HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR FAMILY TO BE HEALTHIER.

If you're wondering, "How can I help my family live a healthier lifestyle?"

Let me tell you how I did it:

[THREAD]

First of all - it all starts with YOU.

If you're not making the necessary changes in your life and living proof of it,

Why will others listen?

You can't force people to change,

So how do you convince them to live a healthier lifestyle?

1. You set the tone

Setting the tone means putting the work in prior.

You've got to get RESULTS from what you've done before being an authority for change.

You can't TELL PEOPLE what to do, but you can show them WHY they should make changes.

People are too scared to change unless you can be there for them.

By showing you've done it, you can help make the path for them easier.

They need direction, and you can lead them - but it all goes back to you making the changes first!

2. It takes TIME

Be patient.

You can't get frustrated with "why aren't my family members listening to me?!?"

(Trust me ... I've been frustrated too!)

It takes time to digest what you're doing and if they want to buy in.

Also ... Take the small victories!

Here are some victories from my family:

My dad started working out
My brother's just as strong as me
Our dinner table looks a lot healthier than before

But even with the wins, we have snacks around at times.

Nothing will be perfect, but small changes are key!

Just like how it may have taken YOU time to work on lifestyle changes,

It’s the same for your family members.

They have to realize the importance of it before they catch on.

By the way ... that pic is my DAD working out!!

3. The Snowball Effect is HUGE

Things pick up quickly with more changes.

It took 8 months for the first change.

The second change took 6 months.

The third took 3 months.

Be patient for the first change to occur, but once that happens ...

The snowball REALLY picks up.

Things may seem pointless now, but stick with what you know.

If you're getting the results and your family members are catching on,

You'll soon be an influence for change.

And once one family member catches on, the others will too!

Conclusions:
- You can't tell people what to do, but you can SHOW them
- It takes time for change to occur
- Once one thing picks up, everything speeds up!

Trust me, you can influence change in your family.

All it takes is a bit of time and results on your end!
