We always find ourselves having too many reasons not to do any exercise, such as the popular phrase “I don’t have the time,” than having the right reason to stay fit and healthy. One of the reasons why is because of the lack of motivation that we give to ourselves, resulting in producing more excuses to excuse ourselves in doing some exercise.
So, the best way to avoid having excuses is to find our motivation in doing what we needed to do. We should identify the reasons why we stick to things, and why most people delay taking action.
No Shortcuts We want to save time and effort, so we tend to choose convenient and readily available foods like fast food and processed meats. In the office, instead of walking to meet your boss or co-worker, you use your mobile phone to call or text.
There are no shortcuts to healthy living, because you will have to spend time and effort. But there are ways to make exercise more accessible and realistic, given your lifestyle. And when it comes to healthy eating, you need planning and preparation. In fact, the simpler the food, the lesser the calories, and the healthier it is.
Modify your environment. According to latest Wellness Philippines news, do not make unhealthy eating easy. Just keep healthy foods in your kitchen, like oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, wheat bread, and seasoned lean meat and fish ready for steaming, grilling or boiling.
Do It Now! Filipinos love to eat lechon skin and chicharon because the taste and crunchiness make them feel good. Younger people look forward to going out on a Friday night to wine and dine at their favorite restaurants because it’s fun.
Most people consider exercise and healthy eating punishments for their overeating, something hard and painful. Of course, if you see these healthy practices negatively, you will always find excuses.
The approach is to make healthy eating and exercise pleasant and positive experiences, such as if you enjoy doing things with friends or family, then exercise or start a healthy eating program with them.
For the Family Most people, especially mothers, choose to use their free time for the family rather than spend it on physical activities. But embracing a healthy Philippines Lifestyle means doing something for yourself, so you can give more love to your family.
Start a physical activity so you can do more and will always be at your best when you spend time with your kids and your husband. And, being a good role model of healthy living will inspires your loved ones. It is hard to encourage your kids to be more active and eat vegetables if they do not see you doing these things.
