I thought of a twentieth behavior change! I weigh myself first thing every morning. Of course. How could I forget that one?
This evening, I fixed a delicious Italian White Bean & Kale soup from a recipe in the Tufts University Health & Nutrition Newsletter. I highly recommend this publication. It's very inexpensive and highly informative. Anyway, each issue includes one healthy recipe. I've never tried eating or cooking with kale, so I gave it a try. Very yummy. I'm not a big fan of leafy greens (although I SHOULD be), and this was a painless way to sneak it into my diet.
And back to the topic of forming habits, one way of encouraging a change in behavior is to make the desired behavior more fun. Here is a wonderful example, the Piano Stairs in Stockholm, Sweden.

Hei Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe Piano Stairs bit is an excellent reference on changing behaviors and make something fun.
On the food/cooking side, finding healthy and tasty meals to prepare is a challenge but also fun and satisfying. Now, if I could come up with something to make my work more "fun" ?!?
instead of "... oh boy, what fun this is !!"
