What’s Your New Year’s Nudge?
Every New Year is a nudge for making ourselves better. For some, it is better at playing the piano; for some it is better at saving money; for some, it is better at managing personal nutrition or trying a new exercise. I’ve decided to get better at yoga in the New Year because it will keep me flexible and strong. Even though I’m a beginning yogi, I am determined to get better at it, step by step, day by day.
There are so many ways to launch yourself to ‘better-ness’ one step at a time in the New Year. Here are 7 options to think over — and perhaps you’ll find the determination in yourself to begin practicing one right now!
7 Options for the New Year
- Eat a piece of fruit everyday at breakfast.
- Drink a big glass of water before and after you exercise.
- Spend 15-30 minutes writing down a weekly meal plan before you write a shopping list.
- Set aside more time for your grocery shopping trip and think about every choice.
- Make dinner a more balanced meal that includes plenty of green vegetables.
- Talk with your kids about why it’s important to eat colorful, healthy foods.
- Try a new, colorful fruit or vegetable – with the entire family – once a week.
