I want to make 2010 my healthiest year yet so I’ve come up with a non-stressful way to incorporate 12 new healthy habits into my life. Each month I will focus on one Activity or Habit/Food/Goal to help make me healthier and happier.
Since I believe Health and Happiness go hand in hand, some of the habits will be for physical health and some will be for mental health. I will be posting information and monthly goals at the start of each month. Feel free to join me by writing your own monthly goals or following along with mine. I don’t expect everyone to have the same priorities as me, so do what is right for you 🙂
At the start of each month I will list some goal ideas for that topic. Here are the topics by month:
January -Meatless Month – Example Goal: Vegetarian Diet or Meatless Mondays (it’s up to you) Maybe a second read of the China Study is in order?
February -Yoga Month – Example Goal: Yoga 2 times a week
March -Oatmeal Month –
April – Get Enough Sleep –
May -Leafy Greens –
June – Phone a Friend
July – Anti-oxidant Month
August – Cut the Vice
September – Wine Month
October – Eat Seasonally
November – Try Something New (activity or healthy food)
December – Enjoy the Fruits of your Labor 🙂
The Ultimate Goal is the end the year healthier than how you started! These are all things I want to work on in the new year and taking them one at a time will help make it more manageable. I still have my New Year’s Resolutions too! But, I consider those more dramatic, and this list is just small steps toward a healthier me!
I’m still learning from you, as I’m improving myself. I definitely liked reading all that is written on your site.Keep the tips coming. I enjoyed it!
CashForJunkCarsPortland.com gave me cash fast and then towed my Ford Escort away for free.
Bonjour tout le monde que pensez-vous de mon nouveau site sur le bon coin immobilier ?
I got what you mean, thanks for swing up. Woh I am happy to maturate this website finished google. Thanks For Share 2010 – My Healthiest Year Yet! | Run Eat Repeat.
I a whole lot liked the given material. Most definitely i’ll come here often
It’s difficult to find experienced people about this issue, and you appear to be you know what you’re discussing! Thanks
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Hello les gens quel est votre avis de mon nouveau blog sur le diagnostic immobilier?
This is great!! I love it and will definitely be trying it. Good luck and happy almost new year!!
this is a great idea, i’ll be steal this idea if that’s OK? enjoy the warmth of CA
It only takes 21 days to make something a habit, I’ve read, so you’ll have tons of healthy habits by the end of the year!
Love this idea! I’ll take on some of the monthly challenges!
Great idea. I imagine the ones you like will become habits that stick with you. 🙂
Leo from Zen Habits actually recommend giving yourself 31 days to acquire a new habit. I like this idea of yours. I’ll try to come up with my own. Thanks for sharing this!

did you read china study?? did you review it? i must have missed it. this is primarily why i went vegan, but also because a great mentor of mine is vegan (after battling cancer= lifestyle change) and he inspired me to try it.
i love the month focus idea.
I don’t even remember if I reviewed it – but I read it and it totally convinced me that veganism is the healthiest diet. I’m not ready to commit to all of that yet, but I will be vegetarian in the new year!
I think this is a really good idea, and something that I would like to try for myself! Thanks for the idea!
wow i love the monthly themes! makes a vague goal like “be healthier” soooo much more tangible!
What a good idea. I think I might make my own and use some of your ideas… Hope you don’t mind 🙂
This sounds like a great idea! I tried to do something like this last year but started slacking. I think I’ll try it again, but one thing I’ll add is a “Hydrate” month.
I really like this post. It seems like there are unique tangible goals. And if one month doesn’t work, you can “switch” next month. I have the urge to copy this, or at least, make my own!
I love this! I don’t think my family, especially the husband, would ever go for meatless, but I could! Everything else sounds like it could be incorporated with my family needs! Thanks, Monica.
i like this idea a lot – I was toying with themed months when I was baking cookies tonight – I may give it a shot!
I love these ideas! Except every month for me is meatless month/oatmeal month/sleep month 🙂
this is a wonderful idea! it’s a great way to slowing down and forcing myself to focus on one goal at a time for an entire month. thanks for doing this and sharing everyone!!
I’m really looking forward to finding out more about those topics 🙂 May just have to do some of these myself!!
I really like all these ideas!! Definitely worth it to dedicate a month to a healthy goal!
i love this!! 🙂
I’m liking this idea 🙂
