From an emotional, physical and nutritional perspective, we are the sum of our habits. By simply identifying our habits, which can be tough, and changing them — which can be even harder — we can convert our lives.

The first step in changing our habits is actually recognizing them. I recommend starting a Sum of Me journal. For the next 30 days, journal all aspects of your day. Carry your journal with you and assemble meticulous notes.

Sum of Me Journal

  1. Upon waking, construct note of your thoughts and your emotional state.
  2. Write down what you eat for breakfast.
  3. Where did you eat
    breakfast?
  4. What did you do while eating breakfast?
  5. How did you feel after eating breakfast?
  6. Write down when you exercise and the type of exercise you engage in.
  7. How did you feel before, during and after working out?
  8. Go through that same process each moment you eat or drink anything?
  9. At the top of your journal create marks indicating the total ounces of water you should drink for your weight. Slash through the marks as you achieve your daily water goal.
  10. Go through the journaling process each instance you eat or engage in an activity.

After 30 days, review your journal. Your habits will become very blatant to you as you read about them in your own words.
