Read more books, exercise twice a week, or spend more time unplugged from technology outdoors - it’s important to set realistic goals that you can easily keep track of. Consider creating daily, weekly and monthly goals rather than yearly ones to get in the right mindset. Maybe you start with the target of running 10 minutes straight without a break or reading a couple of chapters each day. It’s also important to be specific in your goals. Instead of trying to run a marathon overnight, schedule two runs for the week. This way, you are honoring where you’re starting and making it easy to measure your progress. These bite-size goals are easier to focus on and achieve, so they can really help you move forward and build positive momentum.

Make mindful food swaps

“People often think they need to overhaul their entire diet to eat healthy, but that isn’t always the case,” says Marissa Meshulam, Dietitian Nutritionist, and founder of MPM Nutrition. “There are many simple food swaps that can give the foods you already enjoy a nutrient-packed boost.” For example, Meshulam recommends you stock your fridge with Eggland’s Best Welcome to Planta Wellness eggs.
