Why Being Healthy Isn't A Habit

Huh?

When you have the inspiration to “get healthy” it is easy to jump in and try to do everything the first day.  That doesn’t work.

But, if you only focus on one habit, you don’t reach your goals, either.  Being healthy is not a singular habit. So, what should you do?

You learn both that habits reinforce each other – working together -- and that you need to build healthy habits one layer at a time.

Why is this important?

1.  You don’t get overwhelmed and then stop.

When you start trying to meal plan and prep, ramp up cardio and strength and stretching, get to sleep on time, do a morning routine, cut down on caffeine, learn new recipes, add in meditation for stress, and 100 other tips you’ve read, you get confused, distracted, and overwhelmed.

Then you know what happens.

You throw up your hands and say “forget it.”  And you never make progress.

2.  You develop traction.

When you know which single habit to start first, and how, you begin to get traction.  Enough that you can layer another healthy habit, which then makes the first habit even stronger.

3.  You experience maximum impact.

As you successfully layer each healthy habit, the “domino effect” - as a friend of mine says, kicks in.  You create an upward spiral.  Every aspect of healthy living becomes easier with greater result.  You succeed with your goals.

In the craziness of life, you need a simple and powerful plan.
