I found this article recently in an email from YouVersion, a commonly used Bible app. As easy as it is to ignore our current health habits, I wanted to share the great insight that the article had to offer about creating new habits. You will see that four of the five ideas also provides a link to a Bible study on the YouVersion app. If you would like to have someone to complete this plan with, let me know, I would love to join you.

 5 Ways to Develop Healthy Habits:

1 – Remember whose you are. You are called by God and made in His image. Because of His great love for you, you have the ability to become more like the person God created you to be.

2 – Identify the “why” behind your behavior. Do you eat junk food because you like the taste? Or because you’re tired or bored? Once you know why you behave the way you do, it’s easier to replace unhealthy habits with better ones.

3 – Draw close to God. When you prioritize time with God, you’re allowing Him to renew your mind (Rom. 12:2). Eventually, this will help you change the way you live.

5 – Give yourself grace. You won’t always get it right… And that’s okay. When you stumble, “fall forward”: learn from your mistakes and keep going. God will still be right beside you, cheering you on.

It only takes a moment to start a healthy habit. Pick a Plan, and let God use that choice to begin transforming your daily routines.
