As we continue to step into the beginning of a new year, filled with aspirations and resolutions, it's essential to consider the sustainability of the healthy habits we aim to cultivate. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting an Instagram Stamina Live session with Health Coach Carrie Best, an Integrative Health Coach and Nutritionist, where we delved into the importance of maintaining and strengthening these habits throughout the year. Here are the key insights shared to help you embark on a journey of wellness and fulfillment.
Redefining Resolutions:
Rather than viewing wellness goals as lofty New Year's resolutions, Coach Carrie encourages breaking them down into sustainable practices. By focusing on manageable chunks and avoiding overwhelm, we pave the way for long-term success. This approach shifts the narrative from short-lived resolutions to enduring healthy lifestyle changes.
Understanding the Significance of Healthy Habits:
Healthy habits serve as the cornerstone of our overall well-being. They encompass various aspects of our lives, from nutrition and physical activity to rest and mental clarity. By nurturing these habits, we not only enhance our health but also fortify our resilience in facing life's challenges.
The Power of Self-Love and Support:
Building sustainable habits requires not only self-love but also a strong support system. Surrounding ourselves with mentors, friends, or professionals who keep us accountable and champion our journey can make all the difference. By sharing our challenges and victories with others, we cultivate a sense of camaraderie that fuels our motivation and resilience. Currently, many tweens and teens noticed the connecting value of doing a skincare regimen together. Especially in the evening, it's an opportunity to reduce stress, to brighten a stamina skin glow, and chat/catch-up with friends on FaceTime while exchanging skin care notes.
Mind Hacks to Help Habits Stick:
There are certain mind hacks which help to enhance healthy habit consistency. You can find many of these in the book, Atomic Habits by James Clear . Here are some of Dr. MBK, our founder’s favorites: habit stacking (for instance, brush teeth and apply sunscreen combo every morning, and brush teeth and moisturizer combo every night), 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins, have alternative plans if schedule changes, which often happens in professional parents' lives.
Embracing the Journey:
In the pursuit of wellness, it's essential to find joy in the process. By infusing intentionality into our daily rituals and embracing self-care as a form of self-expression, we create a sustainable lifestyle that aligns with our values and aspirations. Check out our Integrative Skin Care, Stamina Synergy to integrative mindful components and wellness as part of your skin care ritual and skin-care and wellness habit stacking. This integrative approach to skin care helps with skin stress reduction and optimizes skin balance along with our skin resilience building skin care line up. Remember, it's not about perfection but progress.
As we embark on this journey of wellness and self-discovery, let's prioritize self-care, celebrate our successes, and embrace the beauty of transformation. Together, we can cultivate sustainable habits that nourish our mind, body, and soul, paving the way for a fulfilling and vibrant life.
Be Well,
