My All New Habit Tracker!

Happy New Year, friends! To say I am excited to see a new year is quite the understatement of the century! 2022 hit me hard, and with it came a LOT of slacking when it came to doing the daily habits that made me feel my best. I was doing all I could to get through my days with ease since so much was happening; and moving into our new home with LOTS more space and DIY projects to complete pretty much threw all normalcy out the window.

One thing that has made me feel my best in the past is getting up in the mornings and getting ready. Whether it’s for work, or for jaunting around town, for some reason it makes my whole day go smoother than when I don’t do this. It’s an act of self care that I never realized I needed so badly. One way I am ensuring doing this is having an accountability partner that I send a selfie to on the days I have committed to getting dressed.

Another item on my daily habit lists that got the boot in 2022 and is coming BACK for this year were my daily vitamins! I can’t believe the difference that taking them every day makes me feel. I am so excited because OLLY brand has the most wonderful selections for keeping my energy up and also great selections for the kids’ growing bodies as well. To keep me on track with this, I have the bottles of vitamins right by my coffee maker in the morning, so it’s a form of habit stacking that I can’t avoid! I’m right there, and it doesn’t add any time to my day so there’s no excuse! Another box checked off on my tracker!

OK, let’s talk movement. Moving my body has taken the back seat. But no more. I started by adding “moving my body for 30 minutes 3 days a week” to make it easy to get into again. I love checking this one off the box, because it makes me feel so good. It’s been helping me sleep better, it’s curbing my anxiety about things and it improves my day to day tasks. I am committed to keeping this one up!

While I am so excited to get better every day and week, I am so proud of myself for implementing this system that works for me and my daily routine. Y’all know I am a woman who likes to accomplish things, so checking my little tracking boxes off makes me feel like a productive boss, and I want you to feel the same!
