It doesn’t have to be everything all at once. Lasting changes are only ever achieved gradually. Slow and steady. Gradual return to drinking more water. Gradual return to activity. And then Patience to let time go by.

You don’t have to decide anything. You don’t even have to work at it (yet). The main thing is to choose one thing and make it easy on yourself (example: drink 3 more cups of water per day), and then follow through.

Do one easy addition to your day for 3 weeks. Then add just one more *easy* thing. And repeat. Keep going from there. Fall in love with the PROCESS.

Here’s to going easier on ourselves and taking time for ourselves in 2025 ❤️

In the winter months, working out is especially critical. Exercise boosts the body's defenses against colds and flu, conditions and strengthens us to help prevent injury, and stabilizes balance while walking over snow and ice. (Besides, if we waited for perfect conditions, we'd never get anything done!)
