Prioritise You!

THE FIT AND FANTASTIC FOUNDER OF LORNA JANE SHARES THE EIGHT WAYS TO A HAPPIER YOU

Deciding to make your health a priority doesn’t have to be about hard work or sacrificing the things you love. Instead it should be about choosing health promoting rituals that make you feel amazing. And the best way to start is by implementing small changes, determining what you can’t live without, then being consistent. We have to learn to pay attention to our bodies and create our own rules based on how we want to live our lives, while making peace with the realities of modern life. It’s about making good decisions about our health and wellbeing. Here are Lorna Jane Clarkson’s eight steps to get you started...

1 Prioritise your health

One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to sit down and prioritise your health. Look at your life and be honest about what you are willing to do (and not do) in order to move closer to better health and wellbeing. By being honest, you’re more likely to stick to (and enjoy!) your plan rather than getting overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations.

2 Avoid Negativity

I look at positivity as a ‘super power’ and find that spending more time with people who lift me up helps to keep negativity at bay. Being around people who are more positive causes a shift in energy; you start to believe in yourself and your plans a little more, and everything in your life becomes more positive. You also start to see opportunities and are more resilient because you’re not drawn into negativity and self-doubt. Plus, being around positive energy is just more fun!
