A Healthier You in 2013
May 2013 be your healthiest, happiest year!
Whatever your New Year’s resolutions might be, we know how difficult it is to keep them. Research shows that late January signals the trailing off of fitness club visits, healthy eating commitments, and vows to live with less stress.
Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions with These 5 Steps:
1. Do it for you.
The most important part of change is your will to do so. If you change for someone else, you will most likely find it harder to maintain your intention to change. Do what you want to do. Do it for you. You deserve it.
2. Be realistic: change one thing at a time.
Keep it simple and change one thing at a time. It is challenging enough to change one behavior, and taking on too much can disperse your focus and motivation. Stay focused on one change, and follow through. Through your success, you will find the energy and belief in yourself to do anything you set your mind to!
3. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.
Before January 1st, write a list of everything you are grateful for. You might want to change something, but focus on the many things that you love, and appreciate. A focus on gratitude gives you strength and a love for yourself that makes it easier to change what you find undesirable. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself when you succeed, AND when you fail. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
4. Make a plan.
Create a plan of action to reach your goal. If you want to eat healthier food, you might create a healthier weekly meal plan. Shop when you are feeling full and content, and choose your groceries carefully. Research healthy, easy recipes online, and create action steps for your success. It may be helpful to consult a nutritionist, or enroll friends and family in your plan so they can support you along the way.
5. Recommit to your goal each day.
One of the biggest challenges for maintaining and reaching goals is to remember the goal. It sounds silly, but the human mind is forgetful, easily distracted, and loves to make excuses. Leave a note with your goal by your bedside, and read it twice daily, morning and evening. Ask yourself if you still want this goal, and recommit to it daily. This will keep your goal top of mind throughout your day, and throughout your state of rest.
Ito En Healthy Living Tip for 2013
HEALTH IN A CAN – quick, strong and invigorating
Instead of your usual morning coffee, we recommend SENCHA SHOT, the Japanese equivalent of an espresso shot - highly antioxidant green tea in a can. You’ll find this tasty beverage quick, strong, invigorating and healthy! With 152 millgrams of the powerful tea polyhenol-Catechin,this green tea has depth of flavor, body, and a robust mouthfeel. Even espresso-lovers will become fans. For a milder flavor, try our Oolong Shot.
So let me tell you about my experience with these green tea shots. I will be honest. The first time I drank one, I almost couldn't get it down. There is no sweetener added, and I am not a fan of tea without sweetener. The drink did give me energy, but I wasn't sure I ever wanted to try them again.
Well, the joys of being a blogger--I knew I had to! So I decided this time to mix the tea shot with something else I had on hand. I happened to have a little fruit-flavored drink packet, and so this is what I did. I poured the tea shot into a glass, mixed a little water, and added the drink packet. And guess what! It was pretty good! So here is what I recommend. If you don't like the first taste, mix it with a drink packet or fruit juice, or maybe just add some sweetener. The tea has good flavor. It just needs something else, in my opinion.
