Habits can be good or bad and with COVID and the negativity it emits, it is easy to form bad habits surrounding anything from over consumption to laziness (which are all things needed every now and then but not everyday). If you are looking for something new to try here are the beginnings of my list of good habits to get into.

Practicing Gratitude: When you are constantly only looking at the negative you begin to attract negative things (hey, I don’t make this stuff up). It’s all about the Law of Attraction, so when you are thinking about positive things then you begin to attract positivity into your life, a great first step is to be more grateful. 

Think about the things you love in your life, your mom who cooks for you, your dad who makes you laugh, the feeling you get when you are watching a new movie and you just know this will become a favourite, the list can go on. Turn these things into

appreciation and you will notice how mundane things become a lot more beautiful.

A good first step in doing this is to create a gratitude journal. It does not have to be much, just a notebook where you can write down a few things you’re grateful for each day. It’s a great habit to get into to form positive outlooks on life. 

Asking For What You Want: This one hits close to home, and I’m sure a lot of people out there would agree that it can be difficult to ask for what you want. Whether that be from your partner, work or even from yourself. It can be huge though for getting fast results and making your overall self happier (obviously).

 If this one seems kind of scary to you (I feel you),then try out smaller things first like, asking for help when you need it. It’s all about building self-esteem and prioritizing yourself.
