Random Jamie Habit #4: I stretch while I’m getting gas. .

One of my friends once asked me if I was, “the type of person who gets back in the car after pumping my gas (excluding Oregonians-haha) or the type of person who stays out until the pump is finished?”

I responded with “most of the time, it depends on the weather.” haha.

But it got me thinking about the little things that I do (have to do) throughout the day, where I can squeeze in a healthy habit.

This conversation was about two years ago, and I have continued this habit ever since. .

Now, instead of getting back in the car, I stretch. .

It most likely accompanies smiling awkwardly at the person next to me while I either- put my feet on the curb for a calf stretch, or throw one leg behind me for a hip flexor stretch. .

Whenever I think of “things I need to do more of-” Stretching is always one of them. .

Another thing I do (that gets me movin’) is- I play- “where’s MOMMY?” when meatball is with me- .

I squat down low and POP UP (on one of the side windows or windshield yelling “I SEE YOU!”) She gets a kick out of it- the people next to me consider calling the police on the looney yelling to herself- and we all just have a good time.

I find that I stick to something more so when I “attach” it to something that I’m ALREADY doing in my routine- I also stretch when I brush my teeth. .

What about you all- any random habits you attach to something else?
