Habits for Hope

There are no magic veggies 🙂
What's a veggie or two that you enjoy and can incorporate into your routine this week?

What’s the best way to form a new habit?

IMPLEMENTATION INTENTION takes advantage of the two most common cues that can trigger an action: time and location.

When you set an implementation intention, you no longer have to wait to feel motivated, you’ve already planned what you’ll do and when.

Here are some examples:
Meditation: I will practice 1 minute of deep breathing at 6:30 am in my bedroom.
Movement: I will walk for 15 minutes at 5pm around the block.
Personal development: I will study for 20 minutes at 6pm in my bedroom.

What IMPLEMENTATION INTENTION can you set this weekend?
