Try habit stacking to create new habits and make them stick. Make a list of new habits you want to add to your lifestyle and then link them with current habits. For example Every morning after you pour yourself a cup of coffee, take 5-10 minutes to meditate. Before going to bed each night write five things you’re grateful for.... Listen to a podcast or audio book while walking the dog. Your current habits have been strengthened over the years and have been built into your brain. By linking your new habits to a cycle that is already in place you will be more likely to stick to them. #onebodyfitness #corporatefitnessworks #bewellworkwell #creatinghealthyhabits #creatinghealthierlives
