Three Simple Steps to Creating That Healthy Habit

1/22/2018

 
On average, it takes someone 66 days to turn a healthy activity into a habit - 66 days! That means you’re drinking 8 cups of water, running 15 minutes, or hitting the gym every single day for 66 days straight.

Well have you ever attempted to workout, but felt absolutely no motivation to do so? Or maybe you have no idea where to start and the thought of getting active constantly gets pushed aside.

Well you’re certainly not alone in those feelings! Sometimes it’s hard to get started or to figure out what works best for you. However, that doesn’t mean you should give up all together. Here are a few tips to make that healthy habit stick and add to your healthy lifestyle in 2018!
  1. Find Something You Enjoy
Let’s not forget that at the end of the day, this is for YOU. So to ensure you’ll stick to this healthy habit it has to be something YOU enjoy. Simple as that.
  1. Set a Schedule
Habits form best when they’re at the same time. Find or make time in your schedule that works to continuously do that activity. Start by determining if you have more energy in the morning or in the evening and go from there.
  1. Every Bit Counts
It truly does. Walk wherever you’re going when possible and opt to drink water when eating out. These are just a few examples of how you can stay mindful of this healthy lifestyle you want to build. Just remember to be patient with yourself and you’ll build your habit in time.

​If you’re looking for something to work towards, mark your calendar for the Longhorn Run this April 14th. Registration will be open February 1st and a training plan will kickoff soon after! Rather you’re an avid runner or haven’t made it to a mile, you can push yourself with the option of a 5k or 10k. Follow us on social @LonghornRun for updates and inspiration!
