Breaking Habits

Hap Happ Happpy Friday Everyone!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a nice productive week and is ready to just enjoy the heck out of themselves because YOU deserve it!

I don't have too many big plans as of yet, just volunteering at a black tie auction event on Saturday and maybe head out for a couple cocktails after but other than that, probably my usual hiking and relaxing.

Today I wanted to talk about breaking habits.. Whether it be your eating habits, leaving dirty dishes everywhere or biting your nails.

For me I personally am trying to change my eating habits the most.  My eating is really not that bad, but I realized that I wasn't so good at portion control.. and I snacked throughout the day a lot; whether it be out of boredom or because it was just... there.  I'm trying to portion everything I eat and drink water when I start to get a tiny bit hungry rather than automatically reaching for a snack.
I also try to snack on more vegetables and fruits rather than protein bars or shakes.  I think my body would appreciate nutrients from real food rather than from artificial substances (although I am so weird and love protein shakes and bars).

I'm also trying to break the habit of getting complacent. Complacent with an ok job, with relationships (friendships or intimate), or with anything I go through in my life.  I think we tend to settle without meaning to or even knowing because we fall into a routine of doing things and we fear change.  You know you could strive to be better and do better but you always have that dark cloud of doubt in the back of your mind 'what if it doesn't work out?' or 'what if I fail?'.  It took me my whole life to realize that I'd rather live with a whole lot of failures from trying than living with 'I wish I would have'.

So, find your habits to break. Challenge yourself and believe you can, because you can do WHATEVER you put your mind to.

If you have a few minutes, watch one of my favorite motivational video.. I used to watch this every morning when I wake up and it really is something!

Hope you guys have an amazing weekend and remember, believe in yourself! :)

Cheers,
