Give yourself 1 week to establish 1 simple change and nothing else. Just choose one, write it down on a "post it" and stick it on your fridge as a reminder.
Once this habit feels established and natural for you, focus on a new step.
Choose what feels natural for you, something which does not require a big effort.
The key for long term success with eating patterns is to focus on fun, healthy and enjoyable food, and find out natural habit patterns that fit you.
Enjoy!
