Fragrance Layering: How to Create Your Signature Scent

Habits matter. If you've ever tried breaking a bad habit, you know all too well how engrained they are.

Here's a look at some daily, monthly, and yearly habits to help kickstart your quest. Just remember that everyone's version of happiness is a little different, and so is their path to achieving it.

If some of these habits create added stress or just don't fit your lifestyle, ditch them. With a little time and practice, you'll figure out what does and doesn't work for you.

Daily habits

Most adults need at least 7 hours of sleep every night. If you find yourself fighting the urge to nap during the day or just generally feel like you're in a fog, your body may be telling you it needs more rest.

Here are a few tips to help you build a better sleep routine:

• Write down how many hours of sleep you get each night and how rested you feel.
• Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends.
• Reserve the hour before bed as quiet time. Take a bath, read, or do something relaxing.
• Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bed.
• Keep your bedroom dark, cool, and quiet.
