FALL INTO HEALTHY HABITS IN SEPTEMBER
Okay, I know that you don’t just trip and fall into a pile of healthy habits like a pile of fall leaves. Healthy habits take work. However, this month I challenge you to let gravity help you fall into a new habit or a better expression of a habit you’ve been struggling with. How can we use gravity? Use momentum from a…

This November: Small Steps for the Win!
This month, I'd like to return to a frequent theme of the Building Healthy Habits group: small changes are the building blocks of sustainable healthy habits. A recent doctor's appointment underscored that point for me. I'm seeing a specialist and he was doing an initial assessment of where I am physically. He commented on…

A September to Remember
I want to pick up on the theme Kathy outlined for us in July: “What will I do in July and in the rest of 2024?” It is just as relevant a question in September as it was a couple of months ago. We attach way too much importance to waiting until January to start a new habit. The best time to start a new habit is right NOW.…

No Snowballs in August!
It all starts innocently enough. For me lately it’s been a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. You join in your family’s nightly ritual of snacking while watching TV at night, despite a pledge to yourself that you’ll close your food diary and stop eating at 7pm. Or your schedule gets thrown for a loop one day causing you to skip…

This April I Will (Sit Less!)
I was inspired by Kathy's suggestion that we focus on mindfulness in March. Even though I didn't hit the mindful mark every day -- because it was my focus for March, I was more mindful throughout the month than I would have been otherwise. Building new habits is hard and it usually requires a more sustained effort than…

This November I Will...
And hello November! I love this time of year, although I could skip the 6:30 wakeup in total darkness. The holidays are just around the corner, and as we know, it's all too easy to let healthy habits slip. Let's not let that happen! Whether you want to continue to work on a habit you started earlier, or select something…
