2017 is upon us and although many things can happen in our lives, one thing that is fairly constant is our desire for self-improvement. This is the time we make New Year resolutions to eat better, exercise, meditate, sleep more and so on.
Having myself made plenty of New Year resolutions just to see my resolve fade away around the beginning of February, I am now committed to making only a couple of changes a year instead of massive, numerous improvements. I have learned my lesson of trying to change too much too soon—I now know that baby steps are needed in order to succeed in anything.
In your quest for better health consider changing just a few things that will give you the biggest improvement on efforts spent. Do things you already do, but do them better or more often. When eating out at a restaurant—choose fruit instead of chocolate cake for dessert. You will still love your dessert, but you will feel less guilty about it! When cooking, opt for more wholesome ingredients—grape seed oil instead of canola. You have to use oils anyway—just choose better.
This year, among other changes in your life may I suggest changing how you treat your skin—one baby step at a time. You already use moisturizer--you will get one anyway. This time, purchase one that is 100% clean. Say no to chemicals and preservatives that harm your body and skin in the long run. Say yes to pure edible skincare and start the year right! Before you know it, you will feel like your skin looks and feels better than it has in years. This will propel you to do more for your overall health, finally putting you on track to fulfill your dreams of a healthier lifestyle.
This year, choose to go natural in every aspect of your life and see your life come together like never before!
