Mari Hahn has been
working in the health and wellness field for over 20 years as a massage
therapist and workshop instructor.
She wrote Gut Guide 101 to provide a moderate approach to healing
the gut by adding in gut-friendly
foods and supplements. She holds a
B.S. in Psychology from Valparaiso University and is both
a Board Certified Massage Therapist and a Certified Health Coach. Her
background in natural health and holistic nutrition has helped her look at the
body as an amazing, miraculous organism, capable of bringing itself into
balance. She believes that a poorly functioning digestive system is the root
cause of many health issues.
A “health foodie”,
a home cook and a lover of recipes, weekends will often find her in the kitchen
for several hours with a pot of soup simmering on the stove, prepping veggies
for the week and watching a fruit crisp in the oven.

We were thinking about you
And of the habits that make you.
Do you eat the same thing for lunch, go through the same exercise routine, and fall into bed at the same time each night?
Or maybe you've made a habit out of eating whatever looks good, avoiding the gym, and staying up as late as possible.
John Dryden famously said, "We first make our habits, and then our habits make us."
Confucius said, "Men's natures are alike; it is their habits that separate them."
And Aristotle noticed that, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit."
It's pretty clear that the habits you adopt will shape who you are.
When it comes to your body, the two habits that define your physique are your eating and exercise habits. In fact, everyone that you know who is in great shape has dialed in these two important habits.
If you aren't happy with your body, then simply adjust your eating and exercise habits. Here's how to adopt a habit:
Making a Habit
Use these seven steps to create a life-improving habit.
1) Decide on the ONE habit that you would like to develop. It's tempting to pick up 3 or 4 healthy habits, but choosing just one new habit is realistic and doable.
Here are some healthy habit ideas:
2) Write your new habit down on paper. Also include your 3 main motivators for developing this new habit, the obstacles you'll face, and your strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
Here's an example:
3) Commit fully to your new habit, in a public way. This could mean posting it on facebook, or simply announcing it at the dinner table. Put yourself in a position where you'll be embarrassed to give up on your new habit.
4) Keep track of your progress. You could keep a detailed journal or simply make a check mark on each calendar day that you successfully exercise your new habit.
5) Keep yourself publically accountable. This means either status updates on facebook or verbal status updates at the dinner table. Your friends and family are in a position to offer you support, so don't shy away from those close to you.
6) When you fail, figure out what went wrong so that you can plan around it in the future.
7) Reward yourself for your success.
Once your new habit becomes second nature, usually in about 30 days, feel free to add a second habit by going through the same 7 steps.
I'd love for our fitness program to become your new healthy habit! Call 219-548-3480 or email now to start the habit of fitness today.
Laser Focus
Focusing on one goal at a time is the most powerful way to achieve it. Taking on more than one goal at a time spreads your time and energy out, making it impossible to accomplish anything. If you have more than one goal on your mind, write them all down and then go after them one and a time until they are all completed.
