Here’s the idea: every week in 2020, we choose something that we want to do better. Something small. You know, probably one of those things that we’ve been “meaning” to do for a long time, but somehow didn’t manage to quite make a habit out of it. I have a whole bunch of them.
For week one, it’s time to get hydrated.
The first “small daily act” that we’ll take on in 2020 is drinking enough water. Opinions vary, but generally speaking 8×8 (8 glasses x 8 oz) seems like a good way to go. Herbal teas count. Vodka doesn’t.
These small daily acts are the little things that form the fabric of our lives. But even though they’re small, they move our health and wellness dial. For me, these behaviours nudge me from “anxious, depressive, unhealthy” mess into “connected, empowered, resilient” human being.
But here’s the rule: if you fail, you try again the next day. We are practicing resilience as much as we are trying to reap the benefits of “the good thing.”
And naturally, you can set your own small daily acts if mine don’t work for you.
This first week is a little different: it’s only 4 days long so that we can start our new daily act on a Monday. Just seems a little more intuitive that way as we move forward.
Ready? Here we go.
