Tip #3 - Daily walk
I have always liked the idea of walking but have always struggled to incorporate it into my life. I made the decision every- single- day to silence the inner voice that was telling me to chill. Before I knew it, one day turned into two, then three. Three days then turned into three months! I'm still going strong today! Here's what I noticed:
Increased energy levels
Toner appearance of the body
Elevated mood
A sense of accomplishment
Increased drive to tackle other goals
An increased appreciation for the good people in this world (thanks to all my fellow, friendly, walking neighbors who wave, smile, and nod)
