I visit Yogajournal quite a bit, for a very obvious reason, of course, but there was this article in the site that I would like to share with you guys. It's called 'Track Your Habits'; quite an interesting read, I would have to say.
Our habits determine pretty much the outcome that we get in the end. I know that but sometimes, it is really hard to stick to something despite knowing that it is good for you. Ever tried to take one tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar every single day? Yup. If you've tried this then you will know the cough, phlegm and vomit inducing aftertaste is not something people usually look forward to. But we know it is good for us, don't we?
So, I recently downloaded an app from Google Playstore called 'Routinely' and I have been using it to keep track of my routines. The most important and useful feature of this app is that it has a reminder which will prompt you to do something so, schedule stuff in and don't dismiss them until you actually got them done. I use the app for stuff like 'take your vitamins', 'walk around and stretch', 'get on the bike', 'yoga', and yes, 'take a break'. Don't laugh, I actually need a reminder for that. LOL
The other thing is that when you leave a habit undone for some time, it will turn, first, yellow, and then it turns red. I don't like to see things turn red which often means URGENT AND IT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION, AND YOU ARE NOT DOING WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO.
So, if you want to kickstart some good habits, try Routinely. Simple to use, the interface is absolutely clean and the 'check' box is large. It makes you feel good when you are done and everything is in green color again.
XOXO,
Marsha
