New Year, New Habits for a Better You

Visuals and being held accountable to yourself always adds strength to the mission…and remember…it takes as much effort to create a new healthy self-care habit as it does to keep doing what isn’t…huh?  Think about that! This is from one of the women from one my groups:

I hope you had an enjoyable holiday. Since a new year is approaching and many people like to start fresh, I thought I would share something that I do when I want to begin a new habit or hobby.

I track my progress of the new habit using something called, “A Year in Pixels.” For instance, if I want to practice piano or start exercising, I color in the ‘pixel’ for that day. Over the course of a month, (and eventually the year) I can see how many days I dedicated to the habit of practicing or exercising.

You can Google, “Habit Trackers” or “A Year in Pixels.” A lot of people create theirs in their Bullet Journals but I attached a picture of my own that I started in October.

I also have a blank PDF version of one I created in Excel, in case any of you want to give it a try. Click Here to Download it.

The trackers in my photo are smaller (and one is landscape, the other portrait) than the blank one I’m sending, so if you are interested, I can send you a smaller version. Just email me.
