Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've checked in but it's so nice to see this group is still going! I hope you are all doing well!
I know it's the middle of the month already, but I do have health habits/health issues I'm trying to address so I'm going to jump in. I want to start with tiny things and build on them throughout the year. I hope you don't mind if I use the old format I used to use in this thread! I find it works well for me to think about things in small steps.
1. My goal for this month (This JulyI will...") : Take my vitamins & medications every day on time.
2. The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish this goal: I will put them in a cup the night before and set them by the coffeemaker.
3. The trigger or cue to remember to do my habit: When I set up the coffeemaker at night, I will put vitamins/meds in a Dixie cup. I will take them in the morning with my first cup of coffee.
4. How often will you do your new habit (daily is best if possible): Daily.
5. What reward will you immediately give yourself for doing your habit? I will check off the date on my habit tracker with my favorite color.
7. What does success look like to you at the end of July? My habit tracker will be colorful from July 14 through July 31, and hopefully I will feel healthier and have more energy.

Hi all,
I appreciated @PackerFanInGBs detail for maintaining a particular habit. I personally try to bookend preventive health actions with
-appraisal of health threat versus benefit of doing the action,
-And intention for the action -
-visualization of doing the action and completing it
-And gratitude and self compassion, that I have the resources to maintain and improve my health, and I will be gentle with myself while doing these actions— which become habits overtime.
➡️Preventive health behaviors can be acts of self love.
All of this is positive self talk and only takes a minute but it’s totally worth it for me.
The framing or mind set , it’s really important for following through with the action.
MEDS
I take morning and evening meds, so what works for me is that I have two of those plastic seven days a week containers, one for mourning one for evening.
I stack or associate taking meds with brushing my teeth morning and evening, and at whatever time I’m taking the meds I check to see if I took meds the last time and it’s a little chance to catch up and take the meds that I missed if it’s not too late in the day.
I usually take my meds on time this way
I sit down once a week for a few minutes and organize all the meds that I need. These are pills that I take orally. It’s a little easier than liquid or injectable meds.
At that time I can see if I need any more or to order anymore and I’m good.
Just sharing please take what you like and leave the rest and I hope everybody has a good weekend
😽☘️💕

Hello! I know it's mid month, but when I was looking around on MFP to help me focus on losing weight I found this group. I realized that it might just be what I need to truly make some permanent changes in my overall health and life. I'm going to focus on incorporating 15 minutes of yoga each morning. I did that in the fall of 2021, but the motivation was a work weight loss competition with money as the prize. I won, and I felt good because I was sleeping better, my balance was better, and I felt stronger. It was also really nice to win some money. Maybe if I focus on one thing instead of numerous changes all at once I can make the permanent changes I need so that I once again feel stronger, have better balance, and sleep better. 3

Hi all and @kerrid777,
My Yoga Lifestyle.
I have been doing yoga for 50 years and it has really helped to mitigate the worst consequences of aging bone and joint health issues.
My physicians and physical therapists are thrilled that I’m keeping this up and it’s really help me with postsurgical recovery. Even though I have well-controlled asthma, I was able to do a 3 mile hike on uneven terrain in a mountain forest at 8500 feet the other day.
I just move with much more ease throughout the day, and I follow a yoga philosophy that has several things integrated with it, so that it doesn’t seem like Im doing all these disconnected things with disconnected habit building and maintenance.
My yoga practice is embedded in gratitude, loving kindness, and self compassion. I am very intentional about what I do and mindful -not absent minded - of movements and breathing when I’m doing yoga, and also of food choices and grateful awareness with each bite of food.
I have my go to websites and resources to maintain this lifestyle. When I can’t get out to a gentle yoga class , I maintain my practice at home with some free online teachers.
My motivation is pretty high because I have values that undergird my practice, and I also have an identity as a person who practices.
Today my food tasted a lot better, and I ate very slowly and reflected on each morsel. I like to follow a particular eating mindfulness practice. Same with my yoga.
In this manner, my food, physical activity and general disposition throughout the day is oriented towards personal wellness and compassion for others.
So everything seems more integrated now, and these little habits are becoming mutually reinforcing, rather than just a series of exhausting tasks, that I have to figure out how to execute every day.
I’m not sure if this is useful to anyone, but I just thought that I would share my personal experience. I am a work in progress and it all gets a bit easier overtime. If I have a setback, I just restart my day and get back into it.
Take good care and I hope your week is going well.
😽☘️💕

Hi all and @PackerFanInGB:
*Staying calm and centered, while working on actions for better health*
Some years ago, I made a dedicated effort to have more inner peace and less negative emotional reactivity to the world around me. I learned about toxic stress and its affect on my organs, my ability to think clearly, and my metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Most of all, I wanted to enjoy life more because I am an older adult now.
Mindfulness as an outlook and practice throughout the day, along with gratitude and self compassion, go a long way to put me in a mindset to attend to habit building and maintenance .
I developed an identity among other things as a person who values and deserves the best health that I can attain given my age and genetic endowment. All of these things enable me to get more out of each day, and to be motivated to take care of myself, and after that to help others around me and my community as well.
I have had formal mindfulness training and there are many free resources available on the web and on video channels. I particularly like mindful magazine. Many articles are free to read, and some public libraries have it.
I also appreciate videos on self compassion, and another technique that I use called R.A.I.N. By Health psychologist Tara Brach.
I’m just sharing please take what you like and leave the rest. maybe some other folks have resources for working on inner peace and tranquility throughout the day, not something that we have to escape to and only have temporarily.
Please take good care

