Our healthy January challenge will ease you into a healthier 2021, one small step at a time.
It’s tempting to jump into the New Year with a long list of ambitious goals. But how many times have you made the same old resolutions, only to find yourself feeling overwhelmed or demotivated a few days in? We’ve all been there! This New Year, scrap those guilt-inducing resolutions and aim for small, positive lifestyle tweaks and changes instead. Our healthy January challenge is a great way to ease into a healthy 2021 and discover a few new healthy habits to focus on for the year ahead.
Purition once a day, plus a daily micro-change from our healthy advent calendar.
What? Micro-changes are tiny tweaks you can make on a daily or weekly basis, from food, to mindset, to movement. The result? Accumulated better health, diet & lifestyle, without even feeling like you’re changing all that much.
How? Throughout January, enjoy Purition for one of your daily meals and open a new door on the healthy January advent calendar below. Try your best to complete the small daily challenge found within, or just use it as a source of inspiration and focus on one, two or a few that you feel you’d get the most from.
Why? Because we know that small, simple and realistic micro-changes to your diet and lifestyle are the easiest to sustain.
