DEAR COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS

5 June 2020 

As we integrate level three into our lifestyle, we become aware of the opportunity to create and maintain healthy habits.
 

Here are a few tips to help you integrate habits into your day-2-day:
 

  • Start with an incredibly small habit. "Make it so easy you can’t say no." - Leo Babauta 
  • Increase your habit in very small ways. "Success is a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgement, repeated every day." - Jim Rohn
  • When you slip, get back on track quickly. "The best way to improve your self-control is to see how and why you lose control." - Kelly McGonigal 


Be patient and maintain a pace you can sustain. 

We are standing by to assist you and bring you peace of mind wherever your food endeavours may take you. 

Regards,
The FACTS team
