With Valentine’s Day mid February, let’s focus on loving & caring for ourselves…

♥️ How can you create habits around moving your body that show it you care & appreciate all that you can do?

♥️ What habits might help you feed your body in a more loving & caring way?

♥️ How can you prepare for sleep in a way that your body will appreciate?

♥️ Is there a habit you could create to appreciate yourself more? To quiet the inner critic? To appreciate your body & be grateful for all that it has been & currently is?

♥️ How can you show yourself kindness & self-compassion?

Let's make this ♥️ month a great one!

NEWCOMERS:
If you are new to our group, welcome! Please let us know what you will be working on this month and how we can help! A suggestion: set a reminder to check-in periodically with us. Check-in daily, weekly, or as often as works for you, but let us know how you are progressing! We're here to support and encourage you, but if you don't post, we can't cheer you on!

IF YOU ARE NEW TO BUILDING HABITS:

Building new habits is a structured, time-consuming, and repetitive process. It doesn’t just happen overnight. But it’s well worth the effort! Having good eating, exercise, and sleeping habits makes it much easier to lose weight and achieve your other health goals. You won’t have to rely on feeling motivated. You’ll act on your new habits because it’s just what you do. We use the recommended approaches of noted habits experts BJ Fogg, James Clear, Wendy Wood, and Charles Duhigg to guide us through this process.

We have 2 different strategies we recommend. Both are good tools for habit formation, they are just different methods and one might be better suited to you than the other.


METHOD 1: HABIT STACKING
We highly recommend habit stacking as a great way to build a new healthy habit. Simply attach the habit you want to create to a habit you already have using this structure:

AFTER I ________________________

I WILL __________________________

EXAMPLES:
After I brush my teeth, I will floss one tooth.
After I drink my afternoon coffee, I will put on my walking shoes.
After I put away my breakfast dishes, I will prep 3 servings of vegetables for the day.
After I clean up after dinner, I will plan tomorrow’s dinner & move necessary items from freezer to refrigerator.
After I weigh myself in the morning, I will drink 2 cups of refreshing, cool water.
After I start my coffee brewing, I will stand on each leg for 30 seconds.

METHOD 2: HABIT LOOP

Frame your goal along these lines:

1. My goal for this month (This December I will...")
2. The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish this goal
3. The trigger or cue to remember to do my habit
4. How often will you do your new habit (daily is best if possible)
5. What reward will you immediately give yourself for doing your habit? (Small positive feedbacks reinforce the habit you are trying to build.)
6. What help do you need from us?
7. What does success look like to you at the end of December?

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRACKERS

Since all new habits require lots of repetition to make them stick, we highly recommend you use a habit tracker to log your daily progress.

Tracker Types:
Paper - plenty of free ones or create your own. A simple sheet of paper works! Check out the trackers of @77tes in past months!
Calendar: Denise (@themedalist) uses these. Daily check marks work just fine!
Tracking apps - some are free
Physical - move a marble, paper clip, etc into a jar each day or color code them
Emoji - @TexasGardnr @nebslp & @MadisonMolly2017 are fond of these! Look in prior month’s to see how effective they are!

Whatever helps you celebrate your baby steps and successes will work. But please use a tracker. It makes it more likely you’ll change your behavior and it’s fun to see your progress!

    🎖 = Walking 10K every day day makes my body feel strong, makes me happier & more relaxed, helps me sleep, inspires my art (nature), and allows me to eat more :)

    👏👏 = Sat Fat < 8 grams per day to help
    My heart be as healthy as possible

    ⚖️ = weighing, recording, and reflecting upon my weight daily helps me remain aware &!enables me to adjust

    🍓= calories < 1,880 & careful tracking helps my body get the nutrients it actually needs

    📚 = reading helps my brain, relaxes me, and broadens me

    👩🏻‍🎨= [envisioning, looking, writing, drawing, photographing possible artworks / painting, collage, drawing, bookmaking / sewing, embroidery, crochet / taking on-line classes] brings me great joy & the more consistently I do it, the more I see how my work evolves and then I realize what it was all about! Amazing!

    Eating our last three nights - son here visiting

    I let them know I will eat at home tomorrow night. I don’t feel good & it’s too much salt, Sat fat, sugar… not beating myself up…I just need to find the strength… They are not to blame; old habits die hard.

    This is the final One I need to learn how to manage: “vacations”

    Hello my fellow goal setters! Sorry to be late to the party. I forgot to bookmark this thread and... well, eight days have now gone by!

    ♥️ How can you create habits around moving your body that show it you care & appreciate all that you can do? My February plans have been thrown out the window: Monday night I blew out my right knee again. Hello, crutches and brace. Goodbye, karate and skiing. New plan: do whatever the physiotherapist says.

    ♥️ What habits might help you feed your body in a more loving & caring way? I have set three alarms, morning-afternoon-evening, to integrate some content I've been studying, to review my intention, and to meditate, respectively. I like how caring about my thoughts is a way to care about my body. After all, mind and body are not separate; the brain is an organ, too.

    ♥️ How can you prepare for sleep in a way that your body will appreciate? The meditation helps. I also have these amber glasses I got from Amazon. I wear them for an hour or so before bed. I look like a bug (LOL), but it really mutes everything and puts me in the mood to sleep.

    ♥️ Is there a habit you could create to appreciate yourself more? The alarm to review my intention is a good new habit. I've also recently signed up for a free 7-day "Stop Holding Yourself Back" challenge in my meditation app. It starts in a week.

    My goals are finally turning to real habits especially my meditation I look forward to starting my day this way followed by a coffee or two. I find if I can’t accomplish this in the morning my day is out of sorts when this happens I do one before I fall asleep.
    Glad to see everyone working to stay focused.

    🍎🍇 February 2023 🍇🍎
    🍎🍇🫐🍓🥝🍓🫐🍇🍎

    I am a person who values the health and fitness of body mind and soul

    February I will …..
    Right This Minute

    I am working on being more proactive, using Right This Minute as a spur to encourage me to resist procrastination.
    I’ve been trying it out, and it certainly creates great positive feelings to be able to get started on a task. And once I start, I find that I usually complete the task.
    David at Raptitude advocates writing on a few post-it notes and sticking them around the place to remind you.
    HOW?
    After I see one of my RTM post-its …..
    I will find 1 small task that can I do RIGHT THIS MINUTE and DO it > 5 times a day.
    Reward: I HAVE THE POWER
    ⚔️ He-Man salute!!! ⚔️

    After I have breakfast,
    I will take a walk outside just for myself to ponder. I will start by doing this two times per week.

    Before getting out of bed in the morning, I will do 5-10 mins of my lower leg physical therapy or my upper body workout.
