This was an idea I came up with from seeing all the different ways a deck of cards can be used on Pinterest. The idea is to write 52 healthy habits that will help you be more proactive, productive and positive on a 52 card deck and to pick one at random each week for a year. When you have picked your card, display it somewhere where you will see it every day and try to do the thing on the card every day for a week. Add a card each week. This is in the hope that these will slowly become healthy habits over the next year because when you try to do things all at once, sometimes it can be quite overwhelming and end up not working out. Slow and steady wins the race, if it's a lifestyle change you're looking for then this is a great way to start!
