What the HEALTH?
3 Ways to Develop Healthy Habits
Health. It’s both a positive, and for some “cringey,” word to hear tossed around. Leading a healthy lifestyle, whether it be mentally, physically, or spiritually, has a plethora of benefits and promotes feeling better and living longer. But sometimes, health means eating your broccoli, getting off the couch, or saying no to the second serving of cake. Making healthy choices starts with creating healthy habits and developing strategies to set yourself up for success. Here are three ways to incorporate making healthier choices into your daily routine. Identify your habits. Once formed, habits are hard to break without being aware of them. Tune into your habits — do you tend to munch away on the couch while watching TV? Do you make bad food choices every time you dine out? Do you tend to spend too much time on your phone? Once you identify habits that don’t serve you or your physical, mental, or spiritual health, you can make positive changes to disrupt those patterns and start the path to developing new ones. Create a plan. When creating a plan to incorporate healthier decisions in your life, the key is to start small and stay reasonable. If you always stop at a fast-food restaurant on your way home from work, try switching up the route to avoid the temptation. If your goal is to include more reading in your day, start with a few pages a day and go up from there. When we aim too high and miss the mark, it can lead to giving up quickly. Instead, plan for obstacles and keep your aspirations reasonable. Stay on track. Be sure to track your progress when you choose healthier options. Jot your accomplishments down in a journal or spreadsheet, even when you begin to fall off the wagon. By holding yourself accountable, you’ll find that you’re less likely to veer off track, and soon enough, healthy actions will become habitual in your life and daily routine.
