Why good day there! Joyful 2023! It’s been some time, hasn’t it? However one factor I’d like to be higher at this yr is running a blog. Name me old fashioned, however I like it. It’s simply such an awesome centralised hub for ALL THE CONTENT. Plus, from a purely egocentric side it’s like an internet diary that handily permits me to search out the protein pancake recipe that I used to make all the time again in 2015. So right here’s to running a blog extra this yr! The posts may be a bit of snappier, they usually’ll greater than seemingly be little much less heavy on the picture-front, however hopefully they’ll be extra of them. So maintain a watch spherical right here for lists, mind dumps and simply useful sources and round-ups. First, up my 2023 every day habits…

By way of resolutions I’ve saved it easy this yr. I believed I’d give the entire ‘12 Week Yr‘ factor a go; an thought through which you break up the yr down in quarters and set your objectives for the 12 weeks forward solely. They may mount as much as an enormous change all through the entire yr, however at that one cut-off date you’re simply centered on the rapid steps forward. Easy, proper? My first aim – begin a craft as a interest (therefore the crochet hook – I’ve knitted three squares thus far), and full a easy venture earlier than the tip of March. My second aim – journey extra, which for the subsequent 12 weeks has damaged down into the steps of type out Ralph with a passport and e-book a summer season vacation for us all. My third aim? Full a tough reset for January. For me which means finishing all my every day habits on a regular basis for the primary month of the yr. To this point, so good and in doing so I hope to determine some habits that I start to do with out even pondering about them. This lady wanted a kick up the rear to do some easy steps which in the end depart me feeling actually good, sleeping higher and total simply being a happier me. Every is famous in a behavior monitoring desk on my Notion (as a result of I simply LOVE THAT STUFF), and as I do them every day I tick them off. Right here’s how I’m making them very easy for me to finish…

HABIT #1 – Journal. In the direction of the tip of final yr I began the 5 Minute Journal* and have you learnt what? It’s fab. I really feel prefer it actually places me in a superb temper for the day forward. I’ve now transferred this right into a template into my Notion that I begin afresh on a regular basis as a result of doing it digitally means I can do it on my telephone in mattress with out waking anybody up within the morning!

HABIT #2 – Each day dietary supplements. It is a easy one, however having a small little one throughout the winter months is an endurance take a look at of your immune system – let me inform you! I’ve purchased myself a Tablet Field* that I refill weekly so I by no means miss a dose. Plus I maintain it in my skincare drawer so I make certain I see it each morning and each night.

HABIT #3 – Eat complete meals. Blah, blah, a cliche I do know, however I used to be simply so sick of consuming a big bag of crisps for lunch as a result of there was no different meals to eat in the home. The irony is that I LOVE feeding the little man scrumptious meals, however I used to be not prioritising myself. So the plan right here is 2 fold. Firstly, pushing meals outlets up the precedence listing and ensuring they’re filled with elements that may maintain us ALL, all day lengthy. And secondly, I’ve created a meal concepts template in Notion so each time I’m feeling a bit uninspired, it’s simple for me to search out issues that I wish to eat and are fast to prepare dinner.

HABIT #4 – Motion. Ahhh once more, you’ve obtained me. I’m a strolling, speaking new years cliche BUT I felt myself slowing stepping into the swing of every day motion in the direction of the tip of final yr and I’d love for it to be one thing I simply do. Mark and I’ve booked in our favorite Pilates Instructor to come back to the home weekly – so no excuses there! And I’m giving some totally different exercises a go, so hopefully my week will include spinning, pilates and strolling with a little bit of energy coaching thrown in too – just like the previous days! I used to put in writing my weekly schedule down on paper, however I now schedule it in Notion which supplies me a bit extra flexibility with regards to shifting issues round and retaining observe. I simply really feel a lot clearer in my thoughts and sleep so a lot better once I’ve moved my physique. Boring, however true.

HABIT #5 – Magnificence self-care. This a pleasant one. I actually wished to have a every day behavior that was all for me. A strategy to carve out a while of each single day for myself, which I personally simply discover so, so crucial to my psychological well being. So whether or not it’s a pleasant lengthy tub, 10 minutes with a LED Masks*, a bit of Gua Sha* routine, a full physique faux tan – not solely do this stuff make me really feel nice bodily, they assist me mentally too. If ever I’m feeling a bit uninspired, I’ve made a listing of issues in my – yep you’ve guessed it – Notion.

HABIT #6 – Whering app. It’s a easy one, however I misplaced my approach with digitally diarising my wardrobe throughout the months of November and December and I’d like to do it for a complete yr only for the analytics alone as a result of I’m a NERD. So I’ve up to date the app with any newer purchases I’ve made and normally log my outfit for the day while I’m brushing my tooth within the night. This an actual simple one to tick off.
