My Habits

My Habits
I'd like to share some of my habits that I do believe contribute to my health.  Inspired from my previous article "Ugh Sick AGAIN?!?"  So here it is:

Pursue something you love (for me its this blog, and many other things)

Commit a certain percentage of your income to a rainy day fund - I have several different accounts for different things, every time I get a raise I raise my contribution a little.  Even if its just 1%, this will accumulate quicker than you can imagine.

Choose one tiny aspect that you can improve you diet every month.  Right now for me, this is eating raw one day a week.  I'm already vegan gluten free (80% of the time).

Drink more water.  I do still drink water for 5 consecutive minutes, but now, I've also started drinking a full glass of water before I get in the shower, cleans with in and without!

Spend time outside.  However that might be for you, eat lunch outside, walk to do errands, if possible, garden, go for walks as exercise...

Sleep in.  I always allow myself to sleep in on my days off.  Being a flight attendant is very physically and emotionally demanding, ever since I started always sleeping in on my days off I almost never get sick.

Meditate, journal, just be still.

Commit to personal growth.  I am constantly working on myself, facing my beliefs/doubts/limitations/emotions. 

Set time aside for happiness, play, or simple pleasures, everyday.

I'm constantly working on myself, tweaking and questioning what works best for me.  I very strongly believe that the smaller the change or commitment, the more permanent it will be.  Maybe some of these will work for you, maybe they won't.  We are all different, and that is wonderful.  But if you want some changes in your life, and have no idea where to start or feel stuck, maybe one of my habits will provide inspiration for you.

Sending love, Jessica
