When looking at a lifestyle change to become healthier, I think it is important to ask yourself a few questions. The first few questions I would ask myself would be the questions below in this picture:
When it comes to your heart this is what it needs:
Love
Play
Adventure
Community
Healthy Fats
Good clean source of protein ( the heart, is a muscular organ and can re-build itself)
Lots of veggies, 9 cups a day
Cut your caffeine intake down
Get outside more
Limit your use of TV, Movies, Cell Phone, Texting, Screen Time
Exercise
Heart Chakra:
The Heart chakra is associated with the heart, thymus gland, lower lung and circulatory system.
The heart chakra acts as the balance point for all the chakras. It governs our relationships and how we interact with other people. A balanced heart chakra is expressed in acceptance of self and others, personal values and ethics, following one's unique direction in life.
Emotional issues affecting the Heart Chakra: Love, joy, inner peace.
Some signs that the Heart Chakra is out of balance are:
Lack of self discipline
Difficulty in relationships
An attempt to live vicariously through another
Dependence on someone else for your happiness
Exercise is a must. It is important to create lifestyle habits of exercise for you and your family. You kids need to see you being active this will make a better future for them. Exercise is just something you do like brushing your teeth.

Keep your body moving though a week.
There's nothing like the feeling you get after a good, adrenaline-fueled workout -- your endorphins are high, your body is tingling and you feel way better than you did before, even if it was a total pain to motivate.
But remember, while you are enjoying your fitness routine, falling into a rut can be a drag -- especially if it starts taking a toll on your waistline. Sure, there are tons of incentives to join a new activity at the beginning of each year, but what is important is to catch the drag before it happens by finding ways to keep you motivated. If you are creating habits of quitting when you are in a rut and then not exercising for a few months (or more) this is not good for your health and chances are you will l probably get into a rut again and keep repeating this vicious cycle Finding your motivation to create an exercise lifestyle, (like brushing your teeth), will keep you healthier and fit.
Here are some suggestions to keep you from getting into a rut
Setting Goals: Belt Levels, Races, Hard hikes that you want to accomplish etc...
Have a buddy system
Hire a person trainer
Take private classes
