Think positive!

So often nutrition & health articles focus on:

• changes we need to make
• things we know we should be doing but aren't 
• foods we know we shouldn't be eating but we still are!

So I thought I'd encourage you to focus on the positives you may already be doing for your health.  Take a moment to reflect on your day...

• did you eat fruit today?
• have you drunk some water?
• did you stop what you were doing and sit down to eat lunch?
• have you packed an afternoon snack to take to work?
• did you take the stairs instead of the elevator? (an 'oldie but a goodie'!)
• did you make time for breakfast? (your body's most important meal of the day!)

Take a few moments in the evening to set things up for the following morning:

• fill a reusable bottle with water & put it in the fridge ready to grab the next morning
• put a healthy snack in your work bag/diaper bag/backpack
• set out a plate on the table to remind you to eat breakfast
• place the fruit bowl somewhere obvious so you'll pick some up on your way out the door

Starting your day by achieving something straight away will encourage you to make more good choices throughout the day!  I'd love to hear what you're already doing for your good health!
