Here are some suggestions for simple yet meaningful HEART habits to cultivate:
Holistic:
- Take a walk in nature while doing a body scan to become aware of physical sensations
- Do gentle stretches first thing in the morning to integrate body, mind and spirit
Ethical:
- Buy locally-sourced foods to support sustainable agriculture
- Use reusable grocery bags and water bottles to reduce waste
Adaptive:
- Learn a new recipe that incorporates nutrient-dense foods
- Switch up your exercise routine to keep your body adapting
Restorative:
- Take 5 minutes for mindfulness meditation during a busy day
- Unplug from devices 30 minutes before bedtime to rest deeply
Transformative:
- Have an open, non-judgmental conversation with a loved one
- Journal 3 things you feel grateful for to cultivate an abundance mindset
Start with small, manageable steps that feel nourishing. Routinize these rituals into your lifestyle. Behavior change takes time, self-compassion and community support. Know that each HEART-centered act of self-care ripples out to uplift others. Together we can transform our world through mindful living.
