Habits

What’s not to love about this time of year? Spring brings positive changes with less extreme temperatures, more sunshine, and lusciously colored landscapes. The visual cues of spring inspire and reenergize me. I look behind to assess where I’ve been. I look ahead to imagine where I want to go. I breathe deeply to appreciate where I am right now.  What draws your focus?

One of the recent habit changes I made was spring-induced. I added the simple daily repeat “Take walk” to my electronic to do list.  This has resulted in many benefits including daily outdoors exercise, photo-taking opportunities, increased water drinking, reduced chocolate eating, more pondering time, and enhanced sense of well-being. The crossing-it-off-my-list factor has provided enough motivation and accountability to solidify my new walking habit. 

As spring unfolds, what changes are you ready to embrace?
