Tell me about a healthy habit you've picked up recently. How did it start?

B Natural answer

I picked up the habit of taking a walk during the day. It started when I was working from home and I felt sluggish after lunch. A coworker told me to go for a short walk instead of sitting at my computer right away. I began doing it after lunch, even if it was only ten minutes around the block. Now I come back feeling calmer and more focused. I did not expect such a small change to help, but it really does clear my head and gives me a better afternoon.
