How do you define a habit?

Habits are behaviours which are performed automatically because they have been performed frequently in the past. This repetition creates a mental association between the situation (cue) and action (behaviour) which means that when the cue is encountered the behaviour is performed automatically. Automaticity has a number of components, one of which is lack of thought.

HEALTHY HABITS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

Developing healthy habits is one of the most effective strategies to improve one's health. You will lose weight and build confidence by creating healthy behaviors. With the help of this article, you will establish new healthy behaviors that will lead to a happier and better life.

1. Plan it Up

Everything is attainable when broken down into small, doable steps. Planning is essential for implementing concrete, long-term improvements in any aspect of our lives. Creating habits that improve our bodies and minds will necessitate some planning. And that is something that the majority of us fail to do.

We do not need to plan every minute of our day to make the most of it, fitness-wise at least. All we need to do is plan how we will incorporate those two or three healthy habits into an otherwise busy schedule. The better you plan, the easier it is to follow.

2. Be Aware (Mindfulness)

Being conscious of how we are and what we are doing right now may fix half of the problem. According to science, our brain craves stability. Doing certain things repeatedly in a certain way produces a pleasant sense in the human mind. This could explain why we do so many of our daily tasks mechanically.

We are aware that we are going about our daily activities, but we are not aware of how or why we are going about them. That isn't necessarily a good thing. During almost every meal, most people have their favorite movie or web series playing in the background. We naturally don't pay much attention to how much we eat. The same may be said for many of our behaviors, such as brushing our teeth and sleeping.

The first step towards a healthier lifestyle is to become mindful of how we are living right now. Take note of every single thing you do daily for a week. 

3.  Be Patient

Sometimes when you’re trying to adopt healthier habits, other health issues can get in the way.

“When you’re really struggling with these behaviors, ask yourself if more is going on,” Czajkowski says. “For example, mental health conditions like depression and anxiety can be tied to unhealthy behaviors.”

A health professional can work with you to address any underlying issues to make change feel easier and to help you be more successful.

4. Stay on Track

Doing well for oneself may be thrilling and satisfying. But there will be times when you doubt your ability to persevere.

"Identify negative beliefs and transform them into practical, constructive ones," urges Marsch.

Keeping a record can be beneficial. You can keep track of your nutrition, exercise, stress levels, and sleep habits using a paper notebook, a computer application, or a mobile app. A study of persons who dropped at least 30 pounds and kept the weight off for at least a year discovered that they frequently maintained a close eye on their progress.

“Even when you think you’re about to ‘fall off the wagon,’ hold on,” Czajkowski says. “Continue to track your behavior. Sometimes when you feel like you’re failing, you can learn the most.”

Marsch and others are working on digital technologies, like mobile apps, that could support you in a moment of weakness. Her team is also using technology to learn more about how to measure and increase the ability to monitor and control our behavior. 

5. Drink 1 extra glass of water a day

It’s nothing new that there are health benefits to drinking more water. It regulates your body temperature, lubricates and cushions joints, shields your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues, and eliminates waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel motions. Because water accounts for 50 to 75 percent of your body weight, drinking just plain old H2O is critical to keeping your body functioning properly and remaining hydrated. If plain water isn't your thing, you can flavor it to increase your intake.

6. Get Smart

We live in a digital world, and all of our actions leave a digital trail. These activities can be tracked using fitness applications that include health trackers, such as HealthifyMe. Because we take our phones with us everywhere, they can serve as excellent health monitors. Despite the criticism that technology is destroying human health, don't you think it can also help us?

Make use of "I" expressions.

Rather than moving ahead to make objectives or envision yourself already having achieved these changes, start by noticing the story you tell yourself about who you are and who you want to be. When we know where we are and where we want to go, we can make changes. Determine the type of person you wish to be.

Begin this habit: I'd like to eat healthier.

Stop this habit: I want to spend less time on social media because I want to be a person who does not let social media interfere with other aspects of my life.

Reward Yourself

This is a critical component of developing a good habit. Having a gratifying insight aids in the formation of the habit. This is especially important when the reward for the habit you are attempting to develop may not be apparent right away. Give yourself a reward when you track your progress and notice improvements. Just be sure that the treatment does not include a bad habit that you are attempting to break.

Finally, consider taking a brief walk outside of your office once a day. Moving around is not only excellent for your health, but it is also beneficial for your creative output. The variety of stimuli you'll meet will frequently stimulate new insights, and the break from "the grind" will help your mind to construct patterns out of loose connections that are typically neglected in the rush and bustle of your workplace.

Whatever they are, make sure you have a set of routines in place to help you ground yourself and maintain stability in the face of uncertainty. The infrastructure you build into your day is what will keep you going when life and job push you to your limitations.
