Good Habits to Have (1)

Sixteen habits to live by

Philosopher Aristotle once said, "Good habits formed at youth make all the difference." It's true that the habits we form early usually stay with us. But it is never too late to learn new ones.

Habits worth developing

1. Establish a daily schedule 
It's easier to face the day if you know what to expect. Plus, new habits are easier to follow if they are part of your normal day.

2. Eat breakfast 
Breakfast provides the fuel your body needs to get started each day.

3. Drink lots of water 
Water is good for your skin and helps you lose weight.

4. Exercise 
It provides energy, reduces stress and keeps you healthy. But the key to making this a lasting habit is finding an exercise you enjoy.

5. Practice cleanliness 
Make sure your hands, teeth, hair, body and clothes are clean. This habit will help you feel better and prevent disease.

6. Take time for your appearance 
People judge you based on the way you look. Before you leave the house, take a few minutes to be sure you look your best.
