Habits are easy to get and hard to get rid of it. They run our lives in many ways we don't even realize. We have to decide then which habits actually provide us with the lifestyle we want and which ones need to be replaced.
Usually it takes 30 days to break a habit. And it seems longer to establish a new one. That's why we always say you can find out a lot in 90 days. Ninety days is long enough to sweep out the old habits and short enough to model the new ones and see if they fit.
Healthy habits are a challenge. Only you can decide which ones work for you and your family and how to work them into your daily schedule. Remember though your physical health should be at the top of this list, so do whatever it takes to make them a priority.
So here is the next step to assist you in setting up a little more balance for your physical health. Fitness apps can be used as a tool to help balance your life. This will then help make it easier for you to stay on task for the next 90 days. Remember there are a lot of health apps and they all have their special features. But for the next 90 days we will be using prevention.com.
Log on to prevention.com and take a look. Then begin to enter your health information. You will be amazed at what is available to keep you on task. Come on and take the 90-day challenge, and see how far you can go.

All about pelvic health
Kegel mania started years ago. In fact most of the women I know have heard about Kegel exercises, even if they don't really understand them or know how to do them very well. Often women will say, "I think I'm doing it right, but I'm really not sure."
T'was the night before
When I was little I loved the magic of the poem “The Night Before Christmas.” My parents had a well-worn book that had beautiful illustrated pictures and they would read it to me each Christmas season. As soon as I could read it myself I would slowly read each page and get lost in my imagination. I would pretend that St. Nicholas was coming to my house in Maryland, landing on our roof with his reindeers and sneaking in my living room to deliver the “goods.” I would wait up as long as I could to try to get a peek of him. I wanted to know him. I wanted to watch him make his delivery. I wanted to see if he was really “jolly.” I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe in something bigger and better than anything I'd ever known.
Caregivers make the world a better place
Last week one of my incredible, long-term employees came to me and said, "I know what you need to write about next week. You need to write about all of our amazing patients that are caregivers. They need to know they are not alone and that we can help them, make this time of their lives better." I smiled and we proceeded to talk about the art of caregiving and the caregivers themselves.
