Current Habits

Here is a list of habits I am working on in 2016:

New habits

  • Gratitude – Name something I love or appreciate about myself. Goal: 350 times by the end of 2016. (goal set on Jan. 1)
  • Living Space – Do some intentional cleaning. Goal: 50 times by the end of 2016. (goal set on Jan. 1)
  • Fueling – eat a vegetable with at least two meals. Goal: 150 times by the end of 2016 (goal set on Feb. 7th). Eat a source of protein with at least 2 meals. Goal: 265 times by the end of 2016. Goal set on Feb. 25th
  • Movement – do something myself instead of asking my husband to do it for me. Goal: 150 times by the end of 2016 (goal set on Feb. 7th). Parking at the far end of the parking lot, as long as the weather is good. (not tracking this on the spreadsheet, just making an effort to do it).
  • Productivity – On work days, eating my lunch somewhere other than at my desk, whether it is outside, in my car, or even at the conference table. Leaving my lunchbox in my car on workdays, instead of bringing it to my desk in the morning. Putting my phone away in a drawer while I’m at work. (not tracking these, just making an effort to do them).

  • Fueling  – Eat a green vegetable: 355 days in 2016. Take Vitamin D: 355 times in 2015.
  • Sleep – Finish my food for the day by 8pm: 225 times in 2016. No TV shows started after 9pm: 250 times in 2016. In bed by 10pm: 250 times in 2016.
  • Gratitude – Name something for which I feel grateful: 350 days in 2016.
