We are all victims of our own habits. We get into a routine of doing things. The key is to form good habits that we want to last a life time. Many people have to have that morning cup of coffee…..or at least they think they do. It is easy to convince ourselves that we need something and the more we do it, the more it is ingrained into us. So, let’s use this to our advantage!
Determine 5 things you want to become a healthy habit and start doing them regularly, until they are second nature. For me, I decided to make WAVES. I have made drinking water, keeping my attitude focused on God, eating veggies and other healthy foods, exercising to start my day and seeking support from friends and from the Lord constantly.
I still struggle from time to time, but these things are more second nature for me now than they ever have been before! I reach for water and not soda. I love God and my relationship with Him is stronger than it has ever been. I have learned to love foods and even crave those that I thought I could never stand (no, I wasn’t a fruit & veggies kind of person). I have a new exercise routine that I love, even though it is tough and a real challenge. I can also say that I have made a lot of new friends, true friends along the journey. There is nothing like sharing a struggle with someone else to become better acquainted and helping lift each other along the way, just makes the journey easier!
Of course, I made a simple chart to help you along with these new goals! Check it out and share your 5 new healthy habits with the rest of us!
