Writing for Empowher on heart health has been a personal eye-opener for me. I've not only had a wonderful time writing BUT have learned so much! It really made me realize just how great my personal risk for heart disease actually was and I didn't like what I saw! I'm just getting started at living!
I also have to admit that there was a part of me that was skeptical - would simply making lifestyle changes really make a difference? Like you said, I tend to overthink and do nothing because I'm overwhelmed. This really seemed too easy.
But, it just felt dishonest of me as a writer not to take my own advice so I bit the bullet and gave it a try.
I am so absolutely PLEASED about the results! I think that I've found a lifestyle change that works for me and that I can make a permanent part of my life. The outcome so far has given me the confidence now to believe that I can make even more changes!
This experiment in taking my own advice has turned out to be a real win on many levels for me. I really hope that if other women know that a middle-aged, stay-puff-marshmallow-girl like me who hates diet, exercise and sweat can do it, then anyone can!
