Changes…One At A Time…One Day At A Time

Make little changes, one at a time, one day at a time.  Don’t instantly start a dramatic change in your diet or undertake a rigorous exercise program….dramatic, abrupt changes don’t last.

Rather, try this…make one food change or one activity change for your first week.  Don’t do anything else.  Make only one change.  Believe me, it’s enough to sustain long-lasting change.  If you eat one large meal during the day, break it down into two smaller meals.  Or, if you drink a soda every day, switch to drinking flavored plain water.  If you’re sedentary, walk down your driveway or down your street and back, every other day.  Take a peaceful, enjoyable walk around the block or around the house for 10 minutes.  Remember…one change is the way to making changes that last.

Would you like to feel calmer and centered, take a couple of minutes to close your eyes and sit quietly.  Pay attention to your breathing, and let any thoughts float by, like a flowing stream.  Open your eyes and allow yourself to feel grateful for all you have in your life.  Count your blessings.

All this for just one small change.
