7 Small Habits That Will Change Your Life

It’s hard to imagine sometimes that small things can have such a deep impact.

But if you’ve ever doubted the impact of tiny actions then think about how erosion created the Grand Canyon. Over time, something as small as sand, water, and rock have created one of the most awesome of nature’s miracles.

Small habits will affect your life in a way that will create lasting and significant change.

Read on and find some habits you can start implementing immediately that will begin reshaping you into the person that you’ve always been meant to be.

1. GET UP ON TIME

Starting the day with multiple hits of the snooze alarm sets a bad tone for the rest of the day.

You obviously set the alarm with the intention of rising at that hour – why are you breaking that promise to yourself?

By getting up on time, you’re putting a positive start on the day. Shouldn’t you give yourself the best odds of a good day as possible?

2. EAT HEALTHILY AT EVERY MEAL

It’s hard to feel energized when you’re slogging along on a diet filled with fats and sugars.

When you put more healthy choices onto your plate, you will feel better. Your mind will be sharper, and you'll be better energized to get through the day.

Start small. Add a salad to your meal or replace dessert with that piece of fruit instead.

3. EXERCISE

Before you get caught up thinking you need a lot of fancy equipment or a huge time investment to feel good, think again.

Start small. Try taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator or going for a short walk around your neighborhood.

4. READ MORE

Dedicating a half-hour of every day to your mind means that you’re constantly sharpening your mind and exposing yourself to new ideas.

Pick books that inspire you or encourage you to think.

5. REALIZE YOU’RE AN ‘IDEA’ PERSON

Make a goal of writing down a few ideas every day.

Some researchers suggest ten but even one new idea a day means that you’ve got source material to draw from when you’re looking for something new to challenge yourself with.

6. BECOME MORE MINDFUL

Meditate.

Even starting small has the positive impact of reducing stress, lowering your heart rate, and bringing a mind that’s running in a million directions at once back on track.

7. THINK ABOUT YOUR DAY

When you finish the day, reflect on your accomplishments. Focus on the things you’re proud of and the things that made you smile.

None of these items should take very long – even 15 or 20 minutes a day on some of these is enough to create lasting change.

What you’re going to find out very quickly is that by practicing these habits you’ll not only feel better, you’ll like the person that you’re becoming.

That is creating your #bestself. If a small change can do all that, then isn’t it time you got started?

Using a habit tracker can help keep you accountable. This Printable Habit Tracker Bundle has 8 different options for you to choose from.

Simply print them out and add them to your planner or bullet journal.

Don’t try to create too many new habits all at once. It’s simpler and more realistic to work on one new habit at a time.
