Time to Change Your Habits? ‘ATOMIC HABITS’ CAN HELP YOU FIND SUCCESS
There’s nothing in this world better than a book that truly lives up to its title. “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” by James Clear exceeds its expectations. If you’ve ever participated in a
“If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you,” James Clear states. “The problem is your system.” He goes on to explain that bad habits will continue to repeat themselves even if you want to change but don’t alter the habits you
become so focused on the number on the scale instead of the habits that need to change to help you to get to your desired weight. Do you need to eat healthier? Should you be spending less time mindlessly munching on snacks in front of the television and more time being active and exercising?

If you have some habits you know aren’t serving you well, pick up a copy. If you are searching for better direction in finding success, I think “Atomic Habits” will help you. “Atomic Habits” is a one-size-fits-all.

James Clear has sold over 10 million copies — but that isn’t why you should hop on the train and read it (or re-read it).

I Don’t Know What I Want to Eat! MEAL PLANNING CAN HELP WITH INDECISIVENESS
Have you ever had those days when you don’t want to cook? What about times when you’ve had a long day at work, and the last thing on your mind is dinner? Pulling out your pots, cutting boards, and food can be stressful when you’re mentally and physically weary. Is there anything you can do to make this part of your life easier? Meal planning and prepping takes the stress out of cooking! Know the answer to “What’s for dinner?”: There’s nothing more frustrating than opening your pantry, looking at the food, and not knowing what to eat. It can be draining to decide what to cook each night. But meal planning helps you determine your dishes in advance, so you never need to wonder what you and your family will WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS OF MEAL PLANNING? •
eat that night. And best of all, you only need to cook at least once a week. Keep more money in your pocket: Sometimes, when you are unsure of what you want to eat, your first option may be to order takeout. While this is a quick and easy way to get dinner, it can create a huge hole in your wallet — especially if you eat out more than once a week or feed a family. You will no longer need to make nightly food runs
reason why meal planning doesn’t work for some people. When starting out, it’s best to create easy and basic foods. Once you begin meal planning, you will discover more simplistic ways to make intricate dishes. Another reason people avoid meal prep is the amount of time spent in the kitchen. However, you will save yourself time each day, so you can continue doing what you want throughout the week and less time

while exploring the animals in action, wildlife tours, safaris, and many attractions. This is an experience that the whole family can enjoy.
OUTDOOR MUSIC Nothing quite compares to listening to music in the open air! San Diego is home to many outdoor amphitheaters and venues. This summer, be sure to check out the lineup at Waterfront Park, Petco Park, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, and Spreckels Organ Pavilion. There are many upcoming concerts — don’t miss out! BALBOA PARK Don’t forget about Balboa Park! There is always something going on, and on the off-chance that there’s not, it’s still a great place to explore, sightsee, experience art and culture, and check out the gardens and trails.

HAVE A LAUGH
You’ve Been in an Accident … Now What? 4 Vital Steps to Take Following an Accident
A common question we often hear from our clients is what should you do after an automobile or truck accident?
Right after an accident occurs, it’s only natural to feel panicked and anxious. However, not to worry! Keep this newsletter in your glove box or somewhere secure to reference in the event that an accident ever does happen! It will guide you through the steps to take to ensure you don’t miss anything important! STEP 1: IS ANYONE INJURED? Check yourself, your passengers, and all other individuals involved in the accident for injuries. If anyone is seriously injured, call 911 right away, and if you aren’t able to, ask someone else to make the call. It’s important to keep in mind that in stressful situations, injuries may not present themselves right away. STEP 2: GET A POLICE REPORT AND TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS. If the police haven’t already been called, it’s important to call them right away so they can generate a report to document the event. Be sure to also take your own photos of the accident and all of the damage. STEP 3: COLLECT ALL DRIVERS’ AND WITNESSES’ INFORMATION. This information will also be present on the police report, but it won’t hurt to gather the other involved parties’ names, addresses, phone numbers, and driver’s license numbers as well as the vehicle information and location of the accident. Use your phone to take photos to make this process easier. STEP 4: NOTIFY YOUR INSURANCE / OPEN A CLAIM. When the police leave the scene, you will be left with a report number to pass along to your insurance company to initiate a claim. When you’re in a safe place to do so, call your insurance company and they will walk you through the steps. Here at the Law Offices of Elliot Kanter, we are prepared to assist you with your car accident claim. Give us a call today — we are happy to help!

THE BEST SPORTS FOR YOUR SHY CHILD
4
NONCOMPETITIVE KIDS CAN STILL BE SPORTY!
Less Intimidating and Just as Rewarding
While you may have enjoyed competitive sports as a child, that doesn’t necessarily mean your child will feel the same. Not every personality matches well with team sports and high-pressure competitive matches. Whether your child is shy or less competitive, there are still sports they can participate in and enjoy! GYMNASTICS Yes, gymnastics can be competitive ( think Olympic intensity ), but that doesn’t always have to be the case. Your kids can start gymnastics without having to compete. Beginning gymnastics often focuses on basic movements and stretches to gain flexibility. If your child develops a passion for the sport, they can choose to go competitive later at their own speed! MARTIAL ARTS Martial arts, such as karate and taekwondo, help kids improve their self-confidence and achieve personal goals. Martial arts can help your children develop their focus and concentration while practicing self- defense skills. Some other martial arts styles your child might enjoy include kung fu, jiujitsu, capoeira, judo, and aikido. SWIMMING For kids who love diving into the water, swimming should be a sport to try. Like the rest of the listed individualized sports, the choice of joining
competitions or a team is entirely up to your child. As they progress in their swimming journey, they may decide to start participating in competitive swim meets at the local YWCA/YMCA.
HORSEBACK RIDING This equestrian sport is perfect if your kid loves animals! While it may be more pricey, many equestrian centers offer discounts or even free lessons in exchange for stable work. Your child may thoroughly enjoy caring for the horses when working in the stables, and in return, they can also take horseback riding lessons. ROCK CLIMBING Climbing, which debuted as a sport in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, can be done indoors or outdoors. Many rock climbing studios offer lessons for kids and ensure sufficient safety regulations. Rock climbing can lead to a lifelong passion for the sport and opportunities to compete in various events if desired later.
