Though we're well into the month of March, Happy Women’s History Month to all the ladies out there! As you probably know, Women’s History Month is about celebrating women of the past and present for their courageous efforts, selfless deeds, and for being positive role-models for generations of women.
I think now is a great time to focus on what we can do to be healthy role models for ourselves and other women, like our daughters and future daughters. It’s also about time we give ourselves a little more credit where it’s due, and cut ourselves some slack for not being Superwoman 24/7--there’s a reason why she’s a character!
If we all were to pick one healthy thing that we’d like to make a habit each month, that adds up to 12 new healthy habits a year. Twelve may not sound like much to you, but it could ultimately add years to your life—healthy and happy years.
Also, if we each kept a little notebook or Word document where we wrote down one thing that we were proud of ourselves for each day, no matter how big or small, perhaps women as a whole would finally see how fabulous they truly are. You don’t have to be a Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, or Mother Teresa to be a positive influence—if you strive to be the best version of yourself as you can be, and accept even the parts of yourself that you consider "flaws," you, too, are a hero.
So, my fab Healthkickers...
My healthy habit for this month: Drink at least 6 cups of water a day.
Today I’m proud of myself for: Using the rainy weather to my advantage and getting a little spring cleaning done around the apartment.
What is your goal of the month? And what are you proud of yourself for today? (Feel free to gloat a little!
