HabitShare

At Sleekgeek, we believe that health is a habit because you are what you 🔁 repeatedly do.

While having a set nutrition plan or exercise program can be useful, especially for short periods of time, it’s important to also work on building healthy habits for long-term success.

Healthy habits are the individual building blocks of a healthy lifestyle.

  • They’re independent – just because you can’t do one healthy habit today (e.g. go to the gym) doesn’t mean you can’t do another healthy habit today (e.g. eat a healthy lunch). This makes it much easier to stay on track in the long run and not be “all-or-nothing” about your health and fitness.
  • They’re flexible – you can choose and tailor them to fit your own unique lifestyle. For one person, a healthy habit might be doing 7 days of meal prep on a Sunday, while for another person it might just be cooking a bit extra for dinner so that they have leftovers for the next day. Or, for one person a healthy habit might be a gruelling 90-minute gym workout while for another it could be a gentle 20-minute walk.
  • They’re scalable – you can make healthy habits easier or more difficult, requiring less or more effort, depending on how your life is going at the time. A great example is brushing your teeth: Some days you might have plenty of time and energy, so you brush your teeth thoroughly for a full 2 minutes, while on other days you do the bare minimum and give them a rushed 15-second sweep. Being able to scale your health and fitness efforts is key for long-term sustainability.
  • They’re stackable – many healthy habits complement one another. When one healthy habit falls into place, it often sets off a chain reaction, just like a line of falling dominos. Someone who is chronically tired with no energy or motivation to exercise, and is constantly craving junk food all day might just need to prioritise their sleep over watching TV or scrolling on social media in the evenings. Getting better sleep could lead to more energy the next day, a better mood, less cravings, and better fuel for their workouts. This then becomes an awesome upward spiral where sleep, mindset, movement, and nutrition are all supporting and fueling one another.
  • They foster a growth mindset – healthy habits are all about continuously looking for areas of improvement and finding ways to problem-solve any challenges that come your way. They encourage having a growth mindset rather than focusing on short-term fixes or seeing health and fitness as something you’re either doing or not doing.

The more healthy habits that you build into your everyday life, the easier this journey will be.

So go ahead and download the HabitShare app and let’s get tracking!

👉1) Download HabitShare:

It’s important that you use THIS app and not some other habit tracking app because you’ll need to add your coach as a “friend” in the app in order to share your progress with them.

👉2) Create your account:

The first thing you’ll see after downloading HabitShare is the option to sign up or log in.

Click on “Sign Up” (unless you already have an account, in which case you can click Log In).

Enter your name, email address, and a password for your account.

Please use your real name so that we can easily identify you.

Once you’ve created an account and been logged in, you’ll see this on your home page.

👉3) Add your habits:

Click on the big + icon in the middle of the screen.

Enter the name of your habit (you’ll need to repeat this process for each habit).

You can also add a description if you’d like help remembering what your goal is for that habit.

You can skip the “Shared With” option for now.

So next, click on the “Reminders” option.

Then click on “Add” in the top right.

By default, the app will send you a push notification reminder for that habit every day.

You can tap on the day of the week to disable the reminder for that day (it will go from green to grey).

You can also tap on the time to adjust when you’d like to be sent the reminder.

So save the reminder and go back to finish adding your habit, tap on the “Add Habit” button in the top left.

Once you are happy with your new habit’s settings, tap on the “Save” button in the top right.

You’ll now be taken back to your HabitShare home screen and you’ll see your new habit visible there.

Repeat this process for each habit that you want to add.

👉4) Add your coach as a friend

Now that you’ve added your habits, you’ll need to add your coach as a friend in order to give them visibility on how you’re doing.

Click on the “Friends” tab at the bottom of your screen.

Then click on the big + icon in the middle of the screen.

Enter your coach’s email address in the search bar and then click on “Search”.

Next, click on “Send Friend Request”.

You will need to wait for your coach to accept your friend request.

Once they’ve accepted your friend request, you will receive a prompt to share your habits with them.

Click on “Yes”.

Now you can choose which habits you want to share with your coach.

Click on the switch next to the habits you want to share to make the switch green.

Your coach will now be able to see when you check-in and how you’re progressing.

Repeat this process for each habit that you want to share.
