Ep 7: Six Strategies for Making Exercise a Healthful Habit

3/29/2019

 
Welcome to Discover Solutions, Feel Better Podcast. I’m your host Dr. Theresa Lewis. I’m a psychologist who’s passionate about helping people discover solutions and feel better, and I have so much to share with you to help you with your health and wellness goals.

In Episode 7 I will be giving you practical tips to help your exercise plan stick! Our bodies were made to move and we need to do just that. Spring has sprung so if you have been inactive during the winter, now is the best time to get moving - as exercise is the number one self-help tool to relieve anxiety, stress, and depression; and to help manage ADHD, and improve our cognitive abilities.

Exercise doesn't have to mean rigorous athletic exertion. You can find small ways to be more active throughout the day. Just like any good habit, you've got to come up with ways to build it into your life. In today's episode, I will review the following 6 strategies for making exercise a healthful habit. 
  • Goal Setting
  • Bundling
  • Rainbow Thinking
  • Flexibility
  • Social influences
  • Bet on it

Most of all, remember to motivate yourself with kindness and love rather than self-criticism. So give these strategies a try and let me know how it goes. You can do it. 

I'll be back soon with more inspiration to help you Discover Solutions and Feel Better. Until then, be well, be you and breathe.
