Healthy Habits for a New Year

Winter is a time of going inward and also a time of new beginnings.

Think new years resolutions! 

And spring, coming up next, is a time of new beginnings.

A perfect time (and lots of it) to plan and incorporate healthy habits: 

Create new ones, 

Renew old ones,

Reinforce current ones.

So I started a list of feel good, good for you habits.

Breath

sit when you eat

chew your food well 27 times (yes, that's each bite)

add lemon to your water

eat one raw meal a day 

sleep on an empty stomach

go to bed before 10

stretch upon rising

walk

be in nature as much as possible (garden, walk in the park)

choose your food consciously (no guilt)

put your fork down between bites

drink water daily

pause - before eating

take a list when shopping

only food shop on a full stomach

shop the outside aisles only/mostly

smile

laugh at least three times a day (at least!)

hug to say hello/goodbye
