Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what gets you going.
Jim Rohn
If there is anything in 2020-2021 besides the global COVID-19 pandemic, it will be what this period symbolizes - a time when people understood what really matters in life. Many realized that taking care of one's overall health is tantamount to real wealth.

People will usher in 2022 with bigger hopes and brighter perspectives. If you have resolved to become a better version of yourself, the key is to engage in self-care and personal development activities as part of your daily lifestyle. John Maxwell could not have said it any better: "You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine."

Why is it important to track habits?

You will find in this article a list of almost 100 Life-Changing Habits to Track in 2022. Do not be overwhelmed as to how to incorporate everything all at once into your routine. It may seem daunting to imagine how to turn your life around and actualize the changes you have set out to achieve. When you realize you want to change something in your life, you have actually taken the first and most important step. The next thing you have to do is break your life down into several areas to make it easier for you to focus your time and effort on specific capacities. It also makes it easier to track your habits. Start with a specific area and remember to make changes slowly and steadily.

Tracking your habits makes you more motivated because when you monitor your achievements, no matter how gradual, you actually have visual cues of the changes you are endeavoring to make each day. Developing a new habit requires steady and consistent action until you realize it has become too ingrained to be broken. Incorporating habits into your life results in positive changes.
