How can you persevere on your health and fitness journey?
The Seven of Wands knows that you have the strength and determination to persevere on your health and fitness journey. Here are some tips on how you can do it.
Take it one step at a time.
When trying to improve your health, it is best to begin with only one thing at a time.
For example, instead of completely changing your diet and cutting out all of the things you're used to eating, cut out only one thing at a time. After your body adjusts to that one small change, begin to make another one.
It's okay to start with baby steps.
It's okay to start with just baby steps when you're new to fitness and want to increase your physical activity. You don't need to go out and run a marathon right off the bat.
It could be as simple as taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator or going for a brief 10-minute walk every day. You can increase it as your body adjust and build up to reaching your end health and fitness goal.
