these have likely contributed to the choices we have made over the years that have lead to our current lifestyle. Poor eating habits, smoking, substance abuse, excessive alcohol intake, lack of exercise, and distraction are often coping mechanisms to deal with the challenges in our lives. They are powerful habits that we have good intentions of changing; but when the cues again present themselves, they are often too tempting to avoid.
I have news for you. Only you get to write your story! You have the power to make changes in your lifestyle! Start your journey today. Take the first step!
Join me as we climb the staircase to optimal health, one step at a time.
