Healthy Habits

Good day! I`d like to share my thoughts about developing healthy habits!

As I like working on myself and challenging, I read a lot on this topic to learn other people`s examples and see how it works. In today`s fast world, we can get so many different techniques, diets, solutions and advises, that we definitely have to judge everything we read or listen to :)

Even life itself changed a lot and now medicine even looking at the same products under different angles. Like my mom says now, than 10-15 years ago some products were considered “not so good” for your health, but now everyone talks about it`s “goodness”.

How not to be lost in these cases?

My way, is to listen to yourself and how your body responds to certain products. When I started exercise I felt like my body needed more water, as it was losing it, then I started drinking water a lot during the day and so it became my habit, later on I was reading about benefits of it.

When I moved away from home I started working more and cooking less, eat more fresh greens and less meat, and I felt myself so much lighter inside and I really enjoyed this feeling. Later on I found justifications to this in prints.

I am not a vegetarian, although my colleagues at work always asked me about it, as my menu was pretty simple, raw and veggie. I think I am not ready yet to eliminate some products as I believe they are necessary for balanced diet, for now I just increased the percentage of veggies on my daily plate.

Step by step I have been making my choices unconsciously, but now I see that they all match with healthy lifestyle and giving me tonus for life!

To strengthen a healthy habit you have to repeat it from 21 (min) to 40 (max) days in a row, and no skipping! Then your body and mind will get used to a new way!

Of course it may be hard for a first time, but with support of a friend or strong self-motivations, you can make it work for you! Here is where your power of will comes in picture!

Some people may be forgetting in a busy daily life that they have to do/not to do certain things, then you can write a reminder on a sticky paper and it will be on your sight.

I am sure that very soon it will become very natural, like breathing and sleeping :)

Good luck with your positive changes!!!
