Picture yourself in 2020. Get a clear vision for a healthier new year.
Whether you "do" New Year's resolutions or not, seeing yourself in your future is actually a great step toward achieving more out of life.
 
What do you want for yourself in the new year or new decade? Picture yourself doing it. Maybe even clip and post images as reminders of what you're working toward, little by little.
 
Changes don't have to be big to be effective. Small habits can serve you well in the long run. Take a few more steps, drink a few more ounces of water, eat one more vegetable every day. These and other healthy habits add up. Over time, you can look back and see how far you've come. It can also encourage you to keep up the good work as you get closer to your dreams.
