Habit Stacking

It’s February and the initial excitement of the new year has worn off. Are you still on track for your goals? Have they changed?

Regardless of your goal to lose weight, read more, go to bed earlier — instead of setting a goal, set a plan!

How can you make sure you floss every night? Make sure you floss when you brush your teeth.

Read before bed? Put your book on your pillow and read 2 pages right when you get into bed.

Drink more water? Drink a glass while you make coffee or microwave your oatmeal.

Staking habits with a current habit makes it easier to ADD an additional habits. Soon they will just be incorporated into your daily routine.

Do you have a daily routine?

If you want to know more about habit stacking and a great book about habits – I highly recommend the ATOMIC HABITS by James Clear.

New Year, New Goals

Hey hey! I’ve had this page for a while now and my hope it to be more consistent on this blog!

To kick off the year I want to remind you that you have to do the work CONSISTENTLY to get anything you want. If that’s career related, fitness related, mental health related, spiritually – you need to keep consistent.

What does consistency look like to you?

It is subjective – of course. But for example take fitness goals. Instead of setting a goal to lose 10 lb maybe set a goal to go to the gym three times a week and 10,000 steps everyday. Consistency is the plan.

Maybe you want to work on your mental health in 2022. Consistency could mean meditating every morning for 5 minutes when you wake up. Or maybe you meditate 30 minutes three times a week. You dedicate 10 minutes a day to read a self development book. There are so many options and ways to reach goals but the only way is through consistency.

So here you have it and my goal for 2022 and this blog it’s to post once a week. Sometimes workouts. Sometimes motivation. Sometimes recipes. A little bit of everything. And maybe a little postpartum thrown in for fun since I’m in the thick of it with my 1 month old.

Drop me a comment and tell me what your goals are and what your plan, your consistency will be to reach that goal!
