I love your suggestions! I really like how I can pick and choose what works best for me right now and then plan on adding more later.
Thanks LaShae! Yes! That is exactly it!! š It’s too overwhelming adding too many habits at once.
I love this! The flexibility of the list allows me to pick and choose the areas I wanted to work on and add a few new areas to work on as I make sustainable changes. Right now I am working on eating more plant based foods and cutting out processed foods.
Thank you Kaybee!! I love that! Adding too many habits at once never works…slow implementation all the way! And yay to more plant-based foods! The benefits are amazing!
I love to use the Headspace app for meditation also, itās great because I can link the subscription with my Spotify account so it saves a bit of money as well! One thing I definitely want to do focus on this year though is get some house plants!
I had no idea you can link it to Spotify. Good to know! š House plants are the best…so calming!
