An Om Habit
It’s Saturday, and what better way to kick off the weekend than with the thought of creating an om habit for yourself?
Some of you may be scared away by those two words, thinking that by “om” I mean yoga only – in weird, strange and perhaps even uncomfortable positions. Stick with me because I don’t.
An Om Habit
The om is a calm and peaceful state-of-mind. It’s finding your zen and the point to where relaxation becomes reality. Not only does relaxation becoming reality sound pretty, but this point can stave off sickness and help with weight loss.
Some ways to transform “om” into habit include:
- Yoga
- Tai Chai
- Meditation
- Deep Breathing
Even things as simple as:
- massage
- relaxing
- smiling and laughing
- taking a long, hot bath
- snuggling up with a blanket and book and/or sleep
Getting into your own om habit, whatever that looks like to you will leave you feeling more peaceful, calm and happy all around.
Question: Do you practice an “om” habit?

Exercise Without Excuse
The day you indulge in an exercise without excuse habit is the day your life just might be changed forever!
We are all given 24 hours in the day. It’s up to us as to how we choose to spend those hours.
And yes, it is a choice. Everything we do in life is a choice.

Exercise Without Excuse
Click HERE to save this post for later.
Instead of saying:
- “I’m too busy to exercise.” (excuse)
- “I’m too tired to exercise.” (excuse)
- “I’d rather go out for happy hour than exercise.” (excuse)
- “I’m too fat to exercise.” (excuse)
Think about:
- What are you too busy doing? How can you take those too-busy tasks and compress or nix them all together to find 30 minutes – 1 hour of free time? Heck, you don’t even need 30 minutes. 20 minutes is perfect!
- Stop focusing on “too tired.” Start focusing on: Exercise gives you energy! Or maybe the time of day is not right for you. If you prolong your exercise until later in the day, maybe you need to conquer first thing in the morning. (But also note that, in some situations, you might be too tired to workout. That’s okay. Then just rest, friend.)
- First, I’m sure you don’t need happy hour 7 days a week. Second, exercise in the morning – happy hour at 5 pm. It’s called balance.
- No one is too fat to exercise. Also, think you need to go to a gym? No. You can exercise in the comfort of your own home.
Why will exercise without an excuse be a life changing habit? Simple. Exercise period is a life-changing habit.
When you commit to this habit, you commit to YOU! And that’s one of the greatest commitments we can learn to make.
Question: Do you like working out? What are your favorite forms of moving?

28 Day Series with 28 Good Habits to Begin
The 28 day series with 28 good habits to begin starts right now.
It’s 2011 – cheers!
Remember in December when I mentioned via “Habit,”
The problem is not our intention. The intention is always great. The problem is the follow through, the commitment and the true “will” to stick with something for the long haul.
And then I mentioned, “ps. Are you interested in Habits? Good habits? Beginning January 3rd I am doing a 28 Days Series on 28 Good Habits to Begin! Stay tuned!”
28 Day Series with 28 Good Habits to Begin
Well here we are: January 3, 2011.
Today is the first day of my 28 day series with 28 good habits to begin.
So what is this series? If you’re like me, then perhaps this was the year you decided not to make resolutions. And that’s perfectly okay. But perhaps there are things you’d like to accomplish or implement into your life – big or small.
Over the next 28 days, I am going to give you 28 ideas for “good habits” you can adopt and implement into your own life. Why 28? Because it takes 28 days to create a habit. Since one of my “good habits” I’m creating through this blog is to show you via practices, experiences and examples of how I’ll move even closer to a total simple, happy, zen life, I figured I’d dive right in with the first 28 days to set up for the rest of the year!
I could not be more excited for all that is in store for 2011!
