I’m hoping and praying this year is different. How about you? What new habits would you like to start this year? I’d love to hear from you! Please leave a comment below! This is how habits are made, just like a road! The more we travel it, the more marked it becomes! Grab my habits worksheet here to help you start your journey! Once we start doing something new and we stick with it, our brain will make a new route for it. The good news about habits is that our brains are wired to create new pathways. Make a to-do list each night before you go to bed. I have been doing this and I find that it is so much easier to get going each day with my daily list already made!.This is a super easy way to eat your veggies. It’s really not that bad if you make it right. Try eating a green smoothie once a week.At a stoplight, while you’re in the bathroom, before going to bed. Appreciate who you, your husband, and your family is! He encourages us to do this more, contrary to us thinking the opposite! Yoni Whitten, who is an expert in chronic pain.

Learn a new way of approaching your children by listening to Kirk Martin on his podcast, Celebrate Calm. If you have been reading this blog or know me personally, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear this. So let’s get to it! Allow me to brainstorm 21 healthy habits to consider in 2021! Stop believing the “I can’t” lie and start breathing TRUTH in your life. The first step in doing so is CHANGING YOUR MINDSET. Whatever the reason, you can change. You can break the bad habit and create new habits. Perhaps you are continuing with this bad habit because somehow it protects you. Maybe it’s just something you’ve always done. What is preventing you from trying? Is it that you don’t know how? Or is it that you don’t feel like it? Do you keep doing it because it serves a purpose in your life? Maybe it’s your coping mechanism for feeling bored or lonely. Are you tired of your bad habits? Have you been saying to yourself, I really need to stop doing x, y, z and start doing a, b, c? Some bad habits also can lead to addiction.īut let’s get back to the point. Seriously if we thought of starting a new habit and thought it was going to take 254 days, most of us wouldn’t stick with it! It just goes to show how difficult it can be!Ĭonversely, bad habits can stick around for a lot longer because more than likely they are releasing feel good chemicals in our brain such as dopamine. On the bright side, it could only take 18 days! Now if that’s not discouraging, I don’t know what is. In an article from Healthline, it states that it takes anywhere from 18-254 days to form a new habit. If so, we are now faced with having to break some unhealthy habits. Maybe we spent more time scrolling through social media which fueled our anxiety or our animosity towards others. Perhaps we gained a few extra added pounds. What did we substitute for not going to the gym? Food? Being at home around all of the food in our cupboards or pantry is very enticing to eat it all. Isn’t paying a gym membership motivation to actually work out? And most of us need others to push us to work out. For example, we had to stop going to the gym and working out with friends. Those habits could have been healthy or not. We are intentionally doing something which created a routine in our life. I say create because they don’t just happen. In all likelihood, we began to create new habits. No sports or activities to keep us occupied, and we were like most others, scared and anxious about what the virus would mean for everyone. Spring 2020 was HARD, we didn’t get to see our friends and limited our time with extended family, and life was just canceled.
