Healthy Habits

Create habits instead of making resolutions.

Winter has come a bit early for Rock Leaf Water. We are busily finishing projects meant for kinder and gentler weather. However, we are a strong team and strive for excellence despite the environment. Speaking of the environment, when I look out of my office window, I notice that every year the trees have the same processes; they know what to do and when to do it. They take a break in the winter, just a little rest. It prompted me to think about biorhythms, cycles, and habits. The trees have it easy, people do not. I do not embrace New Year Resolutions, I do embrace cycles, biorhythms, and good habits to make our professional and personal lives better. Habits stick around, while resolutions do not. Some habits I subscribe to help me be the best I can be are:

  • preparing for the week ahead with clear

  • ideas of major tasks I need to finish

  • any pre-planning I can do well ahead of schedule

  • taking time to organize my office and computer each week

  • taking breaks from screens

  • clear communication within our team

  • trying to create a good balance of work to ensure details are not rushed

  • always remembering to thank people for their hard work

I am continuing to grow and look for ways to improve myself, which in turn will spill over into my professional life. I would love to continue this conversation, and please email me with any comments or tips you find helpful. Email Sarah!