I really like that you start out with intentions and it’s very helpful for the mindset and I find that I also need to do this in the early evening.
I use a visualization with my intentions, so that I can keep in mind what I’m aiming for.
In my experience ( & for many) intentions and goal visualization are precursors to motivation.
Thank you very much. 😽☘️💕
@Michaela_LaGata I am so glad that u found this helpful and I can def say that setting intentions daily makes a world of difference! I used this to implement some life changing habits however when I stopped doing the daily intentions I did loose focus! So I now I am back to reviewing them daily!! I hve not tried goal visualization but will def give it a try as sounds helpful! Xo
Another vote for setting intentions! Each morning I consider what’s my top priority for the day. What’s the one thing I want to make sure I get done? These are different from my daily habits and routines. Those pretty much run on autopilot. I choose something I’ve been stressing about or something that’s risen to the priority levels. I’ve tried choosing 2 or 3 priorities for the day, with mixed success. One seems to be the sweet spot.2 -
@PackerFanInGB, so happy to have you back!!!
Taking meds and vitamins on schedule is important. And tying it to your morning coffee makes it a slam dunk. I doubt you’ll forget to have your morning coffee. Visual clues are very powerful. 1 -
My goal this month is to track my food everyday. I’ve tracked 14 of 23 days so far, or just over 60%. I know I can do better. I don’t always have my phone with me when I’m eating, and then often I move on to other things and just forgot. I may try pre-logging my food.2

I love the one priority a day focus @themedalist1

Michaela:
Much if what you write resonates with my own personal philosophy.
I’m working on closet space, too. I did clear a lot if space as I lost weight by discarding my larger clothes, but there is always room for improvement.
Much like yourself, I have altered my focus as over the years, even more so in the last 20 years when I have had more time to focus on self care and mindfulness.3 -
Hi all and @TerriRichardson112
Terri I really love how you have your health identity statement first.
“ I am a person who…”
I developed a wake up routine of looking at my Apple notes in my “morning folder” right off the bat while I’m in that groggy state of mind, making coffee and tending to the cat,
I remember to;
-Say my identity statement to myself regarding my values for holistic health—body, mind, and soul
-Do a quick five second gratitude reflection
-And visualize how I see my day going, especially with self compassion, self-care, how I am getting in my priorities for physical activity and mindful eating
By the time I finish, the above cat is fed and coffee ready and I have a quick light breakfast to start.
I have my supplements already sorted out. I do this once a week for each day and the little container is with the toothpaste /-so those two things go together,
- I am doing better with logging food. The apple 🍎 emoji at the top of each day I am adherent in my calendar is also a motivator.
- I Planned food for healthy snack for movie in the park under the stars tomorrow: watermelon slice, 2 mandarin oranges, 12ish almond thin crackers, 1 string cheese. WATER.2 -
@Michaela_LaGata
Your morning routine is very similar to mine.
~ greet the morning/meditate
~ check my stats and then have a quick burst of HIIT to get the blood circling before my morning tea, which my DH brings up to me.
~ loosely plan my day (I have the luxury of being retired, and can pretty much please myself)
~ weigh, get dressed
~ have breakfast, and log my food for the day. I don’t think in terms of ‘have to’ more ‘choose to’ so no angst when I have an indulgence.
I also have my supplements organised and have them with my morning tea.
This morning I chose to do 2 x 15 minutes closet declutter and have cleared 1 large drawer and reorganised several others.
Habits beat motivation any day of the week 😂

We have much more power than we realise. The human brain is a remarkable organ. Self belief and determination allows us to harness its capabilities, and awaken the giant within each one of us. (AKA: Anthony Robbins). You are stronger than you think.

Hi all,
This is my last post here for awhie anyway. I am using a yoga journaling group and probably can’t work with more than one fabulous group right now.
Thank you for amazing passion and support that you show each other.
BTW- I rewrote my BIG identity statement, which has 3 brief sentences for my aspirational self. I need to have the big picture to anchor a specific health action identity.. I am not just a robot performing habits!😊
The health habit identity is a secondary identity that is supported by my larger aspirational self. Aiming for Gentle Improvement, not perfection.
Sending love to all for the passion and courage to live our best lives.
Much metta

Habits keep me going when motivation flags.

July focus:
📍Sleep habits
📍Adhere to Solid Habits
I am switching off my screens at 11.15pm on at least 5 nights a week
I have set a reminder on my phone/tablet
Reward is my usual He Man power salute. 😂
