Track your healthy habits
Habit tracking can be a helpful tool to measure your progress when starting new habits. They can help you visualize when what you are doing is working or give you some insight when you might want to make modifications to your current routine.
A habit tracker might be something as simple as checking off boxes on your calendar on a Google Sheet (make a copy and fill the sheet in with your own habit goals), or it can even be an app that you download on your phone.
If you would like to try tacking for yourself, consider trying out the options below.
Google Sheets
If you have an account with Google, you can make a copy of this Sheet and save it in your Google Drive. From there, you can add as many habits that you want and track them by checking off the boxes on the days you complete them. You can add more check boxes by going to Insert > Checkbox.
