It seemed like your eating healthy plan was going well until you looked down and noted a plethora of chip bags nearby, cookie crumbs scattered down your shirt, and a smear of chocolate on your cheek.
Tap into these healthy eating mindset ideas that you can start today and get a headstart to success for you and others you want to inspire to eat healthier, too.
This board could contain things like this to motivate you:
There are no limits! Put the moodboard in the kitchen or nearby to remind you to work on that goal. A recipe board on Pinterest is a great idea, too, but there is something about a physical board that you walk by often that can be a great trigger to not lose sight of the big goal! Here are some moodboard tips!
Healthy eating should not feel like a chore so take a moment and check-in with yourself before getting started. Ensure your goals are realistic for what is going on in your life right now. Try to pinpoint why you’re struggling to maintain your healthy eating goals, and then determine the actions you can take to eliminate your resistance. For example, have your groceries delivered if time is an issue or get some vegetables pre-chopped. Always check in for roadblocks so that they don’t get in the way of your success.
Write down your goals and place the card somewhere you will see them every day. Break it down and only focus on one or two changes that you’re confident you can do. Give yourself plenty of time to get used to the new changes and go from there.
Talk to your family and friends and seek others that want to get involved, too. Make a pact to cook together and catch up over the prep and if you live alone, cook the same meal with a friend over a Zoom call. By reframing dinner as a shared experience, you can turn a chore into a way to spend time with those you love (another huge aspect of living a healthy lifestyle).
