 Strategies That Can be Used to Implement Positive Lifestyle Practices

Starting off new journeys and making habits so customary they become apart of our daily

lives is usually never easy. However, it can be made easier if we approach implementing

positive lifestyle practice from a strategic point of view. To implement lifestyle practices

that are positive into our daily lives strategies such as staying committed to the process,

celebrating your little victories each step of the way and genuinely love and enjoy the

process. While these are not the only strategies that can be used to implement positive life

practices, it is important to start with the individual and establish a deep connection with the

goal that was set to be attained.

Firstly, it is important to stay committed to the process. It is often that we start off a new

process quite excited, having long list of things to accomplish. At some point we become

obsessed with the outcome rather than the journey to the outcome. It is quite frustrating to be

putting in the work and dedication and to seemingly yield small. In the case of loosing and

maintaining a certain weight, it takes time firstly to lose the weight and commitment to the

process to maintain the desired weight. Staying committed means keep trying even when it

feels like the outcome is not yet happening, being discipline enough to commit to a schedule

and follow it and having someone that can hold you accountable for staying connected to the

process.

Secondly it is very important to have a positive attitude towards the process each step of the

way. This can be in the form of celebrating small victories. Even recording these victories is a

powerful way and tool of motivation towards the desired goal. For example, using the

example of weight gain, if weight is taken and recorded before and after fixed time periods

the individual is fully involved in the change that is taking place. This is very motivating
because humans often interpret success as positive changes in accordance to the goal. Hence

a person who weighs 230lbs would be motivated to continue the process of implementing

exercise as apart of their daily lifestyle if their weight is now 200lbs. Therefore, as can be

seen, the strategy of celebrating small victories to the goal often encourages one to continue

which results in habits being implemented in daily lifestyle,

Lastly it is important that the journey is enjoyed. Genuinely enjoying the process is important

in allowing one to continue in a process so that it becomes a habit in everyday life. When

someone is doing something, they do not enjoy it is most often a burden and can result in a

burnout. Taking pictures, inviting others along the journey, doing it at your favorite time of

the day when possible are all ways to ensure you enjoy the new journey to a better lifestyle.

To sum it all up, there are many strategies to implementing better lifestyle practices into

one’s daily life. However, it is important to start with the individual so that a strn=ng bond is

developed through love for the process, positive attitudes towards the process, staying

committed to the process and enjoying the process ad results each step of the way. When an

has bonded with the process of having a better lifestyle changes will be seen.
