It’s not easy to stay motivated and be healthy each day. I’m not going to lie to you. There are days that I walk by the rack of discount holiday candy and feel my willpower slipping. It’s important to focus on your overall health and stay motivated to reach your goals.

How to Stay Motivated and Be Healthy

Being healthy is a journey. You get there one day at a time with each choice that you make. Sometimes those steps will be small choices. But, sometimes the steps will be large ones. They’re all important choices so focus on the choices you make each day. When you feel up to tackling the big ones, do that. When you only feel like making smaller choices, that’s OK too. Here are a few things that I do to stay motivated and be healthy.

Healthy food choices

It’s easy to get off track with healthy eating. Some days, I just get so busy that I don’t want to take the time to cook a healthy meal. Instead of giving into temptation and grabbing something that’s not good for me, I try to keep a few prepared healthy meals on hand like the ones from Healthy Choice.

Healthy Choice Power Bowls are made with a combination of nutrient-dense vegetables, proteins and whole grains catering to people living an active lifestyle. There is over 16g of protein and 6-8g of fiber in every bowl. Healthy Choice meals are inspired by Korean, Cuban and Latin cuisines and are made in new bowls made of plant-based fiber instead of plastic. The Adobo Chicken Bowl is definitely a favorite.

Remember self-care

Don’t skip self-care no matter how busy you are. It’s important that you take care of yourself including getting enough sleep, staying active and taking care of things like drinking enough water and brushing your teeth. You can help maintain healthy gums with ARM & HAMMER™ Peroxicare™ toothpaste!

Keep track of progress

It’s easy to lose track of how far you’ve come since you started. That’s why it’s so important that you keep track of your progress using an activity tracker like the Mio SLICE Heart Rate + Activity Tracker featuring PAI. PAI is a scientifically-validated metric based on heart rate that tells you how much activity you need to live a longer, healthier life.* The ideal goal is to maintain a PAI score of 100 or more
over a rolling 7 days, and you can do this with all types of activity, even those that don’t involve steps like biking, rowing, and fitness classes. I love that this tracker keeps track of your heart rate and not just your activity.

Don’t stop learning

I love learning new things whether it’s a new yoga pose, a different cooking technique, or learning more about my ancestors with 23andMe. You can find out where your DNA comes from around the world. Your DNA can tell you where your ancestors lived more than 500 years ago. You can even see a percentage breakdown by region, including eastern Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and more. This is a DNA test that is done using your saliva. I cannot wait to see the results of my test! You can save $20 off through 5/14 – No special code needed!

Now that you know how to stay motivated and be healthy, which step will you try first?
