Tips for Physical Wellness

• Look for ways to integrate exercise and physical activity into your daily routine:  Start small by taking the stairs instead of the elevator.  Choose the parking space furthest away from the door.  Avoid circling around until you find the closest spot.
• Think about what you are putting into your body:  Aim for a balanced and varied diet that includes lots of unprocessed high-fiber foods that are low in saturated fats (e.g., fruits, vegetables, whole grains).  Drink a lot of water.  Avoid sugary juices and soda.
• Surround yourself with positive messages and role models:  Spend time around people who feel good about their bodies and treat their bodies with respect.  Place inspirational quotes within view and avoid over-exposure to unrealistic media messages about how our bodies should look.
