Habits of Hope

02/19/2026

Health isn’t a sprint or a perfect plan. It’s a series of small, intentional choices you can live with.
Move, breathe, hydrate, rest — a little every day adds up.
Which choice will you make for yourself today?

If you’re eating healthy and still don’t feel well,
you’re not doing it wrong.

The gut is your second brain.
And you can’t digest in a fire alarm.

When the body feels rushed or stressed,
it shifts into protection — not digestion.

Before you eat, pause.
Take one slow breath.
Help your body feel safe first.

💛 Save this as a reminder that nourishment begins with safety.

Commitment over perfection.
Take action today, even if it’s not perfect.

Hope doesn’t always arrive loudly.
Sometimes it’s just a small step forward, a familiar path,
and the trust that light will meet you there.

This is how I practice hope—
one gentle step at a time. 🤍

Today is reflection (day 4)
Not fixing. Not improving.
Just softening, noticing, and allowing.
Healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself.

Slow down.
Notice your body, your feelings.
Let it pass through you.
This is gentle healing… just like a habit of Hope.

Your body needs moments of completion to feel safe.
These small moments tell your body: “It’s safe now.”

Every pause is a small gift to your nervous system.

Completion helps the body relax.

Finish the moment.
Then take one slow breath.

This tells your body
it’s safe to release.

Save this for later ⭐️

Healing doesn’t start when we do more.
It starts when our body feels safe.

A simple habit to try today:
→ Take 30 seconds of pause between activities.

That pause tells your body:
I’m safe.

Try it today and notice how your body responds 🤍

What breakfast is right for you? 🍳
When you eat a good breakfast, your day goes smoothly. No growling stomachs, low blood sugar shakiness, or wandering attention to keep you from nailing those big goals you’ve made for yourself.
One of the best—and most fun—ways to find out which foods serve YOU most powerfully is something called the Breakfast Experiment. For one week, eat a different breakfast each day. Record in a notebook what you ate, how you felt immediately after the meal, and how you felt again two hours later.

Day one: Scrambled eggs or tofu
Day two: Toast with peanut butter and banana
Day three: Oatmeal
Day four: Boxed breakfast cereal
Day five: Muffin and coffee
Day six: Fresh fruit
Day seven: Green smoothie

Feel free to repeat the experiment for another seven days with different foods each morning. Which breakfasts made you feel energized? Which ones didn’t? After the experiment, try adding in more of the foods that made you feel great!

4 Tips to Kick Portion Distortion
• Choose high-fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains to keep you feeling full and energized.
• Chew well to aid digestion and give your brain time to register you’re full before you overeat.
• Get enough water. Often we mistake thirst for hunger.
• Carry your own snacks. Stock up on snack-sized containers and fill them with baby carrots, air-popped popcorn, or nuts.

Consistently finding the glass half-empty—and the world as a difficult place— is a hallmark of negativity. Maintaining a positive outlook takes practice, and the more you do it, the easier it gets. The payoff—a happier, healthier life—is absolutely worth the effort.
To help wipe out negativity, try one or more of the following action steps:
•Go complaint-free. Try going an hour without complaining and see the positive things in your life.
•Keep a gratitude journal. Each evening, list 10 or more things that you are grateful for.
•Give compliments freely. Notice the good in others. Praise every person you interact with. Find beauty everywhere in your world.
•Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.
