When it comes to caring for your lifestyle choices in 2021, most of us find ourselves at somewhat of a loss. Most gyms are closed in lockdown, sourcing groceries from health stores can be worthwhile, but a little less convenient than it was before Covid-19. Of course, the fact that a pandemic is sweeping the world is a health concern as well, something that we cannot simply brush off.
Trying To Make Positive Lifestyle Choices In 2021? Simple Principles To Help You
So - perhaps instead of ruggedly disciplining ourselves or throwing our schedule into the deep end, again, how can we make better, healthier and more interesting health-conscious choices without limiting ourselves, or burning out too readily? It’s a good question to ask, as it accepts that caring for our fitness approach is important, but it’s also more important to apply this in a realistic and sustainable manner.
This way, you not only get the benefits of building discipline, but can build the wall brick-by-brick rather than all at once. This gives us the chance to grow, develop, and make progress without having to grind the most difficult approach possible.

Take It Day By Day
Taking things day by day can often seem like a boring cliche, but it’s so true, and even more true when every day can blend into the next (which is often what happens when spending inordinate amounts of time at home). For instance, you might find that each morning, you wake up, brush yourself off, and go for a walk. This can help you feel like you’ve accomplished something that morning, which helps you come back and feel like you’re better equipped to make the next healthy choice, such as logging a meal in My Fitness Pal to calculate your calories. Little accomplishments beget bigger victories.
Make Small, Incremental Changes
Slow, incremental change can often help you become the kind of person able to perform much more readily than you might have done otherwise. For instance, first you might start wondering what is couscous, and how it’s applied to a diet. Then, you might learn how to cook with it. Before long, your meals might be replaced carefully with this healthy ingredient. Then you’ll unlock a whole range of recipes you can use for a healthy snack, or to curate your evening meal in the healthiest manner possible. Forcing this in the first instance might have left you getting burned out - as such, and as you can see, small change is often the healthiest first step afforded to you.
Let The Change Inspire You
Letting the change inspiring you is an important tip to utilize. It’s very easy to think that we have to follow a rigid set of chores to improve in anything, but often, the journey is better than the destination. Let yourself feel challenge, and express your frustration of the past year in trying to overcome it. Use it as a tool to emotionally regulate yourself. When you do that something amazing happens. You realize that you’ve crested that hill - and can crest more in the future.
With this advice, we hope you can make more positive lifestyle changes in 2021 and beyond - in a way that makes an actual and verifiable difference going forward.
