Pure Start Challenge : forming healthy habits one week at a time

 

Hello and Happy New Year! I hope 2015 is off to a great start for you!

Have you made some new year’s resolutions? Well if you have, Congrats, but you’re doing it wrong!

90% of New Year’s Resolutions fail just a few days or a weeks into it. Why? Because the approach is all wrong. You’re trying to change too much and putting too much pressure on yourself.

Little progress or sign of change in those first few days will make you loose inspiration. You’ll get sloppy with your goals and loose commitment.

You should not be doing resolutions  – you should be focusing on forming healthy habits that will last and show you great results.

The last 6 years of my life, I didn’t stick to a single resolution or made drastic changes. I simply worked on one thing at a time with a long term goal. I worked on changing my habits!

Be honest, we all have bad habits and we’re a constant work in progress.

But if you’re looking for this year to be YOUR year, then this is how things go down!

You need to form healthy habits one week at a time – this way you will allow yourself to focus on perfecting just one small change. If you keep it simple and easy – it will stick! Healthy habits can be achievable and successful. 

Join me to transform your life with small easy changes. Just one small change at a time. This is the way to success and to a new YOU!

week 1. Drink More Water

7 tips to drink more water and improve your health and wellbeing :

• This week aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. 
• Make it filtered water or boil tap water. You don’t have to buy bottled water (read why here).
• First thing in the morning, drink warm water with 1/4-1/2 lemon squeezed in, 20 minutes before breakfast.
• Throughout the day, drink water in between meals. Not with your meals – but in between.
• When drinking each sip, swirl the water in your mouth to enhance the secretion of saliva – sounds weird?
  Your saliva is filled with enzymes that already start a healthy digestion in your mouth!
• Mild non-caffeinated tea, such as mint or camomile does count as a glass of water, one or two cups of tea are great.
• If water’s too boring for you, make it more exciting with fresh fruit infusions – simply add it berries or slices of juicy fruit into the water and allow them to seep into the water. This adds pure and natural flavour and vitamins to your water. You can prepare this the night before to allow a bountiful flavour the next day. So good!
• Keep a big bottle or tumbler near you at all times. This way you’ll have it ready to go and glancing at it will actually make you remember to drink it! Simple, right?
