Q: How do you create sustainable routines for eating and exercising and to maintain a good health? I like to exercise when I’m actually doing it, but the problem is finding motivation to begin. I’d also like to eat healthier than I do now, but where do I begin? I don’t want to look upon a healthy lifestyle as something distant and unreachable. I want to create one right now!

A: Hi, Lisa! I think the key is to make a decision and then learn to do one or two new things at the same time. Not 10! It is possible to form new habits, but it takes some time and patience and effort. When you look upon that road that leads to whatever destination you want to reach, it can be overwhelming and long if you try to make it in one drive, but if you stop a few times along the way … maybe it can even be enjoyable?
