Liam’s “I’ve Got This!” Plan

One Monday morning, Liam decided:
“I’m going to be healthier!”

He gave himself a giant high-five. (Go ahead—give yourself one too!)
“That felt good,” Liam said.

At first, he wanted to change everything:

• No more soda!

• Eat only healthy food forever!

• Wake up super early to exercise!

• Get exactly 8 hours of sleep every night!

But then Liam remembered…
Even superheroes can’t save the world in one day.
Trying to do too much at once is like trying to play soccer, eat lunch, and do homework all at the same time—it just doesn’t work.

Level 1: One Step at a Time

Liam picked ONE thing to start with—moving his body more.
His plan: 15 minutes of play after school, three days a week.
Once that felt easy, he could “level up” to the next healthy habit.

Healthy habits are like video game levels: beat one, then move on to the next.
Before long, you’re a Healthy Habits Champion!

Why Small Steps Win the Game

Trying to do too much is like eating a HUGE sandwich in one bite—you’ll probably give up before you even taste it.
Small steps are easier, more fun, and they stick.

And here’s the secret:
Being healthy isn’t a race.
There’s no finish line—just a little better every single day.

Liam’s Stay-on-Track Tricks

• Plan it: Choose a time—like after school or before dinner.

• Do it: Start small but keep showing up!

• Track it: Use a sticker chart, checklist, or tell a friend to cheer you on.

• Celebrate it: High-five yourself, do a silly dance, or shout “I’ve got this!”

Start Small, Go Big

You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to start.
One small change today leads to another tomorrow… and another after that.

Just like Liam, soon you’ll be saying:
“I’ve got this!”
