JAKARTA – In implementing a healthy lifestyle, it does not have to be by suddenly making big changes. Starting a healthy lifestyle can start with small habits that are done consistently.
Founder & Coach SANA Studio, Laila Munaf, said that lack of knowledge is not a problem to start a healthy life, but rather a matter of motivation and the initial way to start the change.
“Laziness or the desire to seek instant comfort makes a person prefer activities that require minimal effort,” said Laila, at the five-year anniversary of the AIA Vitality wellness program, in Menteng, Jakarta, on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
Laila said that the spirit to live a healthy lifestyle is usually very high at the beginning. However, when the expected changes are not visible, then the motivation can decrease and finally healthy habits just stop.
Therefore, it is important to make small changes to habits first that are realistic and easy to do every day. With this step, a healthy lifestyle is easier to implement and long-term.
The small habits are like getting used to drinking enough water every day, reducing the consumption of sweet drinks, to start doing light exercise.
“For example, by getting used to drinking enough water, reducing the consumption of sugary drinks, sleeping more regularly, or starting to exercise lightly several times a week,” he explained.
In addition, having other supporting factors is also important to continue to be consistent in living a healthy lifestyle. Such as participating in an incentive health and fitness program, namely with AIA Vitality from PT AIA Financial (AIA Indonesia).
In this program, customers will be given knowledge, motivation and as an infrastructure to help change their lifestyle to be healthier, longer, and better.
“This program helps customers build healthy habits that are protected, which ultimately reduces long-term health risks, while strengthening the sustainability of the protection ecosystem,” said AIA Indonesia’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kathryn Parapak.
With this program, one can also strengthen the sense of togetherness through various community activities, which can further motivate healthy lifestyle changes.
Such as the AIA Vitality Women’s 10K on April 26, 2026 at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) and AIA Vitality Live, which brings together thousands of participants in a positive space that celebrates movement and fitness.
“Social media, fitness communities, and easier access to wellness information have encouraged many Indonesians to take small but meaningful steps towards a healthier life. Programs like AIA Vitality provide accountability and rewards that make healthy habits feel easier and more enjoyable,” concluded Laila Munaf.
