Happy New Year! Did you make any resolutions that have to do with your health? Resolving to make lots of changes may be in the right spirit, but making just one change at a time or small changes may mean a better chance at long-term success. The key is to not give up and to keep focused on what your motivation is for making the change.

Remember, a healthier lifestyle is based on lots of daily choices. It's up to you to choose to eat less, to take that daily walk or to stop for a few minutes of calming relaxation. And don't kid yourself; seemingly small choices are important ones and can add up to a good result — or a bad one if you always think those times you "cheat" won't matter.

Check out this issue for some other tips on making changes, starting an exercise program, making your day better and much, much more.

To your health!
