1.?????The first habit is to start your day with intention and a guiding question your intention is your compass reminding you what you want to focus on based on your intention you can create a daily guiding question that you can ask yourself at the beginning of each day for example my intention this year is to nourish myself to not overwork or allow myself to get burnt out so to encourage myself to focus on that intention every morning i ask myself this daily guiding question how do i want to be nourished today the answer may vary depending on what I feel like i need that day some days I feel like i definitely need to do yoga or journal out my thoughts other days I might feel like taking the day off and taking the pressure off it's nice because asking that question every morning allows me to focus on my intention and design my day around it so give it some thoughts and comment down below what would you like your daily guiding question to be.

2.??????The second daily habit is to level up your hydration we all know how important it is to stay hydrated and drink a lot of water that should be your first priority if you don't have the habit of drinking enough water go take a sip of water right now it's okay i'll wait did you do it okay now that that's out of the way my tip on top of that is to level up your hydration by finding ways to add benefits to your water in a way that you enjoy there are so many creative and healthy ways to do this but the key word here is what you enjoy for starters i love having hot water it's easier on your digestive system than cold water is i like using these stainless steel bottles to keep my water warm all day and i have two of these with me at all times you can also try adding lemon to your water for a vitamin c boost maybe try adding some honey and ginger with your hot water i also started stocking my fridge with coconut water and green juice so coconut water is for extra electrolytes and i just feel like it's extra hydrating for some reason and green juice of course has a lot of its own vitamins and minerals you can either buy the juice form or buy like a green powder mix instead of coffee try switching to some green tea or you can experiment with teas that have different health benefits another example is i have this mushroom tincture that includes 11 types of mushrooms like chaga reishi and lion's mane and they are all known as adaptogens that offer various health benefits so all i do is add a couple droppers into my water which is super easy to do my point is instead of just drinking water all day which is what I used to do you can consider adding extra nutrients while you hydrate there's nothing wrong with just drinking water but these are just extra ideas to add more benefits so you get more bang for your buck habit.

3.??????Number three move your body in a way that's fun to you i've learned that in order to stick with an exercise routine it has to be fun and frictionless i can't be motivated to go for a run but i do love to do yoga and to dance my recent favorite is doing dance workouts from the mad fit youtube channel she has a good combo of good music and fun dance moves that are easy to follow to reduce friction Or resistance to working out i created a youtube playlist of dance workout videos so when it's time for me to work out I can go straight to that playlist and don't have to spend time searching for a workout to do i also recommend having a designated space to work out with your gear ready and laying out your workoutclothes so you already have something to wear I love how dancing makes me feel I noticed that even if i'm feeling lazy and unmotivated if i can get myself to follow a video for 10 minutes eventually my mood will change and i'll feel like doing more so find a way to move your body that feels fun enough that you'll want to keep going.

4.??????Another habit to incorporate into your day is to calm your mind and find your center there are so many distractions and stimulants throughout our day that it's important to have a daily habit of quieting your mind and connecting with yourself whether it's taking a walk outside sitting down to meditate or making time to stretch in the evenings find an enjoyable way to detach mentally from your everyday thoughts and stresses instead of being constantly plugged in you have to take time to unplug and reset mentally when we do this consistently we develop a clearer mind and better mental well-being overall.

5.?????The fifth habit is to find consistent healthy meals that you genuinely love on the road to a better you change yourself from the inside out by being more intentional about the food you eat most of us know that it's healthiest to eat whole foods foods that are closest to their natural form that you would find in nature versus eating processed foods like fast food or snacks but it's not always easy to commit to a healthy diet one trick i've found to make eating healthy a daily habit is to search for healthy meals that you absolutely love that you can eat often without getting sick of it for me it's my daily fruit bowl i always start with a fruit bowl as my first meal so that i know i'm getting in my fruits for the day i personally love sweets and i found a variation of the fruit bowl that i love so much i can eat it every day banana apple peanut butter and granola what's nice is i can switch out the fruits depending on the season or how i feel today there's some papaya other times i've had blueberries pineapple persimmon kiwi you guys get the point i found a healthy meal that I love and can have every day without getting sick of it a bonus tip i have for you is to keep a menu of your healthy food options or recipes because i'm a visual person i like to organize it on notion so that i can see visually all the meals that i can make for inspiration i also keep a list of what fresh produce i have in the fridge so I know what to cook with these ingredients before they go bad.

6.?????The next healthy habit is to take five minutes every day to write down your thoughts of gratitude anyone can take five minutes out of their day to do something gratitude journaling is such a simple yet powerful practice because having gratitude in your life shapes how you feel about everything else you'll feel happier luckier and more abundant when you focus on your gratitude energy goes where attention flows so bring energy to the positives in your life versus the negatives daily habit number seven prioritize your most important task for the day if you want to be productive focus on being more effective versus just being efficient being effective means you're working on the most important or impactful thing that you could be working on being efficient simply means that you're doing something faster or with less energy being efficient doesn't matter if you're working on the wrong thing so instead of trying to get more done in your day focus on completing the most important task for your day every day ask yourself if i completed only one task today which tasks would make me feel the most proud or satisfied it will likely be the hard thing the thing that you want to avoid and procrastinate on because you have some resistance and fear around tackling it that fear is actually a good sign that this is a thing that you should do because it will challenge you and empower you to grow the most.

7.?????The next habit is to take 10 minutes every day to do a daily reset this is a habit that i personally want to work on because i found that I often neglect cleaning and then over time I just becomes too overwhelming to tackle and so I procrastinate on it even more instead of letting things get out of hand try taking 10 minutes a day to reset an area that needs it this could mean organizing your desk putting away clothes cleaning in general or even organizing your files on your desktop if things got a little too crazy 10 minutes is a doable time for everyone set a time in your day and make it a routine like before or after you work building this daily habits will help cultivate a more ideal space and a better environment for yourself try it and let me know what you think.

8.?????Habit number eight is to do something every day that brings you joy life shouldn't feel like a never-ending to-do list nor should you feel like a robot where you're just focused on getting things done non-stop life should be fun if you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed remember to come back to what brings you joy how can you find joy in your day how can you do more of what makes you happy it really can be in the smallest things and if you feel guilty at the thought of following your joy why reflect and see what could be blocking you from your joy what limiting beliefs or expectations might you be holding on to.

9.?????The last habit I'll share today is to reflect at the end of your day if you don't want to live a life where every day feels the same and it all becomes a blur in your mind take time to reflect and cherish each day for how I went whether you do it in a journal or digitally reflect on your wins how you feel or drop down any highlights from your day that you want to remember i use the app day one to do this and it takes about 10 to 15 minutes a night i like to take at least one photo a day that represents my day and put it into day one that way i can see visually how my days looked and what i did on any given day you don't realize how much you've changed until you look back at your past photos and journal entries i like collecting my memories and taking snapshots of my life because it helps me appreciate this journey even more.
