Keystone Habits to improve your Health

Keystone Habits

Keystone Habit Healthy Eating

I remember working with a woman who struggled with her mental health and motivation. And after living with depression for many years the thing that changed all of that? It was making her bed. So simple yet it was a game-changer. Making her bed meant that she didn’t go back into bed. Then she added on a daily shower and getting dressed instead of staying in her pj’s. She started preparing breakfast and eating better. She later took on a volunteer role which gave her a sense of purpose and meaning to her day.

Making your bed is in fact a great example of a Keystone Habit.

Motivation

Motivation

Feeling motivated and keeping motivated can challenge all of us at various points in our daily life. Indeed, it’s one of the most common topics that people in my Happiness Club tell me they are struggling with. The number of people struggling with their motivation has significantly increased during the pandemic and the extended periods of lockdown and working from home. So, I asked our Happiness Club members this week, what helps you to get motivated? Well, there is a lot of knowledge in the group and I’ve added all that wisdom to my research and experience to bring you this comprehensive guide to how to get your motivation back and to stay motivated. Much of what I will share is fundamental to what makes us happy and some are the key steps in my Intentional Happiness Circle.

Rest

Julie Leonard Rest

During the week I block off an hour for a lunch break. I prepare some healthy food and then make  a pot of tea and relax on my sofa with a book for 30 minutes. I’ve come to realise that as well as a good night’s sleep, I also need to plan in some rest each day. With everything I do now online, I found myself sitting for long stretches of time in front of my laptop. It takes a lot of emotional energy to show up and be fully present with people when I am coaching and it takes a lot of creative energy to create content and resources. And I was finding that even after a good night’s sleep,  I was often still feeling tired.

Music Makes Us Happy

Music

Music is the soundtrack to my life. I grew up listening to music. My parents enjoyed music and I remember their vinyl collection of records we played that included Elton John, The Beatles and James Taylor. They also listened to folk music and we were often taken along to small concerts with them. I remember the radio always being on. Making space for the things that make you happy is one of the key concepts of Intentional Happiness.
