Staying Motivated On The Veganism Journey

People ask me all the time how I stay sane on this journey of veganism. Here's a few tips to help you stay content and healthy

 

1. Find out where you can eat out ahead of time, especially if you're traveling from out of town. Believe it not, there are actually cities that don't have vegan restaurants.
2. Take the time to learn how to cook new dishes! Eating the same meals over and over will only make you lose your zeal. 
3. Be prepared if you go out for the day. Meal prepping is extremely Important, especially if you are just venturing off into this journey. If you know you'll be out for the day, pack lunch plus snacks and place them in a cooler in your trunk.
4. Stay informed about vegan nutrition. Everything that looks nutritious or vegan friendly, is not! Read your labels.
5. Remind yourself why you went vegan in the first place. We wont be motivated, that's when discipline kicks in and remember IT TAKES TIME!
6. Find like-minded people who wont deter from your goal of staying healthy.
7. Help out when invited to dine at a friend's house. You can use that time to introduce them to the foods in your world.
8. Call the restaurant ahead of time. There's nothing worst than eating salads at every restaurant you visit. Ask to hear about their vegan friendly recipes or look up their menu on line.
