It’s difficult to feel motivated in the winter. It’s cold and gloomy, you might struggle to get up in the mornings, your body can feel heavy… On top of that, we’ve all just enjoyed days of over-indulgence (there were 30 selection boxes in our house!) so it can be tempting to continue old habits or even start new, unhealthy ones – sugar and UPFs (ultra-processed foods) are highly addictive, after all. But now is the time to set new goals and get on the healthy wagon!
Don’t try to change everything at once
Tap into the mental health benefits of exercise Thoughts like, “I hate how I look in the mirror. I’ve got to lose inches” won’t help: perhaps you’ve said it every year. Focus on the positives. How do you want to feel? Make small changes instead – go for a walk or do a little home workout. You’ll have more energy. You’ll wake up less stressed and more positive.
Get a good night’s sleep
Commit to some form of meal plan
When I have a week of unhealthy eating, I’m demotivated. I procrastinate. I don’t want to be the body coach. Just three things – sleeping well, eating healthy food and exercising – re-ignite my spark, and it will be the same for you. It’s never too late to start.
I’m constantly battling with unhealthy food and trying to stay fit and healthy. But what’s the alternative? Cravings and addiction to UPFs are so powerful. It’s easy to numb ourselves with sugar, UPFs or the smartphone in our hand. They’re all designed to give us dopamine hits.
But when it comes to goals, you need a bit of self-belief and you have to take action. It might be hard, you might have bad days. But it’s the daily, incremental progressions that will get you there.
