1. Resolutioners to Lifestylers: Make the Transition Daily
In every wellness initiative and program, the end result is for participants to experience behavioral change. The World Health Organization claims, "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
A resolution begins when an individual develops an internal resolve to complete a goal. A lifestyle habit is defined as, “a set of attitudes, habits or possessions associated with a particular person or group.” To combine those thoughts into an introspective piercing question, when does the inside ambition match the outside practice? What is the bridge between a resolution and a habit?
There is probably not one clear answer for everyone, as a certain # of repetitious cycles do not fit all people. Meaning, there is not one magic number to repeat something and then it becomes part of your regular life. It may take repeating a task 9 times for some, 21 for others, or for some it just tends to come and go. So, what's the magic pill? The truthful answer is that pill does not exist. Now before depression sets in, allow me to offer a very practical solution. Here are the 4 must haves for continued transformation:
1. The want (desire)
2. The right plan (personalized)
3. The right place (at your work :)
4. The right accountability (we are not giving up on anyone)
The level of accomplishment from each of these 4 will be directly dependent upon the engagement of each. Hitting all 4 simultaneously, as best you can, will produce the highest level of intended behavior. Micro habits affect macro habits. They might be all changing at the same time, as every bit counts. Even if you are burnt out from the "start-n-stop", you can reboot and restart, as every day is new!
Q: Which dog in the fight will win?
A: The one you feed the most.
The more you practice the more it will become who you are. Don't quit on yourself. Never, never, never. Take that towel that you are tempted to throw in, wipe the blood & sweat off with it, and get back in the game!
Richard Smith, Ph.D., claims, “Successful major changes often result from taking small, repeated actions first. To change your life in a big way, find some small wins.” For additional reading, check out Dr. Smith’s article on Micro Actions Can Lead to Macro Changes by clicking on the link below.
#EVERYBITCOUNTS!

5). Metabolism Myths Busted
- Eating more frequently by itself will not rev up the body’s metabolism. Keep in mind that the overall total number of calories you take in, NOT how often you eat is what counts.
- Your metabolism only SLIGHTLY decreases with each decade of life! Do not use this as an excuse for added weight gain! Keep moving!
- Increasing muscle mass is important for protecting bones and joints. Keep in mind however, adding 2 pounds of muscle mass to your body will only burn an additional 13 calories daily when not exercising!
