Lifestyle changes are a process that takes time and requires support. Here are five tips from the American Psychological Association to help you make lasting, positive lifestyle and behavior changes.

Make a plan that will stick.

Your plan is a map that will guide you on this journey of change. 1. Want to exercise more? Detail the time of day when you can take walks and how long you’ll walk. Write anything down, and ask yourself if you’re confident that these activities and goals are realistic for you.

Start small.

After you’ve identified realistic short-term and long-term goals，break down your goals into small，manageable steps that can be measured. If your long-term goal is to lose 20 pounds within the next five months, a good weekly goal would be to lose one pound a week. 2.

Change one behavior at a time.

Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time, so replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones requires time. Many people run into problems when they try to change too much or too fast. 3.

4.

Whether it is a friend, co-worker or family member，someone else on your journey will keep and motivated and accountable. Perhaps it can be someone who will go to the gym with you or someone who is also trying to stop smoking.

Ask for support.

Accepting help from those who care about you and will listen strengthens your commitment. If you feel unable to meet your goals on your own, consider seeking help from psychologists.

Making changes takes time and commitment, but you can do it. 5. Minor missteps on the road to your goals are normal and okay. Resolve to recover and get back on track.

A. When making your plan, be specific.
