10 Habits that will change your life

Many of you know that I belive a good day is one that is calm and restful, one that brings you joy. I wish this for not only myself but for the people i’m lucky enough to connect with. But of course, I didn’t just wake up one day and this was the norm. I had to go on a journey of trial and error until I figured out what worked for me and allowed me to be in my happy place, more rather than less. Today I share 10 habits that will change your life.  

Staying mindful to the following 10 habits that will change your life has allowed me to experience good days more often. I hope this blog inspires you to consider focusing on one new habit that will get you closer to living the life that aligns for you.

10 habits that will change your life

1. Create distance from people who drain you
2. Surround yourself with people who lift you and others up
3. Surround yourself with people who share the same values
4. Become consious about how you fill your mind. Try to avoid gossip, drama and laying blame.
5. Be present. Value the people in your life and the time they want to spend with you.
6. Practice gratitude. Pausing often and being thankful for what you have.
7. Say NO. I have learnt that it is ok to pause and simply be. I now make sure as a family we have time for rest and time to be spontaneous. As for me this is when magic really happens.
8. Listen to your body. In addition to rest, focus on eating well and keep active.
9. Learn. I constantly read and listen to podcasts about wellbeing and happiness. Two topics I am passionate about. 
10. Assume good intent and try and be kind, always. 

What habits are most important to you?

Do you already have some of these habits well established in your life? Or better still did one really resonate with you and would assist you as you move forward. 

It’s a good idea to spend time thinking about what habits you really want to form and identifying what’s most important to you. Journaling or just writing down your future good habits can really help. 

The other cool part, and the BIG reason creating good habits matters so much:  Habits, once established, use a different part of our brain. We don’t have to think about them, we just do them, and they don’t drain our mental energy. Thus, the more good habits we can create, the more productive, happier and less stressed we become.

That is it from me today, I hope you have a calm and restful day, one that brings you joy. One free from anxiety and as Positivity and Happiness are Contagious… Start your own Happiness ripple today!
