A Loving Nudge Toward Healthier Habits

I find conversations about the current global pandemic to be difficult on this platform. On any typical week, this blog reaches over 200 different countries. Can you believe it? I mean, over 80 people from Zimbabwe in the last week alone. Crazy.

As the pandemic evolves and expands and contracts across the globe, a blog post appropriate for one country may not be appropriate for another. As a result, I’ve been left wondering a bit on how to talk about it.

But there is a conversation I feel burdened in my heart to share with you. My guess is that the subject matter will resonate with many of you. But if it does not, maybe there is still something worthwhile you can pull from it. I hope that is the case.

I’m noticing an important trend, at least in America—the increase of unhealthy habits during this crisis.

For example:

• Television viewing has increased to 41 hours/week on average (up almost 30%).
• Americans spend twice as much money online shopping since the pandemic began.
• For 8 consecutive weeks, beer sales have topped $1B—the highest ever.
• Cigarette smoking has made a comeback during the pandemic.
• Video game usage has increased 50%.
• Unhealthy sleep patterns have emerged for 67% of Americans.
• And 76% of Americans have gained weight from mid-March—up to 16 pounds so far.

Catherine Price, author of How to Break Up With Your Phone and contributor to Simplify Magazine, made an important observation in a recent interview for Freedom. Speaking about the current pandemic, she said this:

It’s hard to focus when your anxiety is high—and this is a time of high anxiety. Physiologically speaking, this is partially due to the effects that stress has on our brains—namely, the part of our brain that is responsible for rational decision-making tends to be less active when we are stressed out (it sort of hides under a rock), leaving us less able to resist our impulses (for example, to check the news again and again and again when we are supposed to be working).”

Catherine was speaking, in this context, about why it is hard to focus during times of high anxiety. But the connection can also be made to healthy habits, which typically require focus and intentionality.

I have learned that when we are not intentional with our time and focus, unhealthy habits emerge. In fact, I have seen them emerge in my own life over the last several months. My guess, based on some of the statistics above, I am not alone.

This is a period of high anxiety for all of us. And as a result, unhealthy habits are beginning to emerge and take root in our lives. It is wise for us to notice that, and begin nudging ourselves toward healthier ones.

How then, do we keep healthy habits part of our lives? Especially as the anxiety continues to loom.

How to Keep Healthy Habits Active

1. Remember that your life is valuable.

The crisis that surrounds us, at times, reminds us of our smallness—there is little that most of us can do to stop the anxiety on a global scale.

However, that should not detract from the inherent value of your individual life. You are unique and special and bring a joy into the world that only you can bring.

Remind yourself how important you are to the people around you and allow that fact to motivate you to make the most of every day and every hour.

2. Count every day precious.

The days for you may be long or short, extra busy or extra lonely. Or maybe they all run together so that you hardly remember what day of the week it is.

Regardless, every day is still precious. Every sunrise is a gift and opportunity to make the most of your day ahead. Remind yourself to not waste any of them.

3. Be firm with yourself.

Do take note, on regular occasion, how you are going to be responsible with your days and energy and focus.

At some point, we need to step outside ourselves and evaluate if we are allowing unhealthy habits to take root in our lives. If so, we must be firm with ourselves in identifying those unhealthy habits and committing to be intentional in removing them.

4. Be patient with yourself.

The times, indeed, are new. And as Catherine point outs above, there are very real physiological changes taking place in our body because of the increased stress levels. So it is smart to be patient with ourselves as we seek to remove any unhealthy habits that have emerged in our lives.

5. Embrace a 3-item to-do list for healthy habits.

I discovered the 3-Item To-Do List several years ago and have loved it ever since.

In a workplace, the 3-item to-do list seeks to recognize the 3 most important tasks to complete each day. The 3 tasks, when completed, allow you to feel accomplished about your day.

In the same way, trending toward healthy habits can be encouraged by applying the 3-item to-do list approach. What are the three actions (or non-actions) you most want to incorporate into your day?

For example: 1) Read 30 minutes; 2) Call one friend; 3) Eat two servings of vegetables. Three items, three habits, to incorporate each day to keep your life trending toward healthy habits.

I recommend a daily routine that includes a physical habit (exercise), a mental habit (reading, mind puzzles), and a social habit.

6. Look for opportunities to control what you can.

When the world feels out of control is when it is most important to take back control wherever you can.

