Why Healthy Habits Matter

Highlight benefits of healthy habits. Encourage students to imagine feeling more energetic and confident.

Examples of Healthy Habits

Share relatable examples. Ask students to think of one healthy habit they already do.

Steps to Building a Habit

Introduce a simple framework. Emphasize small, specific actions.

Habit Mapping Activity
