Setting simple goal to improve your wellness

Many of us are goal-oriented in our lives, but most of our goal setting related to healthy habits starts January 1st. Why not start working on improving your health right now? The holidays can make this a bit of a challenge, but it's never too late to improve your health. Start simple and work from there.

Think about one simple thing you can do to live a healthier life. Here are some ideas:
-get 1 more hour of sleep per night
-eat 1 more cup of vegetables once a week
-eat 1 more fruit once a week
-leave some food on your plate at one meal
-do 30 more minutes of physical activity once a week
-take time once a week to stop and take 5 deep breaths
-spend 1 hour of quality family time together each week
-spend 1 hour on a hobby of your choice once a week

Your overall goal may be to eat healthier or to do more physical activity, but you have to start somewhere. Once you meet a small goal, then you can work toward a larger or more long-term goal. The idea is to start somewhere with something simple!
