Beginning of the year is the time to start something new, including healthy living habits. But the difficult thing is not to start, but how to maintain it. How to?
"If we want to really change, it is necessary to look for ways to keep motivated or excited to do this so that it can last a long time," said Craig Harper, as quoted from Abc.net.au:
Harper said that the first step that should be applied is to accept yourself that the changes made will cause inconvenience, for example, had to get up early to exercise or avoid foods that are favored.
"By accepting the inconvenience that would happen, we would be much easier to prepare when facing the challenges when making these changes," said Harper.

Also try to ask yourself which way is best done with regard to genetic factors, age and personality he has. This can affect how easy or fast someone change his habits.
A study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology found by doing the same thing for 18-254 days then automatically the activity will become a regular habit and increasingly easy to do from time to time.
For that there are some things that can help a person maintain healthy habits, namely:
1. Do not try to change too much or at once, but start from small things
2. Have a strong reason why you should make these changes and say to yourself 'I really have to do it'.
3. Know what benefits can be obtained if successfully make these changes
4. Take the time to make new habits, such as waking up one hour early.
5. Make something that can be a powerful reminder, for example by writing the purpose of these changes in the walls of the room or put an image depicting the results to be gained.
6. Monitor the progress that is intended to have, for example, through a diary or record of routine activities.
