Are you feeling overwhelmed by the thought of embarking on a journey toward better health? Dont worry, youre not alone! Many people don’t know where to start when it comes to improving their health. This post will give you a few tips on how to get started so that you can begin your journey with confidence.

Everyone starts somewhere – even if you don’t have a clue where to begin. It’s normal to not know where to start when it comes to getting healthy; don’t let that stop you from taking action! Even if you’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of trying to improve your health, remember that everyone starts somewhereeven if you don’t have a clue where that is. Take the first step today and your future self will thank you for it!

Consider the 1% rule… do 1% better every day, or every week. Try not to look at the big picture all at once. A few 1% ideas you can start doing right away to kickstart your health journey:

1. Drink 1 more cup of water today than you did yesterday.
2. Walk for 10 minutes more today than you did yesterday
3. Go to bed 15 minutes earlier today than you did yesterday.
4. Eat one more vegetable today than you did yesterday.
5. Take a five-minute break to breathe, pray or meditate
   
   Get the picture? Start changing your habits just a little bit at a time – 1% change every day. If we decide to go “all-in” and then mess up, so many of us think we failed and quit but recognizing that you have until bedtime to do 1% better than you did yesterday – you will be less likely to believe the lie that you’re a failure.
   
   Educate yourself on the basics of good health and nutrition: Once you accept the fact that everyone starts from scratch, take the time to educate yourself on the basics of good health and nutrition. Understanding how your body works and which foods are best for it can help set you up for success. There are plenty of resources online and in books that can help guide you on your path toward better health. This is something I can help you with and I share a lot of tips in my free Facebook community, as well. Don’t try to jump into a whole new eating plan – just start incorporating more healthy foods into the meals you already cook. Stop buying as many processed foods. Crowd out the foods that aren’t so healthy with foods that are. Drink more water, and move a little bit every day. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
   
   Start Small: Set realistic goals for yourself that are manageable and achievable. Maybe it’s just walking around the block every day or drinking 8 glasses of water a day – whatever it is, make sure its something thats within reach so that you can stay motivated throughout the process.
   
   Find an accountability partner, coach, or group to help keep you on track: Whether it’s someone who is also just starting out or someone who has been living a healthy lifestyle for years, having someone else with whom you can share your successes (and failures) will help keep you motivated and accountable in meeting your goals. Plus, having someone else around makes things more fun!
   
   Celebrate your successes no matter how big or small they may be: One of the most important parts of working towards getting healthy is celebrating your successes no matter how small they may be – whether it’s completing a workout routine or making healthier food choices throughout the week. Celebrating these successes will help keep your spirits up throughout your journey and remind you why it’s worth all the hard work!
   
   Don’t give up – it’s not going to be easy, but it’s worth it in the end! It’s hard to focus on getting healthy when it feels like there are so many other things demanding our time and attention. Between work, family, and social obligations, it often feels like we don’t have a spare minute to ourselves. So how can we make time for getting healthy when it feels like such a challenge? Don’t give up! It won’t always be easy, but with persistence and making small tweaks to your daily habits, you can find ways to integrate healthy habits into your busy life. Remember – just do 1% better today than you did yesterday.
   
   It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at the thought of getting healthy – but don’t let fear stop you from taking those first steps! Remember that everyone starts somewhere, even if they don’t have a clue where to begin. Educate yourself on nutrition basics, set achievable goals for yourself, find an accountability partner or group for extra motivation, and celebrate each success no matter how big or small it may be! With these tips in mind, you’ll never have another excuse not to start working towards better health today!
