Healthy tips. Healthy, Happy You (And How To Get There)
As we wrap up the first week of the New Year, I know you girls are still crushing your goals for 2018 (I mean, have youseen #teamlsfon Instagram!?) but as the year continues, we all know how easy it is to fall short of the resolutions we've set. Never fear! I'm here to help.
I'm here with 5 failsafe ways to have a healthier, happier you this year (because yousodeserve it)!
The LSF Lifestyle Makeover Plan is Your Roadmap
Right now is the perfect time to jumpstart your body and mind to set yourself up for success with 2018 as the best year ever. The best way I know how to do that is with the LSF Lifestyle Makeover Plan. (Seriously, I tried everythingggggg. Nothing worked. Until this.)
This time of year, everyone focuses on eating clean and working out — which I am all about — but the reason so many people fall short of their goals is they set them, but don't change their life around to support those goals. Without making true lifestyle changes, you're setting yourself up to fail! And we don't want that, girl! So listen up. These 5 tips will help you rock your resolutions in 2018! (I've written posts about setting goalsand resolutionsso if you're just coming out of the holiday fog and ready to rock the New Year, it's not too late!)
1. Clean Out Your Physical Space
Seriously. Take a few minutes, a few hours, whatever it takes, and clean out your space. There's sciencebehind what a clean space does for your mental health, plus if you've set health goals, you don't want to sabotage yourself by leaving junk food around. So set aside some time, turn on some music, and make it fun! Clean out that closet, your office, your dorm room, or pantry. Put away the holiday decorations. Or be ambitious and tackle the whole house! Whatever it takes. Get it done and I promise you'll feel refreshed, renewed, and restored.
2. Clean Out Your Mental Space
Same decluttering principles apply to your mental space as your physical space. Set some time aside to reflect, clear your head, and get rid of the things that aren't serving you. Throw away that negative self-talk you've held onto all these years. it's only holding you back. Sit down and really reflect. Have a conversation with yourself and discover what mental clutter you've been holding onto and release it.
A great way of doing this for me personally is through yoga. And this one below is one of my faves. Release all that negative energy in your brain with a little help from your body, and you'll be unstoppable!
3. Have a Plan!
Setting goalswithout a clear plan to get you there is asking for trouble. Something like 92% of New Year's resolutions fail! Wanna know why? Because people set goals without a plan or making any real changes. No bueno.
Decide what your vision looks like for a healthier, happier you in 2018. What does that mean to you? How will you get there? Sit down and write it out. By spending time writing it out, not only are you more likely to achieve those goals, but also you have to confront if you really have a plan or not. If you can't explain how you're going to get there, chances are, you're not going to get there.
Whatever your goals are: a new job, getting accepted into your college of choice, doing 15 push-ups, cutting sugar or anything else, you've got to have a plan. The LSF Lifestyle Makeover Planis going to be your friend here, so be sure to grab it to set yourself up for success in 2018.
Get More Sleep?
I mean, duh. Sleep is amazzzzzzing. But sometimes it's counterintuitive to find time formoresleep when you've just added yet another thing to your to do list. But trust me. Sleep is going to help you get to your goals.
Not only is sleep going to help you see those fitness goals you've been working on, but sleep is also crucial in helping you mentally be your best. A well rested person is much more likely to be able to tackle their goals, say no to temptations, and treat themselves right. So, resist the temptation to skimp out on the zzz's and you'll find yourself healthier and happier, and ready to CRUSH your 2018 goals each and every day.
Find Your Happy
Focus on you. You deserve it. Find time in your oh-so-busy-schedule to do at leastonething that makes you seriously happy each and every week.It doesn't have to be related to your goals. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else‚Ķ and honestly, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone — don't forget that! Just find your happy and follow it. Do that thing that makes you feelunapologetically freaking awesome. And when you do, you'll find you have so much more zest for life. Recharge your own batteries so you have more to give, to others, your goals, and ultimately back to yourself.
