As you enter this fresh chapter, make a commitment to prioritise your health and well-being. Embracing simple, healthy habits can have a profound impact on your life, making this year the best one yet. 

At Nutrition Queensland, we believe that taking care of your health should be enjoyable, filled with laughter and positivity. So, what would you like this year to look like? Let's explore 7 fun and healthy habits to kickstart the new financial year with a fresh sense of vitality and happiness!

Do you sometimes fall into the trap of taking life a little too seriously? It's important to recognise that when you feel like you are being a little too rigid, uptight or frustrated, to just let go and have some fun. Laughter is a powerful tool for improving how you feel and can actually help you with your health goals. Laughter reduces stress, boosts your mood, and even strengthens your immune system. 

Incorporate laughter into your daily routine by sharing funny videos or jokes with friends, attending comedy shows, if you have kids you can muck around with them and importantly surround yourself with people who make you smile and create moments of fun in your day. At Nutrition Queensland, we definitely believe that laughter is the best medicine for a healthier, happier you!

This new financial year, make a promise to trust yourself and your decision-making abilities. Fully embrace the belief that you have the power to make positive changes and create a healthy lifestyle. Surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, or even a nutritionist from Nutrition Queensland who can guide and inspire you along the way. Trusting in your choices will give you the confidence to make healthier food choices, stay committed to your goals, and achieve lasting results.

Regular exercise is a big part to achieving your body and health goals. Find an exercise routine that suits your preferences and schedule. Whether it's joining a gym, taking up a dance class, going for a run or stretching, find an activity that is enjoyable for you and gets your body moving. 

You might find resistance to exercising at the start of your journey but push through it and you won't regret it! Exercise not only helps you feel lighter and more energised but also improves cardiovascular health, makes you happier, and helps to give you a beautiful body. Remember, consistency is key, so commit to a workout schedule that works for you and stick to it.

Creating a healthy environment plays a very important role in achieving your goals. Take a look at your pantry and remove any tempting treats like ice cream, chocolates, or sugary snacks that may derail your progress. Instead, replace them with healthier options like fruits, nuts, or low-sugar alternatives like homemade protein bars. 

By changing your routine and removing these temptations from your surroundings, you'll find it easier to make healthier choices and stay on track with your nutrition goals. Set yourself up for success by surrounding yourself with nourishing options that align with your vision for a healthier future. If you need help in this area, simply send through an email. 

In the age of constant connectivity, it's important to carve out dedicated time for you and your well-being. Identify and eliminate distractions that hinder your progress toward a healthier lifestyle. Put away your phone or turn off notifications during meal times or exercise sessions to fully focus on the present moment. Create a peaceful and inviting environment where you can prioritise self-care without interruptions. 

Let this new part of the year be a celebration of fresh, wholesome foods. Incorporate a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables into your meals to boost your energy and add vibrancy to your plate. Experiment with new recipes using local, seasonal produce available in Townsville's farmers' markets or your local farmers market. 

By adding more vegetables to your plate you will feel lighter and more energised. The fibre in vegetables aids digestion, helps you to feel full and helps you to lose or maintain a healthy weight. Be sure to fill your plate with mostly veggies and salad whilst also enjoying protein and healthy fats. By prioritising fresh, wholesome ingredients it won't be long until you feel a big change in your energy levels and happiness. 

Each day, visualise your desired outcome and embrace the belief that you are capable of achieving it because you are! 

Developing a strong belief in your desire and goal will fuel your motivation and determination. It will help you overcome challenges and setbacks that may arise along the journey. Remember, every step you take towards a healthier lifestyle is a step closer to achieving your desired outcome. Be sure not to fight with your belief, just trust that your goal is on the way and keep taking steps to achieve it. 

Take time to reflect on your progress regularly. Celebrate even the smallest victories, as they contribute to your overall success. Stay committed, stay focused, and never underestimate the power of a strong belief in yourself and your ability to create a healthier and happier future.
