Hey guys! As you know, Christmas is coming up quickly and as of today there are 12 days left until the big day! Crazy, right? Anyways, in keeping with the festive theme, I decided to do a spin on “The 12 days of Christmas”. Each day for the next 12 days, I’ll post one awesome way that you can be healthier! I hope that these posts help you to find time to practice healthy habits, even though our teen lives are pretty busy with school, sports, and friends (I can tell you from experience!). Today is Day 1, and here is my first awesome way to be healthier!

Make It Easy.

What I think is the first step to leading a healthier lifestyle is making it easy to do so.  Sometimes when we’re rushing from sport to sport or frantically putting school lunches together in the morning, it’s easy to grab a wagon wheel or a pizza pop and call it a day. The key to being healthy lies in one thing: making time for it. If you know you won’t have time to prepare a healthy snack in-between sports practices, make one ahead and bring it with you. If you have a hard time putting together a good lunch in the morning, make it the night before. This way, it becomes easier and easier to grab a healthy option, and it’s less stressful as well;). Same goes for exercise, sleep, and pretty much everything else I’ll talk about over the next 12 days. If you don’t make time for it, it won’t happen, and that’s that.

There you go! Day 1 complete! Come back tomorrow for Day 2’s post, as well as my recipe for healthy and tasty homemade granola. Bye!
