Health Habits. We all need them. Every online tabloid or magazine wants to give you a list of essential health habits, which if you could only implement them, would change your life.
You’ve seen those long lists of platitudes like:
- Don’t do drugs
- Drink more water
- Eat one healthy meal
- Complete a physical challenge
- Eat a meal-replacement bar (seriously…)
- Wear sunscreen every day
- Be grateful
- Avoid sugar
- Eat clean
- Sweat once a day
But this article won’t be anything like that.
Instead of giving you a list of ideas to implement that might be good for you, I want to help you understand why blanket health habits are not always the best for you depending on your individual needs. I want to teach you about habits, how we form them, why bad habits are easy to fall back into, and why your health habits might look different than someone else’s (and why that’s okay).
In the next installment, we’ll be going over how to change your habits and reach your fitness goals without needing to feel motivated all the time and without needing to be perfect with every little aspect of training, diet, and putting it all together.
