Well-being: changing habits and reaching goals

I broke a bad habit by leaving my phone outside the bedroom instead of checking it late at night.

It takes patience to break a bad habit, especially if you have been doing it for years.

It is easier to develop healthy habits when the first steps are small, such as walking a little each day.

I developed healthy habits over the summer, including going to bed earlier and spending more time outside.

My sister fitted exercise into her routine by doing a short workout before breakfast.

I fit exercise into my routine by walking home from school.

Missing one workout does not mean you cannot get back on track.

After the holidays, I got back on track by restarting my usual evening walks.

Learning to plan my evenings made a lasting change: I have kept the same bedtime for months.

Small actions repeated each day can make a lasting change to the way we live.
