DECEMBER 2019 CHALLENGE
We’re focusing on implementing a new habit each week for the last month of this decade. Last week’s challenge: Get moving. Week two challenge: add more water to your day. Week one challenge: eat an apple a day. How are you doing with these three additions to your daily life? Are these small changes helping to crowd out food that shouldn’t be a part of your daily nutrition? Has adding movement to your day given you more energy?
WEEK FOUR: ENJOY!
This last full week of the decade will most likely be filled with friends and family – as well as end-of-year deadlines.
Take a break from the action and check in with yourself. Ask yourself a few questions:
Am I spending time with people whose company I enjoy?
Am I working toward goals that are important to me?
At the end of the day / week / month / year, do I feel happy and energetic or lethargic?
Am I having fun?
Am I exploring new interests?
What can I do to make this day great?
What do I want the next year to look like?
Have a wonderful holiday season, take a moment or two to yourself when you need to and a few deep breaths to re-center and de-stress. Yes, fun times can also be stressful.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this December challenge and have found that eating an apple a day, drinking more water, and moving your body more has had a positive impact on your health. Life is good. Enjoy the ride.
You’re in control. Healthy living starts now.
