5 Tips to Make Your Healthy Habits Stick
As we transition seasons, it’s a perfect time to cultivate new healthy habits that enhance our wellbeing. At the Yoga Center of Columbia, Samira is here to support your journey with a diverse range of classes and a welcoming community that embraces all abilities, bodies, and ages. Here are five practical tips to help you maintain your healthy habits:
Buddy Up for Success: Pairing up with a friend or family member can significantly boost your motivation and accountability. Our community-oriented classes are ideal for building connections that keep you committed. Whether it’s a mobility-stretch session, a Pilates class, or a calming meditation, having someone to share the experience with can make all the difference. Ask our desk to help you “share” your classes with a friend of family member.
Focus on the Feel-Good: Studies show that people who concentrate on the immediate, positive feelings from exercise, like increased energy and improved mood, are more likely to continue than those who focus solely on weight loss. Celebrate how great it feels to move your body and the mental clarity that follows each session. Give yourself credit for helping your body, mind and spirit flourish.
Prep the Night Before: Lay out your workout clothes, fill up your water bottle, and set out your class go-bag the evening before. Preparing ahead of time makes it easier to get started and keeps you from skipping out on your health commitments.
Schedule It: Treat your exercise time like any important appointment. Use your calendar or smartphone to block out specific times for your classes and other activities. Regular scheduling not only builds a routine but also signals to yourself and others that this time is non-negotiable.
Diversify Your Routine: Keeping your exercise routine interesting is key to staying engaged. Explore different classes and workshops at the Yoga Center of Columbia to keep your regimen exciting. Our offerings cater to family members of all ages and abilities, making it easy to find something new that inspires you.
Remember, forming new habits doesn’t have to be a solo endeavor. At the Yoga Center of Columbia, you’ll find a supportive environment and the most experienced teachers in the DMV area to guide you every step of the way. Let’s make this a season of health, growth, and community!
