3)  Manage Stress

A healthy lifestyle is not just about nutrition and exercise.  What goes on in your personal life affects your eating (that’s why it’s called comfort food) and your motivation.  Stress is unhealthy and managing it is a major component of living healthily and will positively or negatively effect your resolution outcome.

If you have a stressful job or are in the midst of an un-happy relationship, find ways to cope with these nuisances or move away from them altogether.  Finding “me time” such as meditation, starting a blog, volunteering, creating an art project or riding a motorcycle.  If it makes you feel good about yourself and takes you away from the day to day difficulties, do it.  If you are stressed you are more prone to fall back into bad habits.
