39. Spring Habit Shake-Up

It’s the end of another great month here on the Habit Thrive Podcast, and we’re ramping up our transition into spring. Last week, we were visualizing our summer plans and putting things into motion to allow those visions to become reality. But, now, I want to pull you back to the present. This week, on Episode #39, I want you to shake things up from a habit perspective and think about........... What’s working right now for you in this Spring season? What’s not working for you anymore? Thanks to the internet, there is no shortage of advice when it comes to healthy living and recommendations for curing what ails us. You can easily find experts with all sorts of backgrounds telling you to “drink this,” “eat that,” “take these” … And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with experimenting with recommendations that interest you. But, in your life and your body, YOU are the expert. So just because blogs and articles and podcasts tell you that drinking warm lemon water in the morning will help with your digestion doesn't mean it will work for you.  Maybe the lemon upsets your stomach. Maybe your dentist told you to stay away from lemons. Maybe you just don’t like it! Check it off your “I tried it” list, and let it go. You might already have a habit that works for your digestion: Peppermint or ginger tea; a strong cup of coffee; plain, room-temperature water. Is it a 365-day-a-year habit? It doesn’t have to be! It is possible - and often best for us - to let certain habits come and go (and change) just like the seasons. For example, you might find that a nice, warm bath on a winter evening helps you get that comfy, cozy feeling you need to fall asleep. But, in the summertime, that same bath might leave you feeling overheated and uncomfortable, and so you decide to skip the bath and use a cooling facial treatment instead. Or you may find yourself drinking coffee on fall and winter mornings and switching to green tea with honey in the spring. There are so many options and possibilities to explore and play with. 🙂 So be in the moment. Appreciate what works for you, and let go of what doesn’t! Lorrie xoxox Loving the show? Let’s connect!
