Journal that Feeling!

The changes required to lose weight, get your chronic illness under control, or simply just feel better may seem difficult, so many times, we never begin the journey at all. We want you to conquer your goals, and we like to give you small "do-able" habits that are simple and easy to continue. We want to set you up for success, and deprivation isn't part of the plan. The first step on the road to wellness is being aware of how you feel both physically and emotionally.

Journaling what you are thinking and feeling will help. If you think it, track it; joy, excitement, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, fear, irritability, forgetfulness. If you feel it, reveal it: aches, pains, sleepy, gains, bloating, gas, cramps, headaches, sore throat, itchy skin, fingers, sore feet.

Journaling can be as simple or as complicated as you choose to make it. Here's a great list of steps for a beginner: mellowed.com/journaling-for-beginners/
