This month, we thought we would change up our monthly Exploring Las Vegas article and discuss an awesome attraction in Reno, to celebrate our new location in this amazing city. Did you know that one of the 10 best automobile museums in the U.S. is right here in our own State? The National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada, has been widely recognized as setting the standard for automobile museums around the world when it opened in 1989. The Museum started after the passing of Bill Harrah, the founder of Harrah’s Hotels and Casinos. During his life, he assembled a massive collection of historically significant automobiles, totaling approximately 1,400 vehicles! After his death, the Holiday Inn Company purchased the Harrah properties and the automobile collection. Holiday Inn then donated 175 cars to start the nonprofit museum, which at the time was the largest corporate philanthropic EXPL RING LAS VEGAS RENO
gift in America. These initial vehicles from Mr. Harrah’s collection started what soon became the National Automobile Museum.
Today, there are more than 200 vehicles in the collection. The museum offers entertaining authentic street scenes and facades to accompany the vehicles, along with historical artifacts. Many of the vehicles were used in movies and owned or driven by famous celebrities like Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, and others. As you stroll through the museum you’ll be transported back in time!
The Museum is located at the corner of Lake and Mill Streets in downtown Reno. Check it out!
HOW HABIT TRACKING AND DAILY RESOLUTIONS COULD TRANSFORMYOUR LIFE
Yearly resolutions are so last year … if they’re your only resolutions, that is.
Having long-term goals isn’t a bad thing, but do you have a daily plan to reach them? The huge boost of motivation in January isn’t always enough to sustain you all year long. That’s why there are major benefits to starting new healthy habits, whether you increase your weekly exercise time, eat healthier foods, or work on getting better or more sleep.
or taking a walk before dinner. They found that the average amount of time it took before the action became automatic was 66 days! Don’t be too hard on yourself if you miss a day, but know that sticking to a new habit is serious work, so starting small might help you out. Another important aspect of forming new daily habits is rewarding yourself. Bad habits, like smoking, have an inherent reward. However, healthy habits can have rewards too! Try consuming a bit of dark chocolate after a workout or treating yourself to a fresh beverage or relaxing to a podcast after tackling an important task. Find ways to reward yourself, and you’ll be more likely to stick to your new habit. Certain daily resolutions don’t have to be related to exercise or diet to majorly improve your life. For example, having a gratitude journal might boost your long-term happiness by 10% and improve your blood pressure. Don’t hesitate to improve your quality of life! Just start small, and you’ll be amazed by how far you’ll go.
Luckily, sticking with these habits might be as easy as making daily resolutions to complement your yearly goals.
BJ Fogg, a Stanford University professor and author of “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything,” notes that tiny habits can make a new habit easy to implement into your daily ritual. For example, taking a short daily walk could lead to an exercise habit, or keeping an apple in your bag every day could encourage healthier snacking. It’s important that you stick with it because habits take a long time to create. One study published by the European Journal of Social Psychology asked people about a simple habit they wanted to form, like drinking water at lunch
