Day 31: What’s your intention?

“First it is an intention. Then a behavior. Then a habit.  Then a practice. Then a second nature.  Then it is simply WHO YOU ARE.” – Brendon Burchard

It’s simple really.  If you want to change your life, it starts with intention.  You are the CEO of your health.  We ALL are.  No one cares about your health more than you do.  (Read that again…slowly).  Have you been acting like the CEO of your health?  I know I wasn’t (I was more like a high level executive, but not the CEO).  I’ll bet you haven’t been acting like the CEO either. Newsflash: We all have the power to make a difference in our healthThis is ultimately how we will change our health care system.  It’s broken and to help fix it we have to stop waiting until our doctor tells us we are sick to make the changes we KNOW we should be making now.  Please don’t wait until you get a scary diagnosis to get your ass in gear.  Start now…TODAY!  Tomorrow never comes, we only have this moment. right. here!

So {on that happy note} let’s set an intention for higher health. I want you to go through the last 30 days and pick 3 of these health habits you want to continue implementing in your life. Maybe there’s a couple of days you missed, that you’d like to make up.  Or it could be something we didn’t address that you know you need to change like, eating from drive-thrus or limiting your alcohol consumption. Pick three things you want to seriously focus on becoming second nature to you. I don’t recommend picking what you think is the easiest…pick the things you know you need a little more help with {you know what they are!} and give them consistent focus over the next few weeks/months.

The three that I know I need a little more focus on are: phubbing (especially to my children), flossing (I’m hit or miss with this) and reducing the disposables I use frequently (paper plates, plastic baggies in the kids lunch, etc).  Additionally, I’ll have more posts over the next few weeks addressing some habits we didn’t tackle {looking at you wine bottle}. In the meantime, pick your three and share them with someone (or even here in the comments) to keep yourself accountable.  I’m cheering for you!!

Light and Love,
