Follow a Good Diet
This refers to quality AND quantity. A balanced and nutritious diet doesn’t mean you aren’t able to indulge, as long as it’s in moderation.
Physical Activity
Whether you are hitting the gym or going for walks over your lunch break, any intentional physical activity will improve your physical health. It also positively affects your mental health.
Keep a Sleep Schedule
Getting enough sleep allows your body and mind to recharge and heal. Experts recommend getting at least 7 hours of sleep. Good quality sleep is also important in making the hours spent snoozing count.
Relax and Manage your Stress
Everyone experiences stress in some form. Knowing how to reduce and effectively manage it can be crucial to your health – physical, mental, and emotional.
Take Time for Self Care
This can be described as the relationship you have with yourself. It is important to take time for you, to do things you enjoy and take care of your needs. Some ways to carry out self-care include getting a massage or baking because you aspire to be Betty Crocker.
Practices, such as the ones mentioned above, are just a few of the multiple ways to promote a happy, healthy lifestyle. Because many of these correlate, creating good habits in one area can have a positive ripple effect in others.
Don’t forget – your health is an investment, not an expense.
