Start Small and See Big Changes

Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed at the thought of getting healthy? You’re not alone! Many women struggle with knowing where to start to get healthy. But here’s the truth—you don’t have to do it all at once. Small, consistent steps can lead to lasting change.

If you’ve been putting off improving your health because you don’t know where to begin, this guide will show you simple, realistic steps to kickstart your journey without the overwhelm.

Everyone Starts Somewhere (Even If You Feel Lost!)

It’s easy to feel discouraged when you don’t have a clear plan. Maybe you’ve tried different diets, exercise routines, or wellness programs and felt like you failed. But the good news? You are not starting over—you are starting from experience.

No matter where you are today, you can take the first step toward better health. The key is to shift your mindset: progress over perfection.

Where to Start to Get Healthy

The 1% Rule: Small Steps Lead to Big Results When You’re Getting Healthy

Instead of focusing on drastic changes, try the 1% rule—do 1% better today than you did yesterday. Small, sustainable changes add up over time and help you build momentum.

Here are a few 1% ideas you can start today:

✅ Drink one more glass of water than you did yesterday.
✅ Walk for 10 minutes more than you did yesterday.
✅ Go to bed 15 minutes earlier tonight.
✅ Eat one more serving of vegetables today.
✅ Take five minutes to breathe, pray, or meditate.

By making these small changes daily, you’ll develop healthier habits that feel natural instead of overwhelming.

Educate Yourself on Health & Nutrition (Without the Overwhelm!)

The more you understand your body, the easier it is to make healthy choices. But don’t feel like you need to master everything at once.

Here’s a simple way to start:

• Focus on adding more whole foods rather than cutting everything out.
• Drink more water and reduce processed drinks.
• Move your body daily in a way that feels good for you.

Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint—small changes will lead to lasting transformation.

Start Small & Set Realistic Goals

It’s tempting to go all-in with a brand-new routine when you don’t know where to start to get healthy, but if it’s not sustainable, it won’t last. Instead, set small, realistic goals that you know you can achieve.

Some simple starting goals:
✔ Walk around the block once a day.
✔ Drink 8 glasses of water daily.
✔ Eat an extra serving of greens at lunch.
✔ Go to bed 30 minutes earlier.

When you hit these small goals, you’ll feel motivated to keep going!

Find an Accountability Partner, Support Group, or Coach

It’s easy to slip back into old habits when you don’t have support. Find a friend, coach, or online group to encourage and hold you accountable.

Having someone to share your wins and struggles with makes the journey more enjoyable and keeps you on track.

Celebrate Your Wins (Even the Small Ones!)

Every step you take toward better health is worth celebrating! Whether it’s choosing a healthier meal, completing a short workout, or simply drinking more water—acknowledge your progress.

Celebrating your wins keeps you motivated and reminds you that you’re making real changes.

Don’t Give Up—This Journey is Worth It!

Life is busy, and prioritizing health can feel impossible. But remember:

• You don’t have to be perfect—just 1% better today than yesterday.
• Small daily actions add up to big results.
• You are not alone—there is support available.
