Happy New Year!<\/span><\/p>\n

This month Dr. Hagel and I teamed up to help you get started on your post-holiday wellness habits. You can start small (this often works the best) and build in more healthy habits over time as you get more experience with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

My article will give you an introduction to thinking about how to create healthy habits for your overall lifestyle, which can be applied to any area of your life you want to work on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Hagel\u2019s article discusses how to deal with nutrition habits and get back on track after holidays full of eating decadent foods high in sugars, refined grains and unhealthy fats. Outside of turkey and our faithful nutcrackers, we often see the dietary ratio of processed foods and sugar to outweigh our intake of healthy proteins, fats and green vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 Steps to Creating your Health Routine in 2018<\/span><\/h2>\n

By Lisa Lin, RMT, HHPR<\/span><\/p>\n

Establishing health and wellness requires effort, dedication and consistency. In order to make this happen, health promoting activities must be practiced on a regular basis. Exercising once a month or eating a healthy supper once a week is better than nothing, but it isn\u2019t going produce the results you want. A regular, habitual routine will make that happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever we experience change or transition in life it throws us out of the familiar and into the unknown \u2013 we have no routine, schedule or system during those times. Usually the first things to go are: exercise, healthy nutrition and sleep. Think of times when you experienced this: exams at school, starting a new job, Christmas activities, illness, travel, moving, personal losses, new additions to the family. We adapt, change and adjust in response to each situation. What often happens to our energy and sense of wellbeing during those times? Upside down and depleted. It is part of life that we experience times we can\u2019t plan for and there is a need for flexibility. This article is looking at the other times when we CAN<\/strong> create and participate in a healthy routine. This is key in building health. We can create and improve our health through many means \u2013 physical activity, nutrition, social support, learning new activities, sleep, play and mindfulness to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I know you\u2019ve got this ability within you, no matter how dubious you are feeling at the moment!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Magical 4 Steps To Creating A Healthy Lifestyle Routine<\/span><\/h2>\n

1.<\/strong> Ask yourself what you value most about health. Why do you want to make changes?<\/span>
\n 2.<\/strong> Prioritize what you want. START SMALL. PICK ONE THING<\/strong>.<\/span>
\n 3.<\/strong> Schedule it in (realistically, don\u2019t set yourself up for perfection here)<\/span>
\n 4.<\/strong> Check in with yourself after a period of time and be aware of how this activity has benefited you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is an example from my life, following those 4 specific steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> I value the power of my mind in making a huge impact on my health. I want to be able to think clearly and use\u00a0my\u00a0intelligence. I want to learn to still the mental chatter of my busy days.<\/span>
\n 2.<\/strong> I want to start meditating 5 minutes a day. With an app on my phone to keep my mind focused instead of it\u00a0wandering off. A friend emailed me a link to short meditation routines I could use.<\/span>
\n 3.<\/strong> I will do this in the evenings after I put the kids to bed and the house is quiet. I am committing to 4-6x per week,then will reevaluate after 2 to 4 weeks to see if I want to continue.<\/span>
\n 4.<\/strong> I did notice that life seemed a bit more zen and I was more mindful of my emotions and triggers. I will keep this habit in place and see how it grows over time.<\/span><\/p>\n
