There’s no quick fix in wellness, It’s not something that just happens in a day, month, or even a year. Instead, focus on living around wellness; incorporating daily health habits and sticking to them. Wellness should be personal to you, so try as many new approaches as you like. As you continue to try new things, you’ll find out what sparks your interest in continuing your “new” routine.
Not sure where to begin? Start with these tips that can be easily acclimated into your lifestyle.
Tip 1: Morning Meditation
Start your morning with some “me” time. Meditating for a few minutes is a simple and fast way to enter the day with a clearer mind. Meditation won’t have the same result for everybody, so find what’s right for you. This may include anything from listening to your favorite music or focusing on your breath cycles.
Tip 2: Take a Detox from Electronics
Our lives are surrounded by endless chatter, drama or some bad news. Every so often, spend a weekend without checking your social media. Or MAYBE even leave your phone at home and go for a neighborhood stroll. Although it might seem difficult, take this first step to make time for your inner self and notice the beauty of the world around you. We promise you won’t regret it.
Tip 3: Self-discovery by writing
Journaling (or writing down your thoughts) is a powerful way to get to know yourself. If you take the time to journal every day, you could discover thoughts and beliefs that you didn’t know existed.
Here are some topics to get started on self-discovery writing:
- What are your goals?
- What are your concerns/problems that you want to fix or solve?
- Where do you want to go, to travel, to see and explore?
.
Tip 4: Eat “Colorful” Foods
Live your life colorfully. Start by building each meal around colorful foods, like a variety of in-season fruits and vegetables. Not only may it improve your health and nutritional value, but it could help you get excited to eat things that are good for your body and overall health! Next time you’re at the grocery store, bring home your favorite color for dinner.
Tip 5: Enjoy the Outdoors
Not only has getting outside been proven to improve mood and relieve stress, but it also has the potential to increase social interaction, especially in the summer when lots of people are heading outside for a walk, a workout, or just working in the garden. Just the thought of knowing there is green space nearby has been proven to improve life satisfaction.
Taking time for yourself can have an incredible impact on your effectiveness in life. It recharges your batteries, offers you a new perspective on life, and leaves you ready to tackle tasks at work, or to reconnect with your spouse or loved ones.
Tip 6: Always Carry a Water Bottle
There are so many health reasons to stay hydrated, not only for your body but also your mind. However, as life gets in the way, sometimes it can be hard to remember to drink more water throughout the day. For all day hydration, consider keeping a large bottle of Alkazone Antioxidant Water always within reach as this also makes keeping track of your water intake simple.
Conclusion
These are only a few health tips on a list that could easily be in the hundreds. Take the tips you like, leave what you don’t. Keep searching and trying new things, and take notes on what works for you. Always remember that health and wellness isn’t a destination, it’s a journey.
