Transition Tip 5--Get Support

Making a lifestyle change can be difficult.  This is especially true when transitioning to eating vegan because we live in a world where the consumption of meat is the norm.  In society today, it is strange to not consume animals at least chicken and fish.  But, this perspective is becoming rare as more and more people shift to a plant based diet. 

To help transition to eating vegan, I recommend that you get support.  Find those people in your life to cheer you on and give you positive energy.  Sometimes those people are hard to find in our day to day life.  For me, that person is my mother.  She tried my recipes, drank the juices, listened to my vegan rants, and all the while she supported my lifestyle change. 

Maybe your partner or family member does not want to make the transition to eating vegan with you, or maybe your family and friends are not supportive.  They may try to sabotage you.  Stay focused and have a well-stocked pantry, so you can always make something vegan to eat.    

Although, this lifestyle is more prevalent in society, it is difficult for vegans to find each other.  So how do you get support if you cannot find them in your day to day life?  The answer to that question is to: read books about eating vegan; subscribe to vegan magazines; find vegan websites where you can find recipes and message boards; join a vegan society/meet-up or start one in your town; go on the youtube and watch videos  promoting the vegan lifestyle; reach out to the universe, and the universe will provide the support you need. 
Message me or post a comment, and let me know how your transition is going.  I'd like to hear how yo uare doing.  Take care of yourself.  And remember eating vegan is a practice; there is not perfection.
