[交流] 【Share】make health changes

If you have one or more habits that are working against you, now is as good a time as any to set a course for better health. How? The American Heart Association recommends “cognitive behavioral strategies for promoting behavior change.” They aim to help you think more positively about yourself as you make healthy changes. Here are some of those strategies:

Set goals. Having specific, achievable goals is a key strategy for successful change. Goals that involve behaviors (“I will eat three servings of whole grains a day”) tend to work better than physiological goals (“I will lower my cholesterol”).

Track your progress. With all the things you have to remember each day, it’s hard to know whether you are meeting your daily goals. Data from dozens of studies show that self-monitoring is an important attribute of successful changers. You can track your exercise or pounds lost with a notebook, a computer, a smartphone, or an invention of your own.

Motivation. Changing a habit or behavior is easier if you have a good reason for doing it. Motivation can be something big, like getting in shape for a walking trip with a grandchild, or small, like fitting into a slimmer suit for a wedding. The more personal the motivator, the better.

Get support. Starting a change isn’t nearly as challenging as sticking with it. Support from family, friends, a doctor, or someone else — even from an online community — can provide feedback and encouragement, especially when you are feeling low.

You don’t need to aim for a complete transformation all at once. Small changes in diet, exercise, or weight can make a big difference in your health. Setting goals you can realistically achieve, and then meeting them, can snowball into even bigger improvements.

你就是你

Thanks for your share, but it's easier said than done.
我要的不多,一杯清水,一片面包,一句我爱你。如果奢侈一点,我希望:水是你亲手倒的,面包是你亲手切的,我爱你是你亲口对我说的。
