Healthy Habits
There are so many different elements that go into building and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As we've discussed, total health is about more than just what we eat and what we do for exercise, but it's about how we integrate healthy habits into our lifestyles. These habits contribute to the health of our bodies, minds & spirits, and also make physical health and losing inches that much easier as an added bonus!
This week, I wanted to talk about how establishing a morning routine helps with weight loss, which is yet another healthy habit we can develop to maximize our health.

#1: Mindset & Focus
First of all, establishing a consistent morning routine really helps to establish our mindset and focus for the day. In our busy lifestyles, it can be difficult to find time for ourselves with so many family, social, professional and community commitments. Taking some time to prioritize our routines in the morning can help us feel centered and prepared for everything else we will take on during the day!
Additionally, when we are trying to be mindful of eating right and maintaining healthy habits, it helps if we are consistent with those habits. Having a routine in the morning ensures that we have enough time to prepare food for the day, stay on top of our daily schedules and eat a fulfilling breakfast, which brings me to my next point...

#2: Filling, Protein Rich Breakfast
When we are rushing in the mornings, or do not have them properly planned out, it is very difficult to make the time to eat a proper breakfast. However, breakfast kick starts our metabolisms for the rest of the day, so it's immensely important to eat one that is filling and protein rich so that we feel energized and full throughout the day!
When we establish a morning routine, we ensure that we will have the time to nourish our bodies with a great breakfast, and enjoy it too! Wondering what to eat for breakfast? Check out my recent blog post about the 3 must eat breakfast foods.

#3: Planning For The Day
As mentioned above, what we do in the morning sets the tone for our entire day. Establishing a consistent routine in the morning gives us the time to plan and do everything necessary for the rest of the day. Will you need to prepare a lunch for yourself, or for your family? Will you need to pack extra clothes for exercising? Do you need to go grocery shopping? These are the kinds of questions that we will have the time to ask ourselves!
This consistency immensely helps maintain our healthy habits, and in turn keep working towards our health and fitness goals successfully!
