Sustainable Habit Forming

This  year we are going to share a habit every month that will help you build  a strong foundation for a healthier life. Not everyone is starting from  the same point- so we are giving you 3 levels to pick from. Every time  you can maintain an action for 14 consecutive days move up to the next  level. Once you get to the last level - aim for 66 days in a row. Then  you will have truly acquired this habit! This month we are building self-care. Because self-care comes first!  

Schedule 10-Minutes a day for yourself - Call a friend, sit in your car and sing-along to your favorite songs, take a walk around the block, or just sit and do nothing 

Already taking 10-Minutes daily for yourself?  Schedule an hour each week for yourself - get your nails done, go on a hike, take a long bubble bath, spend time on a hobby 

Are you doing daily and scheduling weekly self-care?  Schedule self-care time for your mind - like a meditation; for your body - like a fitness class;  for your spirit - like a date night with yourself or significant other.

Feeling stress creep in? Breathe in count to 10, breathe out count to 10 

Already managing stress with the 10-count? Try closing your eyes & focusing on your breathing for 2 minutes multiple times a day - this prevents stress before it starts 

2 minutes already working for you? Start your day by practicing a guided breath meditation
