Creating intentional, mindful and healthy habits is so important! If you want to improve any aspect of your life, you need to look at your daily habits. Right now, take some time to think about your goals and what your dream life would look like every day.
Do you want to wake up at 6am to go for a morning run? Or maybe do you want to always have a clean and organized home? Do you want to eat healthier and workout consistently?
Whatever your dream life looks like to you, I want you to ask yourself, “Are my daily habits helping me achieve my dream life?” If your answer is no, then YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR HABITS!!! And lucky for you, in this post I’m sharing 50 super simple habits that you can use to improve your life this year and finally start living the life you’ve dreamed of.

How To Build a New Habit
Now, building new habits that actually stick can take some time, so I wouldn’t try incorporating all 50 of these into your life. Just the ones that make sense to you! Start by choosing 2-3 habits from the list below that you can dedicate your time to. Make sure you’re choosing realistic and achievable new habits for your lifestyle.
If you are someone that needs to be held accountable so you don’t give up, I recommend downloading the Habitify app. I use it to track all the habits I’m working on and it’s AMAZING. It’s a pretty straightforward app and it’s so easy to track your daily progress and get reminders.
Currently one of the habits I’m working on is flossing every night before bed. I definitely would have forgotten to floss some nights if I didn’t get reminders on my phone!
Along with having a virtual habit tracker, I also recommend writing your habits down on paper and sticking it to your fridge, mirror or somewhere you will see it! This way, you’ll be reminded of it every time you walk by.
