If you are looking for an exterior change in your body such as weight loss, focus on the interior first. There are two elements to look at when wanting to make a change to be healthier. The first of these is making sure you understand where your motivation for change is coming from. If it is coming from an external source the chances of being successful can be slim, however when the motivation comes from within and you want to change for yourself, you will be more successful in making your change. When it comes to exercise or dieting try to refrain from thinking “I have to” and start thinking “I need to”; this keeps you focused on your initial motivation as to why and not on the results.
