Building healthy habits and how to minimise habits that no longer serve you.
ONE.
Create Time for Important Things
Do you find yourself saying “I wish, but I don’t have time”, “maybe next week”? We know life is busy, but it is important to CARVE out time for the important things like exercise, good food, lunch breaks and spending quality time with loved ones.
Tip: Wake up earlier (start with 1 hour), get a diary, make a priority list, combine things (e.g. catch up during dinner or doing some exercise).

TWO.
Set Goals
Goals give us purpose, keep us focused and ensure we keep doing the ‘things’ needed to reach them.
Tip: We love using S.M.A.R.T goals.
THREE.
Plan Your Meals
Does your diet flop because you don’t have time, can’t be bothered or have no food in the fridge? Plan out your meals the week before and shop before the week starts so you have everything sorted for the week. Head to our recipe blogs here.
Tips: Cook double the night before so you have left overs. Buy a recipe book for new inspiration. Keep Bone Broth Power in the pantry for those quick kicks of nourishment, simply add hot water or use as ramen base (see here).
FOUR.
Get Active
Move your body everyday in some way, this helps with your mood, digestion, muscle strength and joint mobility.
Tips: Move first thing, this prevents it from being missed later in the day. Aim for at least 10-20 minutes which is achievable for many.
FIVE.
Switch Off
It is important for our mental wellbeing that we unplug from our electronics, work and social media to recharge our energy.
Tip: Switch off electronics 1 hour before bedtime and don't turn back on until 1 hour after waking.
SIX.
Create Boundaries
Keep your energy and vibes high. This could be boundaries with work, people, food - anything.
Tips: Limit your work days to X hours so you don’t burn out. Surround yourself with people who nourish you and make you feel happiest. If you know a certain type of food is making you feeling 'meh', remove it from your life.

SEVEN.
Get Quality Sleep
Our team works best off 7-9 hours sleep, find how many hours you need to function optimally and create habits to get this amount of sleep consistently.
Tips: A general rule of thumb is aligning with your natural rhythm to rise with the sun and rest when the night falls.

EIGHT.
Consume Enough Water
Water helps our cells stay nice and plump, and with roughly 60%+ (source) of the average human body being made up of water it's pretty important!
Tips: Get a nice drink bottle, add in a squeeze of lemon to help you drink more, consider trying to drink 0.033L per body weight + extra when exercising or living in the heat (e.g. 85kg x 0.033 = 2.8L).
