A Healthy Habits Checklist!

As kids go back to school, many of us feel a pull to revisit, refine or return to a daily, weekly, or monthly routine! Routines allow you to make fewer decisions (and detours!) every day and therefore have more energy to devote to the things that help make you happier, healthier, and/or more productive.

Here are 10 healthy habits to get you started.

1. Eat breakfast. It kickstarts your metabolism so you burn more calories throughout the day.
   
2. Spend time having the attitude of gratitude. Consider at least one thing you are grateful for that day.
   
3. When making your “to do” list for work, save the easy stuff for last. You’ll get more done during the day!
   
4. Drink water. It helps support healthy organ and tissue function, reduction in caloric intake, and can give your skin a great glow!
   
5. Make it a habit to stretch at the same time every afternoon. It’s great for your mobility and energy level.
   
6. Schedule self-care, like monthly massages! They benefit your body, mind and emotional wellness.
   
7. Meditate. This can be as simple as listening to a guided meditation or taking a moment to sit still
   
8. Take time to get outside, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Studies show this habit packs a surprisingly powerful physical, mental, and spiritual punch!
   
9. Read for at least 30 minutes. It can help lower your stress level and improve your memory!
   
10. Step away from your screens at least 20 minutes before bed. You’ll sleep better!
    

It takes time, but common wisdom tells us that repeating a habit for 30 days or more helps make it automatic. When that happens, get ready to add a new healthy habit!
