Now is the time to start enjoying a healthier, happier life. Many often fail to achieve a goal because they do not know where and how to begin. The day-to-day choices may help determine the changes you want to make, come up with a plan and believing you can do it.

1. Select a goal. Aim for the habit that is best for you and choose a small action that is doable and with baby steps.

2. Hold yourself accountable for your goal choice. Do not blame others or your lack of time in doing it.

3. Remove the negative triggers that stops you from achieving that change. If social media is a hindrance, then do not use it.

4. Believe that you can change. Visualize yourself succeeding. Remove the pessimism.

5. Accept that it will take time, and that you will encounter setbacks. Changing is not easy, and often you will fail. Take this as a boost to continue working hard.
