I’m in goal setting mode folks.\u00a0 But the pressure is on this year, because it’s not just a new year, it’s a new decade.\u00a0 <\/span>With 2020 beginning, I am uber excited about challenging myself, setting new goals, and creating good habits. I know it sounds a little woo-woo but I can feel it in my bones – it’s going to be an incredible year. <\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
As I started thinking about the year, I realized that my focus is usually <\/strong>personal.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Things *I* need to get better at.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
..<\/span><\/div>\n
Things *I* need to do more or less of.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
..<\/span><\/div>\n
But hold on a sec…\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
I’m not a one-woman show here.\u00a0 I have 4 other human beings around me everyday.\u00a0 Thus, it’s not a great year unless we are ALL thriving. I’m so passionate about raising healthy kids, but also kind, generous, strong, happy kids.\u00a0 And it’s a lot easier to do that with<\/em> them.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
So I’m changing my goal setting strategy this year and creating healthy habits for my family. In the end, I landed on 12 things that will help the Binns’ family rock 2020 (and help your family rock too!).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Instead of trying to do all 12 at once (cuz that’s just crazy!), we will take on one family goal each week.\u00a0 It gives us time to practice and make it part of our routine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
But wait. <\/strong><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Before I make a liar out of myself and share our 12 family goals, you should know that I also<\/em> have personal goals.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Things I will do for me.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Some parents might feel selfish.\u00a0 Some might not have time.\u00a0 But taking care of myself means my family benefits.\u00a0 So one of our family goals is that mommy (and daddy) have the resources to feel awesome.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I mean, it’s obvious.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
When I do the simple things I need to feel energetic, fit, strong, healthy, productive, I am a fricken fabulous mom, wife, sister, friend, neighbour, stranger.\u00a0 I’m not perfect, but I’m happier, relaxed, and way more fun. Plus I have the energy to keep going after putting these three little ones to bed.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\"Healthy<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I MAKE time for me.\u00a0 My family knows that it is a non-negotiable.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Heck, have you ever noticed how much more patient you are with your kids after a run or a workout?<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Or how much kinder you are to your partner when you have a good day of eating?<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Or how more control you feel when you don’t succumb to coffee\/sugar\/carb\/chocolate cravings at 3pm (or 8pm)?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Like it or not, when we feel like crap, we treat ourselves and everyone else around us a little worse (or maybe it’s just me!).\u00a0 So the number one thing on our family list is all about me (and Keith).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
That’s why this is my #1 goal for the year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

12 Healthy Habits for Families in 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1. Prioritize your well-being<\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
If you have been waiting for the right time to get healthier and more energized, you’ve probably realized there is no right or better time! #lifewithkids.\u00a0 Our children are constantly throwing us curveballs, and your to-do list keeps going and going.\u00a0 So let’s pick one healthy habit to start right now.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
If you’re not sure where to start, yet want simple and quick research-backed strategies to reboot your health, the Energy Reboot is starting up again on January 13th, 2020<\/em><\/a>. It’s a 28 day program I built for parents like me – who spend so much time focusing on their kids’ health that they neglect their own.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. <\/span>D<\/span>o an ‘act of kindness’<\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
With all the anger in the world, I am passionate about showing my kids how easy it is to be kind.\u00a0 <\/span>Being\u00a0kind\u00a0<\/span>is contagious!\u00a0 <\/span>And doing so also releases <\/span>a hormone called oxytocin<\/em> that is calming and <\/span>helps relieve stress and anxiety.\u00a0 So it’s a healthy habit for families that will pay dividends and make the world a better place, starting with our children.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
