We are busy people and the load isn’t getting any lighter – unless we lighten it. So let’s be real. We cannot, will not change everything to improve our condition, but we can make four changes that have the potential to makeover life as we know it. Follow these small steps (only one a week) for the next month and you may find yourself in the Zen place you crave.

Week one starts with a doozy, but you can do it and the results will fuel you on to complete your life makeover. It’s the D word. Diet. But don’t go running, we promised simple and we deliver. Instead of jumping on yet another diet fad, simply rethink your approach to eating. Even healthy eaters want to see improvements in their body. Begin by cutting serving sizes to reasonable amounts. If you have the will power, only eat half of what’s served in restaurants. If you’re like most of us who love to finish our plate, ask for a to-go container when your food arrives. For dinners at home, simply prepare less and/or serve meals on smaller plates. As soon as you’re done eating, brush your teeth or chew sugar free gum. Fresh breath reduces the temptation to continue to pick at leftovers. You know you’re done when you stop eating and take a deep breath. That’s your body’s internal signal that you’ve had enough. At the end of week one you feel better and you may have dropped a pound or two.
