Healthy habits are essential to a healthy life. From getting our daily greens, drinking enough water, exercising every week, practising self-care, to making time for friends and family—there are a hundred things that you can do to make your life just a little bit healthier. 

As most of us have learnt by now, however, having the mere desire or intent to form healthier habits isn’t enough. New year’s resolutions are almost always forgotten after a few months, while dreams of becoming a morning person dissipate by midnight when you accidentally stay up too late binging on the newest Netflix show. 

The easiest way to create better habits? Automation, wrote author James Clear in Atomic Habits, his best-selling book on building good habits. “The best way to break a bad habit is to make it impossible to do. And the best way to create a good habit is to automate it so you never have to think about it again,” said Clear. Whether it’s by implementing more physical cues, or purchasing subscriptions or products that will better help build long-term habits, having these items at the ready will greatly aid your chances of adopting a healthier lifestyle. 

“On the tough days, it’s crucial to have as many things working in your favour as possible so that you can overcome the challenges life naturally throws your way. The less friction you face, the easier it is for your stronger self to emerge,” explained Clear in his book. 

Looking for a change? Here are the best wellness subscriptions and products you can add to your life to help automate your health routine.
