This summer I went blueberry picking for the first time, then it turned into a second & third before the season ended. The outcome was harvesting my own food that created a batch of my first ever preserves. The point of this story about trying new habits is they all have a beginning and hopefully it is a good habit that is starting, because at first it isn’t a habit at all, its just an experience.
Blueberries have a plethora of health properties we label as anti-oxidants and have dabbled with them in smoothies during the summer months, but even as a WELLNESS GURU I do not have them as part of my regular diet. Well that is all now changed because now I have a cool new pottery bowl given to me by my mom that is perfect for washing fruit, eye pleasing, and also the container the blueberries hang out in to make them accessible to munch on over the course of a few days before they are gobbled up to aid in my health and wellness.
So a great new habit was formed from a few small practices. When you have a positive new habit in your life it is truly wonderful. Adding blueberries to my diet regularly, started with being outside and connecting with Earth, then followed up by how amazingly delicious they are, which led to a functional gift, which now gets filled often with a super healthy snack that has a tremendous positive impact on my life.
Its the small things that start habits in our day to day and week to week lives, what will be your next new one?......
