Healthy Habit Hacks
Nibbling at Healthy Eating
Whether you’re striving for a healthy weight or just eating for wellness, try a technique called habit stacking to help you tap out a healthier daily regimen.
合适位
Use habit stacking to help reclaim your rhythm 和 to renew your focus on fitness.
轻松一点
If the p和emic has thrown you out of step, habit stacking might help you regain your rhythm with modest, stress-busting practices.
Every journey, including your own journey to better health 和 well-being, begins with just one step.
Although getting 和 staying healthy can feel like a big challenge, it doesn't have to be. Working small, positive steps into your daily life can help you build a healthier life routine.
But just putting them on your mental to-do list might not be enough.
Tying those positive steps to other things you already do regularly — a practice called "habit stacking," or "habit chaining " — can help turn them into ironclad habits. 例如, you could take a daily habit, like brushing your teeth, 和 add in a little movement, like doing five squats.
Here are a few other ideas.
You don't have to do the new habit at the same time as the current habit. You can add new habits before, during or after the original habit.
| 日常习惯 | Healthy habit to add |
|---|---|
| 散步 | Focus mindfully on the sights 和 sounds of your walk (instead of daily stressors at work or home). |
| Writing a to-do list | Start by listing one or two things you are grateful for every day. |
| Making coffee or tea | Wash 和 slice up a vegetable for snacking while you wait for water to heat or tea to steep. |
