7 Tips For Sticking with Healthy Habits Beyond January

The latest from Lexi's Clean Kitchen View this email in your browser Hey friends! Happy *almost* February!  Remember those goals and intentions you made on January 1st? Are you planning to stick with them? It can be so easy and exciting to create new goals for yourself, but where it gets difficult is maintaining healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Creating healthy habits for yourself (and your family) and making them a part of your lifestyle is not only good for your health, but also important for your self-esteem and confidence. Today we're talking 7 ways to help maintain healthy habits! But first... What you missed this week: Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Chicken Buddha Bowl with Spicy Mango Sauce Our Best Cauliflower Recipes Teaching Your Baby to Sleep: Sleep Training Q&A 7 TIPS TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY HABITS 1. Be kind to yourself and celebrate your victories. This is the most important tip we can offer. Beating yourself up over your perceived "failure" is absolutely no way to maintain any type of habit except the habit of negativity. Celebrating what you have achieved, no matter how small! 2. Make a plan. Choose one of these meal plans to stick with for the week ahead! 3. Just get started. It's never too late! Take any possible small step you can towards your goal. If your goal is to get to the gym in the day, put your gym clothes on! You are now one step closer to getting there. If your goal is to eat more vegetables pack some cucumber sticks with you at the start of the day. Don't wait for tomorrow to start. Do it as soon as you possibly can with the smallest step you can manage if that is where you are it. 4. Try to accomplish less.

When we think about healthy habits it is usually attached to a result (such as losing weight or getting 8 solid hours of sleep). Instead try to focus on the habit itself that will get you to your goal. Just "show up" with what it is you need to do and make that a habit first, and then work out the rest of the details later about how to get to your goal. 6. Make sleep a priority.  Click on the image below to read my Ultimate Guide to Better Sleep. 7. Stress management.
