9. Stretch- stretching can keep your muscles feeling relaxed and also helps to relieve stress.


10. Follow the food guide- The health professionals made the daily food chart for a reason. Try to get 2 servings of fruit, five servings of fruit, dairy and protein each day.


11. Reward yourself (in moderation)- a weekly treat is necessary for all your hard work to remain healthy. Treat yourself to something you love like low fat ice cream or chocolate. On the path to self-improvement, there is always time to stop and eat dessert.

Reaching your Goals: Self-Improvement and Success 1

One of the best ways to self improve is to accomplish your goals. This can lead to pride, to self-respect and to a better sense of responsibility. 86. Recognise your own path- when it comes to reaching your goals and improving your life, you need to be the leader. You are in control of what you want and your goals should come down to you and you alone.

Look for adult activities such as soccer teams, book clubs, rowing clubs or bird watching groups.

Does this sound like your pattern to life, or something similar? Break it up. - Find a Balance- it's all about harmony. Finding that perfect balance comes down to mind, body and spirit.

body. If you are going to drink, drink responsibility. Make sure you have a designated driver or cab ride and drink plenty of water throughout the night. 14. Don't neglect your oral hygiene- make it a habit to brush, floss and use sugar-free, alcohol-free mouthwash daily. Make a trip to the dentist once a year too. No one likes going to the dentist- but no one wants to lose his or her teeth either. 15. De-stress- remaining healthy is not just about go, go, go. You also need to stop, relax and re-stress. Stress is unavoidable at some times. The best way to deal with stress is to push away from it for a few minutes, let your body relax, and then tackle it head on. 16. Invest in Sleep- you don't need us to tell you how important sleep is. This is why it's a good idea to reward yourself at night with expensive sheets, a perfectly firm mattress and cosy down covers. Your bed is your battery recharger. Make sure it's in tip-top condition. 17. Get creative with foo...
