Six Habits for March

Spring is coming and it’s a great time to start some new habits. Here’s some inspiration!

Limit Screen Time

We all know that too much time online leads to doom and gloom. High screen time leads to disturbance in sleep, mood, and mindfulness.

Tips for Success
– Tell others about your goal and compare screen time every day
– Delete time-sucking apps like social media

Affirmations to stay on track:
– I can be informed without being constantly updated
– My life is full

Go Outside

It’s simple, but during the cold months it’s hard to do! Time outside reduces stress and increases Serotonin production.

Tips for Success
– Set a time each day to go outside that works with your schedule.
– Start small, in your backyard or on your porch!

Affirmations to stay on track:
– The world is mine to explore.
– I am worthy of fresh air.

Find Ways to Play

Play is good for the body, mind, and soul. It helps us connect with our inner child and gain endorphins!

Tips for Success
– Re-visit an old hobby or activity.
– Join a friend who already has play in their routine.

Affirmations to stay on track:
– Play is not just for kids.
– I deserve to have fun!

Check In

The world is isolating, checking in on your friends will foster connection and give you a chance to share about yourself.

Tips for Success
– Invite someone you recently met to an event or your favorite cafe.
– Start small, just a Facetime or text conversation will do!

Affirmations to stay on track:
– I am not a burden.
– My friends want to hear from me.

Sleep allows us to recharge. A good schedule can increase energy and mood.
