  • Habit #8: Go out for a walk everyday (August)

    For August, I focused on something simple yet grounding: getting outside for a walk every day — even if it was just for 10 minutes. Working from home has its perks, but some days I don’t step outside at all, and I know that’s not good for either my body or my mind. So I…

  • Habit #7: Drink a green juice or eat a salad everyday (JULY)

    I really tried, but honestly, I found myself being too lazy to stick to this habit consistently. I think I’ve been juggling too much at once, and maybe I’m not quite ready yet to take full responsibility in this area. I felt a bit disappointed in myself for not keeping the promise I made—but I’m…

  • Habit #6: Wake Up at 5 AM Every Day (June)

    For June, I decided to gently reset my mornings by waking up at 5 AM. With my sleep all over the place, I wanted to bring in some structure—not out of pressure, but as an act of self-kindness. This habit felt like a small promise to myself: to show up, to slow down, and to…

  • Habit #5: Dance Like No One’s Watching (May)

    My apologies for the delayed post—I was traveling. But this habit turned out to be one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had in a long time. Dancing brought me moments of pure joy, contentment, and lightness—emotions I haven’t felt deeply in years. I started smiling at myself in the mirror more often. I felt…

  • Habit #4: Early Dinner before 7 PM (April)

    For April, I chose something food-related again—finishing dinner before 7 PM. Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that eating earlier makes me feel lighter and more energetic the next morning. I believe this habit has the potential to help with my sleep struggles as well, so I was curious to see where it would…

  • Habit Tracker

    I’ve decided to maintain a habit tracker so I can keep a daily record of which habits I followed successfully. The goal isn’t perfection—but awareness. Tracking helps me stay accountable and gently encourages me to keep going, even on the tough days and you can see the progress too. I hope this template helps you…

  • Habit #3: Exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday(March)

    How Moving My Body Transformed My Mind and Energy For March, I decided to focus on fitness. My goal was to do some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes daily—whether walking, dancing, jogging, or yoga. As I get older, I realize how important physical fitness is, not just for my body but also…

  • Habit #2: Breakfast before 10 am(February)

    For my second habit, I chose something I’ve been struggling with due to a lack of self-discipline: my diet. It’s completely disorganized. I rarely eat breakfast, and I often binge eat unhealthy foods later in the day. This has led to unhealthy weight gain, malnutrition, severe hair fall, and a general sense of physical unfitness.…

  • Habit #1: Gratitude Journaling(January)

    Every time I had searched for answers on how to find joy in life or overcome feelings of suffering and emptiness, one key concept kept coming up which is gratitude. I decided to give it a try for the first time in my life, to see how it felt. I want to share some quotes…
