All too often I see people want to radically change their life and only give themselves a short amount of time to accomplish this very daunting task. I believe 100% that in order for permanent change to happen we need to take it slow. So my suggestion this glorious holiday Monday is to look at your life and decide what little change you can implement. One that you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life and one that doesn't require a total life change overhaul overnight. And then begin to buy into the idea of gradual change over a long period of time for the rest of your life. After all, there's really no hurry when it comes to health, it's a process we will always be working on. Keep that perspective at the forefront of your mind and you will continue to become healthier because the decisions you make will directly relate to that type of mindset.
As an random example, it takes an average of 17 years to become a millionaire by gradually putting money aside. Rarely does it happen overnight. It's dedication + time.
Envision yourself becoming healthier with each year that passes. Age is just a number and each day we are given is a gift to become a little bit fitter.

i love this part: there's really no hurry when it comes to health, it's a process we will always be working on.
i also have a snippet from you from a previous post that i try to remind myself frequently that is: try to be 1% better today than yesterday. that is such a minor amount. can i be 100% today? no, but i can be 1% !! i can make one small change or improvement. i'm not overwhelmed by that.
