Two Habits to a Fit and Healthy Person!

Did you know the difference between finding it easy to diet and exercise is your mindset?

If you view yourself as not able to do something, you will find it challenging to get it done. For example, if you can’t follow a diet, you will find it challenging to eat healthily. If you can’t test your blood sugar or take your medications, you will find it hard to make time for these self-care actions.

Someone that eats well doesn’t view food, or himself, in the same way, an unhealthy, overweight person views those things.

With the appropriate mindset, you can do anything and become healthier!

These habits will help turn you into someone who’s naturally fit and healthy:

 Healthy choices

Make healthy choices and recognize them as such. The best way to think of yourself as someone who makes healthy choices is to make them regularly and start today.  

• When you make a healthy choice, notice it and announce to yourself, “I’m the kind of person who chooses healthy food over unhealthy food.” Or, “I’m one of those people that goes to the gym even if it’s raining.”
•  When you view health and fitness as part of your identity, the behaviors that support that belief occur naturally.
• When you preplan and make the diabetes self-care actions part of your day, the routine will become easy and familiar.

Grocery shopping

Do your grocery shopping the way a healthy person would. Before you head for the grocery store, make a list of everything you want to buy. Review that list and ensure that you’re making healthy choices. Remove any items that aren’t healthy and replace them with healthier options.

• Stick to your list. The only reason to stray from your list is if you remember something that you need. Avoid the temptation to pick up anything that fails to support your health.

Mindset is essential to improving your health and getting the results you desire. Is that result to be thinner, have more energy and no worry. Or is that a result of having fun with your family and friends?

Either way, having the right tools necessary and mindset is essential.