You have little control over a virus outbreak on the other side of the world, but you do have control over what time you go to bed, what time you wake up, and whether you take a shower in the morning.

To help overcome anxiety and regain rational decision-making, control what you can. You may discover it is more than you think.

7. Ask for help.

Community and accountability are important, especially in a time of increased isolation. And many of your friends are struggling to keep healthy habits as well, so include them in your nudge.

Challenge your friend to exercise when you do, become your pen pal, or trade some healthy recipe ideas. When you share your journey and plans with others, you become more accountable to accomplish them. And you end up encouraging others to live their best life too.

I am noticing in my life, the longer the abnormal nature of life persists, the more difficult it is to stay healthy and focused on my habits.

However, despite the pandemic, tomorrow is no less valuable than a day last year. And your one life is no less important to the world than it was before. So keep living your best one.

Consider this just a loving nudge toward healthy habits in your life.

Two Keys for Living Slowly and Connected

Note: This is a guest post from Danae Smith of This Wondrous Life.

It was my lunch break in the summer of 2014. I was sitting by a fountain in Washington, D.C., when I realized how I was simply existing, but not fully engaging with my life.

I was working a job I needed, but didn’t love. I’d bought into the glorification of hustling and busyness. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted.

The idea to choose to live simply, slowly, and connected felt elusive and unproductive. But, I knew it was a path I needed to take for me to fully show up wholeheartedly to the world before me. So, I began this pursuit to live a more slow and simple life.

It didn’t happen overnight. It’s a daily journey of choosing to lean into each moment before me. There are two keys that have helped me on this journey that I hope can help you:

Key 1: Being Present

Our attention is constantly pulled. Whether it’s the daily responsibilities and tasks we manage or mindless scrolling through social media, our attention is always being wooed from one thing to the next.

When starting to live slow, I knew I needed to learn to be present.

Being present requires intentionality and effort. It also doesn’t look one way. For me, it has looked like taking the extra effort to make full eye contact when a loved one is sharing with me rather than multitasking on my phone. However, it can look like putting your phone on do-not-disturb during dinner; or it can look like being acutely aware of your surroundings and the sensations you may see, feel, hear, or even taste, taking mental notes of them.

I have found in being present, there is so much color to the mundanity of daily life. There is beauty and purpose in every moment and encounter.

Key 2: Getting Grounded

Develop and build a daily ritual or routine that allows you to connect with yourself.

It can be 5 minutes or 30 minutes. Do what feels natural for you. It’s not about quantity versus quality. 

The goal of a daily ritual or routine isn’t to do more stuff, but to do what matters. It’s dedicating time to catch your breath, to ground yourself in gratitude and mindfulness.

While building your daily routine, fill it with things that help you stay connected and centered. For me, it often looks like making a cup of coffee first thing and enjoying it. But for you, it could be stretching or running. It could be getting up before everyone else and sitting in silence.

Whatever it may be, having a set time each day where you ground and center yourself helps in this journey of living slowly and connected.

As you choose a journey of slow and simple living, I encourage you to be gracious with yourself.

Life is a process and nothing happens overnight. There are valleys and mountaintops; twists and turns. Choosing to live slowly and connected goes against the grain of culture and society. Some days will be easy breezy. Other days will prove more difficult.

Nevertheless, keep choosing slowness. Keep choosing simplicity and connection; and be gracious with yourself and your process.

Ministry of Defence: MOD Police Constables

“Protecting the nation takes more than you might realise. It takes more than a gun to protect the nation’s defences and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) sites. You need the right blend of personal strengths. Stamina, vigilance and resilience are essential, as you’ll need to stay focused for hours at a time. But just as important are things like people skills and customer focus. After all, you’ll need to deal with all kinds of situations responsibly and effectively. If you are over 18 and think you have what it takes, you could have a very rewarding career with us. We are also recruiting for qualified AFOs from other Forces or officers who would like to train to be armed officers. Discover more about joining our armed force, including full eligibility requirements and details of the application process, at mod.police.uk”

“Competing with larger software companies for the same pool of talented candidates, Red 5 had to think outside the box. They selected 100 ‘dream' candidates (all employed elsewhere), used social media to research them extensively and sent each a personalized iPod complete with a message recorded from CEO Mark Kerr covering the candidate's previous work and inviting them to apply. 90 out of 100 recipients responded and 3 left their jobs to join the Red 5 team. A big win.”
