![intentions.jpg]Let’s get started, the first thing you really need to do is set your intentions and set your goals I know this sounds so cliche without intention there is no end goal so you really need to know why you're getting healthy and why you want to do this for me personally it was because I wanted to start feeling better about myself feeling healthier I want to feel good in my clothes and have more energy.

Really set your intention make sure you're clear on your vision of why you want to do this how you're gonna do this and what you see yourself like looking like or feeling like six months on the road because that visualization of your journey and where you want to be is really important to get your mind in the right mindset to really get what really helps get your mind trained to the idea that you're gonna do this and when you set an intention make sure you write it on a piece of paper on your journal on your 28th 2018 yes I forgot what you were going into 2018 Journal or goals write it out make a note of it put it on paper because there's something very powerful about putting your goals into paper it solidifies that in your brain and it kind of sets it in stone for the universe to help you out.

Make a list of three things that you can do right now to start a healthy lifestyle they don't have to be crazy huge like milestones it could be as simple as swapping out your soda for water or instead of having french fries choosing broccoli instead of laying down on your couch and watching Netflix for two hours go for a walk also I remember reading somewhere that when you have a idea or a goal or like an intention you have to immediately take action right away and that kind of sends a signal to your brain and your body that yes we're gonna do this we're gonna get it done.

Please let me know in the comments what is the next three things that you're gonna do to start your healthy
lifestyle.

Start with the hardest thing first start with the thing that you dread the most and just do it what is that saying eat the Frog first basically you want to tackle your hardest task first because then every other task after that seems less daunting and much much more attainable for example for a lot of people working out could be their most daunting task so go and sign up for the gym and get a gym buddy else you let tackle the things that you're most kind of afraid of it kind of builds your confidence and it makes you think yeah it's like I can't do anything

I highly recommend that once you get started on your journey create like an inspirational board or start watching a lot of videos about fitness or like meal prepping like get yourself in that mind in that zone because following a lot of like Fitness instagrams so that every time you go to your feet you see something about fitness or like healthy lifestyle living surround yourself with that inspiration and that encouragement and that's gonna keep constantly reminding you now that you have a playlist on health and fitness video.

Healthy living is a lifestyle not a curse hate when people are so uptight about their diets first of all if you want to get healthy and you want to lose weight and you want to get fit it has to be a lifestyle change because it doesn't matter if you lose 20 pounds in a month and then you're like okay I'm good I lost the weight but then you don't you didn't up keep the lifestyle you gain that weight all the way back instead of thinking of it like okay 10 pounds 10 pounds pink okay I want to feel good so instead of having a cheeseburger I want to have straw and vegetables of brown rice think about like how you're gonna feel at the end of an action and it really prompts you to make a better choice and honestly have a good balanced life in moderation honestly but I want chocolate I eat chocolate but I control myself I don't eat like an entire ten pounds of chocolate right like what something I'll let myself have it but then I will kind of sacrifice something else like if I'm having cake then I will have you know a lighter lunch or if I know I'm gonna go out to eat then I'll have a lighter breakfast in a lighter lunch know what is life without food like you gotta enjoy your life and I think that's where the pitfall is for a lot of diets deprives you from the things that you love the most and when you feel deprived that's when it creates a bad connotation to the lifestyle and it makes you not live it.

Make a stash of like healthy recipes and like workouts that you can go to every time you like oh he need a little inspiration Pinterest is a great place to do that you know start pinning maybe like a couple of breakfast lunch and dinner recipes that are easy to make maybe create another board that's like easy workouts for the gym or like at home workouts have those kind of resources that you can go to every time you're like out of inspiration another thing that you can do is create like your healthy grocery shopping list template so like it lists out all of the health ingredients that you're always going to buy because you know how to make those recipes like let's say grow chicken or tofu and broccoli and whatever it is just make that list of your staples because you know how to make them and you know that you can have a me a fridge so every time instead of ordering Chinese food you can take out a chicken breast and put it on the grill

. Get active and get outside working out does really help it doesn't have to be going to the gym it could be going to a dance class it could be going to Zumba CrossFit I don't know rock climbing skateboarding snowboarding there are so many ways that you can get active and the reason why getting active is so important it's because when you exercise or when you are doing physical activities it releases endorphins on your brain that make you feel good and when you feel good you're less likely to make bad food choices and you're more likely to go for the better choices I mean tell me if it's not you when you're stressed out you tend to go for the M&Ms and not the healthy carrots right but when you're happy and you're feeling good you're like you know what those carrots look a mighty fine.

Start making a plan got Joe out you're weak write down your meals write down your workouts when are you gonna work out how much you're gonna work out for what exercises you're gonna do when you make a plan it's almost like you have a schedule right and it makes you like go and do it versus if you had no agenda it's kind of like Oh get to it when I get to it I also also highly recommend when you're starting your journey to start tracking your meals I used to use this app called lice sum in the beginning I started tracking my food because it really helped create a habit and also help me with kind of quickly being able to identify portion controls you should track your foods and like meal plan and meal prep and put them all into an app so that you can look back and see like okay well you know like this salad would all that olive oil maybe it wasn't the best choice for me I can choose something different and it breaks down your foods it breaks down the macros of the food the calories so it was very helpful for me in the beginning to understand the foods that I was eating and understand the calories I was consuming versus the calories I was outputting.

Start journaling I know this is probably you're thinking like this is totally unrelated journaling is so useful at releasing built-up tension and stress in your head like literally when I'm stressed out I would just go ahead and open my journal and searches writing my thoughts and I think that's really important because when you are stressed that is when you are most likely to overeat and get lazy and get unmotivated you know release any negative thoughts talk to somebody like make sure you are mentally in a good place so that you can physically go and execute your healthy lifestyle.

Stop focusing on the number on the scale and start just celebrating your accomplishments and your achievements I think I mean yes it's I think it's important to have like a weight loss goal if that's your goal but personally I think it's more important for you to set your mind on your goal too I want to live a healthy lifestyle I want to choose better choices and I want to get more active that's a better goal set that oh I want to lose 20 pounds by like I don't know March 31st like when I went on my journey I my goal was to push myself every day at the gym as much as I could and and like sweat as much as I could and remember guys everything in moderation is the key to a sustainable lifestyle do not
deprive yourself do not go crazy because you ate cake at a birthday party it is not that big of a deal okay just go to the gym the next day and burn it off life goes on the most important part is that the healthy lifestyle should complement your life it shouldn't make you a slave to it so find a way to find that balance between your personal life and also your healthy lifestyle because there is a way to balance both of them most likely if you start living this healthy lifestyle and the people around you are not they're gonna get so inspired by the fact that you are that you know you guys might just start doing it all together alright guys so those are my Tennant tips on how to get started on your healthy lifestyle let me know what you guys would like to know in this healthy lifestyle series.
