Healthy habits are an important part of our overall health and well-being. And they are exactly what we call them habits. It’s important to make them as much a part of our daily routines as showering and brushing our teeth. Maybe you’re looking to start making changes and adding healthy habits to your life, but you’re not sure how. Maybe you’re not sure how to get motivated. I get it. Finding motivation to be healthy is hard, especially when everything that’s bad for you is just so darn enjoyable. But if you’re ready for a change this year, these tips for making healthy habits a part of your life are key.
Healthy Habits are Easier to Start than You Think
The hardest part of getting healthy is overcoming that first block that we all seem to have, which is actually starting. Something I learned almost immediately when I started adding healthy habits to my life is that breaking through the anticipation of getting healthy is actually so much harder to break through than it is to actually get healthy. Our minds block us every time! These tips can help you overcome yourself as your own worst enemy.
Morning Routine
I will be the first to admit that I am not a morning person. However, going to bed early has been a resolution of mine. Along with that resolution, waking up early is important. I make my Bulletproof coffee and get my day started. This has helped me so much in trying to form those healthy habits.
Motivational Posters
One thing that has helped me progress in my healthy habits has been to make motivational posters. You can use posters or sticky notes to make these posters. You can even look on Pinterest to find motivational quotes for your healthy habit success.
Find an Accountability Partner
When it comes to being motivated for healthy habits, it helps to have an accountability partner. I like to ask friends what their healthy habit resolutions are and then if we can keep each other accountable. It’s awesome when you find a person who has the same healthy habit resolutions as you!
Get the Family Involved
I have noticed that when you need to stay healthy or create new healthy habits, it helps if your whole family is on board. By having the whole family on board, you will see more success. No one is perfect when it comes to having healthy habit motivation, but getting the family on board is important. I always feel more successful this way.
Don’t Give Up!
Even when I fail in the healthy habit department, I just keep going. I start again with my next meal and don’t fret about it. Don’t give up easily, even when you fail at living a healthy lifestyle. It’s not about the destination, but about the journey to get there.
Committing to Healthy Habits with Healthy Foods
In addition to their coffee, Bulletproof also has an awesome line of foods that are packed with nutrients; quality, healthy fats; and most important for sticking to healthy habits, flavor! Take a look at all of these great products that will help you stay on track with your healthy habits. I got all of these in my e-kit, and they’re great.
The coffee is so good, and the food is absolutely amazing. I’m really enjoying the cookbook and travel mug as well. If you know me at all, you know I love my coffee, so another mug is always welcome! And since we’re talking about bulletproof, why don’t we just go ahead and put them in bullet form?

Healthy Habits are TOTALLY Achievable
When I look at myself in the mirror, I know that healthy habits aren’t formed in one day. It takes time and energy to reach your health goals. Take it one day at a time, one meal at a time, and one cup of Bulletproof coffee at a time. I keep mentioning Bulletproof coffee because that stuff really works! The caffeine combined with healthy fats kicks my brain into high gear immediately in a way that’s not jitter-inducing. When you add in their line of healthy snacks to keep us fueled and satisfied all day, Bulletproof is one of the best ways to help us stick to our healthy habits.
