Hiya Gorgeous!
Habits. This simple little word is just six letters long, but it holds oh-so-much meaning.
Many of us know what we want to do differently and the promise of a better way of living (and feeling!) can be so inspiring—there’s just something super energizing about the potential to experience more of our glorious lives. But sticking to wonderful practices that we know will help us accomplish our goals them can often prove difficult.
Goals need follow through support. So keep reading, my friend, because I’m giving you my top 5 proven tips for maintaining healthy habits.
How to Maintain Healthy Habits
1. Choose 3-5 Goals
Fewer goals will allow you to focus your attention and efforts more effectively. Start with 3 (and no more than 5!) healthy habit, self-loving goals per year. Limiting your goals to a manageable number also has a nice side benefit of boosting your stress management.
2. Get Clear About Motivation
When you are clear, you can visualize things better. Be clear about what you want (your goal) and why you want it (your motivation). This will help you stick with it! Write it down. Post it so you can see it. Allow it to fuel your intent. And also get clear on how you’re going to make it happen (your action plan). We may love to dream and manifest, but if we poop out on planning the supportive actions we need, we’ll fall short.
Know what you want, and clarify how you’ll get there before you begin. Clarity will help you visualize your healthier habits. Athletes use visualization as a tool, and studies confirm that visualization helps build the mindset needed to achieve short- and long-term goals.

3. Find an Accountability Buddy
Creating healthy habits requires repetition and support. We need each other! There’s strength in numbers, so find a person or group of people who are interested in the same goal, and do it together. Gamify it! Turning goals into games that enhance support or competition has been shown to significantly increase you actually doing it. (Source)
4. Plan Your Success
Meal plans. Scheduling self-care activities. When we make it a priority to set up for what’s ahead, we make it easier (and less stressful!) to succeed. Studies have shown that plans are effective in helping you start and maintain a goal, and even help build your capability for future goals!

Self-care is part of your mental and physical health care, so plan your success!
5. Believe in Yourself
All the tips and hacks in the world won’t matter if you don’t believe you can do it. You can do anything you put your mind to. Any voice that says you can’t is false. And if you find that sometimes your inner voice is not your cheerleader, then you can believe me when I say It’s not your fault. You’re not lazy or uncommitted (or whatever you might say to yourself in those difficult moments) because this is not about willpower. You just need the right tools to keep those wonderful healthy habits alive!
