Nurturing Healthy Habits with family

"Habits are the invisible wires that move us." - George Bernard Shaw

Habits are the routines and behaviors that we perform on a regular basis, often without consciously thinking about them. They can be good or bad, but they all have a powerful impact on our lives.

Good habits can help us to achieve our goals, improve our health and well-being, and live more fulfilling lives. For example, the habit of exercising regularly can help us to lose weight, reduce our risk of chronic diseases, and boost our mood. The habit of eating healthy foods can help us to maintain a healthy weight and reduce our risk of chronic diseases. And the habit of getting enough sleep can help us to improve our concentration, productivity, and overall health.

Bad habits, on the other hand, can hold us back from achieving our goals and living our best lives. For example, the habit of procrastinating can lead to missed deadlines and missed opportunities. The habit of overeating can lead to weight gain and health problems. And the habit of smoking can lead to cancer, heart disease, and other serious health problems.

For me habits play a very important role in shaping my day. Here, I am penning down the routine that I follow in form of habits regularly with my family.

1- Wake up early: I get up early in the morning followed by taking bath and performing the ritual of praying to God.

2- Having breakfast and lunch together: I am blessed that I live in a joint family where we have a custom of having breakfast, lunch and dinner together over the dining table. We discuss many issue together while eating and enjoy the food together.

3-Helping my mother in cooking: My mother cooks well. But, I feel privilege to help her in cooking. I ask her out the menu for the lunch previously and cut the vegetables. I prepare the masalas and curry also. It not only reduces the burden over her but also helps in saving time.

4-Going for an evening walk: I go for an evening walk daily with my father. We daily cover around 4-5 km. It makes us feel energetic and active. Evening Walk is the most exciting habit that I follow.

5-Meditation: I like to do meditation in my free time, as it ceases the thought process to zero. It also relaxes mind and energizes the soul. I like to follow mantra meditation.

Habits make us feel connected to ourselves in a number of ways. So, why not nurture healthy habits to stay fit and fine.
