How To Develop Healthy Habits

We all have habits.

Whether they are good or bad. Preferably, we would all like to have more good habits than bad ones.

What we do EVERY DAY, matters more than what we do every once in a while.

Habits can make us, or break us.

It’s time to start HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS and stick with them!

 

 

How To Create Lasting Habits

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” — Aristotle

We all want to be the best versions of ourselves.

There are so many great habits we can incorporate into daily routines that will make a huge difference in overall lives.

Let’s just be honest though, we are busy creatures!

Of course, we have the best intentions to be the best versions of ourselves, but it can take a while to actually get around to doing it.

TO COMMIT!

We all know the things we should be doing more of: drinking water, exercising, saving money, reading more… But like I said, we are busy!

We will continue to KNOW that we need to incorporate more healthy habits in our lives, but without making a conscious daily HABIT, we will never be our best.

We need to create lasting habits that are good for our well-being!

 

 

How To Make A Habit Stick

There are many healthy habits we should all start doing, and it can be a bit overwhelming to figure out how to start. 

Keep it simple and start small.

Once it is a daily routine then we can incorporate a new goal.

Research shows that starting a new habit can take anywhere from 19 days to 6 months.

Many experts have proven the popular myth it takes 21 days to form a habit to not be true for everyone.

Everyone is different and it all depends on the habit you are trying to start.

Of course, small and simple habits will be easier to achieve.

Create Healthy Lifestyle Habits

So first make a list of all the things you would like to incorporate into your daily routine.

Then pick ONE. Yes, JUST ONE.

Choose something simple. Aim small, miss small.

You will have a much better chance of making this into an actual lifestyle habit if it’s small and simple.

Keep a habit tracker, because writing it down will help you.

Then do this EVERY DAY. Make no excuses and hold yourself accountable.

Write a reminder every day if you need to. Use an alarm on your phone.

Or use sticky notes or a habit tracker printable, and put it on your refrigerator, or put it in your planner.

Remind yourself EVERY DAY.

At first, you will need to be reminded, but in as little as 1 month of doing this every day, you will no longer need that reminder.

YOU WILL HAVE MADE A HABIT.

A HEALTHY HABIT that will reap future benefits!
