Create Habits You Can Rely On

03 Oct Create Habits You Can Rely On

Have you ever told yourself, “I’ll lose weight after my daughter gets married,” or “I’ll start exercising once this stressful project at work is over!”? Life is busy, and it is HARD to make your health a priority sometimes!

However, there are a lot of downsides to procrastinating a workout for days…or months. Soon it catches up to you and your metabolism slows wayyyy down. You find yourself feeling sluggish, heavy, and sad. Exercise releases endorphins, and when you don’t get them from a workout, your body craves them from other places. Like chocolate. That chocolate makes it even harder to work out, and it becomes a messy cycle, you see?

Personally, I am an excellent pusher-backer of healthy habits. A morning workout? After being up all night with a fussy newborn? No thanks! And it’s much easier to ask my husband to grab fast food on his way home instead of finding time to meal plan and make a dinner with some nutrition.

The thing is, I realized that when I put off taking care of my body until life gets easier, life only gets harder. It might take some planning, but I realized that by figuring out small ways to take care of myself throughout the day, I am a better mom, a more productive worker, a more understanding wife, and a happier person.

It doesn’t take much. Sometimes it’s just making myself drink water throughout the day! The point is, life will always be busy. If you make healthy habits foundations of your day, things that you can rely on even when everything else gets crazy, your body will stay strong even during pressure.
