Start small is key to all transformations.

Schedule time for sleep and honor this need. A consistent sleep routine is an important part of a balanced life. Going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day helps keep your body on a rhythm. Respect your sleep.

Eat those veggies. It can be tough to do if you’re always rushing from one thing to the next, but we’re working on slowing down. Plan meals ahead when possible. Try shopping on the weekends and washing and pre-cutting carrots and celery you can grab on the way out the door.

Get on the smoothie bandwagon. You may learn to love them and this can be a great way to get fruit, protein (if you choose to add it) and vegetables into your diet that you may not otherwise get. Spinach and greens that would not normally make it onto your breakfast plate make great smoothie additions. I promise – it still tastes great! (By the way, my friend, Farnoosh Brock, wrote a great book on smoothies. You can see it here.)

Exercise. It increases your endurance and decreases your stress. It feels good, once you get going, and just burns up extra energy that could improve your sleep. Exercise feels good, once you’re in the habit. Embrace exercise, regardless of your athletic ability or stamina.
