Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone's week is off to a good start. Today I'm sharing some of my daily habits that I've been trying really hard to be consistent with. By no means am I perfect at them, but I notice that I am a happier and more productive human when I am consistently doing these habits. I enjoy reading these types of posts on other lifestyle blogs, so I thought maybe you would enjoy reading this as well. 😉
In no particular order...
#1 - Move my body
This summer I have been slacking on my Peloton workouts. During the school year I am so consistent with getting out of bed early for some cardio and strength training! During the summer...I like to sleep in. 😉 Regardless of the time of year, I try really hard to move my body in some way each day. Right now, we've been taking lots of walks as a family, and I love this form of exercise! Dustin and I have some of our best chats while we walk together. It's a good reminder for me that walking is still a valuable exercise.
#2 - Spend intentional time with my boys
I can very easily find myself mindlessly scrolling throughout the day and not being fully present with the boys. I like to turn my phone on "do not disturb" and place it on the countertop so I'm not tempted to grab it and scroll. I know our time together this summer is fleeting, so I like to have moments where I just really sit in being with them. When I'm missing them during the school year, I'll think back on those moments in gratitude, knowing that I was present and enjoying my time with them.
#3 - Try to eat wholesome food
Working with Jack's allergies has been incredibly eye opening to the amount of *junk* found in food we eat. This summer I've noticed a shift in the food I prepare for my family. For example, rather than buy a package of taco seasoning (read the back, some of the ingredients can be scary!) I'll add some spices to whatever meat we're using. Lots of little shifts like this are happening in my cooking, and I feel good knowing it's having an impact on my family's health.
#4 - Read
I love to read! I typically always have a book going on my Kindle, and try to read during my downtime.
#5 - Put the house to bed
I love to wake up to a clean house each day, knowing that everything is neatly tucked away and ready for another day. Each night we put the toys away, arrange the pillows/blankets, wipe off the countertop, empty the sink of any dishes and run the dishwasher. I have a much more cheerful disposition in the morning if I wake up to a tidy home, rather than a disheveled one. 😉
That's it for today! I'd love to hear what some of your daily habits are. XX
