How to Thrive in Health and Confidence in 2022

Over the last couple of years, we’ve learned a lot about perseverance, patience and gratitude. Now it’s time to take those lessons and use them to implement healthy habits so you can conquer your goals. It’s safe to say that there will be hurdles ahead, but we’ve also learned that the “heavy lifts” are what make us stronger — physically and emotionally.

Keep in mind - whatever you choose to do to level up in 2022, doesn’t have to be a big power move! Even the smallest change, the tiniest baby step forward can snowball into a huge, positive effect on your life. Here are 7 ways to make 2022 your healthiest and strongest year yet!

SET YOUR INTENTION

Intentions are like a declaration that we are ready for change - choose a word or saying of the year that resounds with you, display it in your space to keep you motivated!

BABY STEPS

Setting too many goals or unrealistic expectations of ourselves is common of New Year’s Resolutions. Remember that small changes, done regularly, are easier to integrate into your lifestyle — and they quickly compound to big changes. Instead of trying to force multi-hour-long workouts, try following a program that offers shorter functional training workouts that leave you feeling stronger, invigorated, and accomplished.

PRACTICE GRATITUDE

Write down 3 things you’re grateful for each day. Taking the time to acknowledge all the things you are grateful for is one of the most beneficial additions you can make to your day. These don’t have to be huge things, in fact, they shouldn’t be. It can be as simple as enjoying the sun shining on your face – writing them down and appreciating them is where the magic happens.

HEALTHY EATING MINDSET

Instead of looking for what you should eliminate from your diet, consider taking the opposite approach and searching for things you should add. Manage your portions and make positive additions, like adding more protein to your plate and increasing your intake of fruits and veggies.

PLANT-BASED RECIPES

Even if you’re not ready to go completely meat-free, you can still add more vegetarian and vegan recipes to your weekly meal plan. Integrate more plant-based protein sources, such as beans, nuts, and seeds to reap the health and immunity rewards they provide.

IT’S A TEAM EFFORT

Enlist the help of an accountability partner or coach, where you can be cheered on and kept on track. It’s so much easier to stay on track when you have milestone checkpoints that you have to report to.

BE ADAPTABLE

Life happens, it’s a fact! So be prepared to change your meal plan on the fly, get your movement done when you’re not in your own space and set boundaries that allow you to honour the goals you’ve set for yourself.
