How often do you set an alarm?
Today’s try this at home tip is to set an alarm. However, I encourage you to think about the nontraditional ways setting an alarm can be a benefit.
Many only rely upon alarms for getting up in the morning. However, if you are hoping to establish new habits and rituals, an alarm can be the reminder of what you need to be prepared to do or currently doing.
- If you are trying to improve your diet, a phone reminder or alarm can assist in remembering the mid morning or afternoon snack. Many benefit from a reminder of eatting lunch so that they don’t work through the lunch hour.
- Are you hoping to establish a self care routine? As self care is a struggle, it can be a benefit to have a reminder to step away from the computer/project. Use this time to take a walk, stretch or practice deep breathing.
- For someone who struggles with going to bed at an appropriate time, setting an alarm to get ready for bed can be the catalyst to finish up activities for the night.
Several years ago, after realizing I needed to improve my diet, I began to utilize an alarm as a reminder to have snacks throughout the day. Although I often didn’t feel hungry, the establishment of this new routine helped me to develop a healthier lifestyle where I was fueling my body. I owe the establishment of a new habit to setting an alarm.
Are there ways your life could benefit from setting an alarm ?
