Top 10 Best Healthy Lifestyle Habits To Do NOW
today i will talk about ten healthy lifestyle habits and these are the habits that I actually use every single day of my life even when I'm in a splurging kind of moment in terms of my health and fitness and which I just don't do any of that but it still keeps me on track to where I don't go completely out of control so here are my 10 habits alright the first habit is.
1-Set goals & have schedule
to set goals and plan ahead workout class meal prep me time work family time whatever it is that you need to do that day having a schedule and actually planning it out will definitely make your life easier and make follow-through more likely I think for me it's more of a mental thing like Asia you committed to do this so get your butt off the bed and get to it if you dedicate yourself to a few days at the gym plan for healthy meals for the week ahead or block off Sunday for a game of Thrones and face masking you'll be more inclined to stick with it.
2-Utilize Leftover meals
the next tip is to utilize leftovers now for me I actually don't really meal prep I like food too much to make food on a Sunday and eat it all the way to a Friday to me like the quality of like taste and texture just kind of declines every day that that just sits in the frigerator but I also totally understand the importance of prepping your food so what I like to do instead of cooking entire meals is I legitimately just food prep chopping on vegetables or marinating things that taste better marinated overnight or over a couple days like rice or quinoa is easy to make in bulk and also smoothies I'll make maybe two cups of smoothies so I can have one cup today and one cup tomorrow there's a lot of ways that you can work around the whole food and eating situation because of course you know when you get hungry and you don't have anything the fridge or you just don't have the desire to make anything that's when bad choices can be made as long as you prep to whatever your level of comfort is you should be good to go.
3-Don't compare yourself to others
the next habit that we should get into if we want to live a healthier lifestyle is probably the most difficult and it is to not compare yourselves to others jealousy sadness envy those are all really unhealthy qualities to just live in and just living in the social media realm that we are in right now in which were always being by bombarded with picture-perfect relationships or picture-perfect women or men or whoever is really hard to not get into that really unhealthy lifestyle I actually talked about how I started unfollowing people who made me feel bad about myself and that's just something mentally I needed to do so you just need to one do that if you really need to like remove all these toxic images from your mind but you also just really need to remind yourself that you are amazing inside and out and I know that is probably the hardest thing to do something that I used to do when I really really really needed to work on my self-confidence was that every day I would write on a mirror whatever mirror that you see the most for me it was my bathroom mirror I would write down one positive thing or one thing that I absolutely loved about myself it can be as small as you know I love my long nails or it can be something as huge as I am a great leader in a group work situation whatever it is that you love about yourself right that quality on a mirror every time you see that mirror look at it and feel it Wow you know I have these beautiful nails Wow I am such a great leader every single time you see that in the mirror and then the next day you add one more quality to the list and every day after that for a week you write one quality that you love about yourself and by the end of the week you will have seven qualities that you love and from there you can either continue or you can just live in those seven qualities but honestly from beginning to end those are probably seven qualities that you never thanked yourself verbally for so this is all about verbal affirmation and once you see it and feel it every single day you're actually gonna start believing it like really really believing it and your confidence will start to grow from there.
4-Regular Exercise or activity
the next tip it wouldn't be a health healthy lifestyle video without it is to get regular exercise in and actually sort of exercise I'm just gonna call it regular activity and because it doesn't necessarily have to be a workout it can be a nice long walk or it could be a kick-ass spin class whatever it is you need to keep your body movement so like on some days while I'm at home I might want to get in a really kick-ass long hit workout where I just sweat and on other days I want to take it more mellow and just do and our Pilates are doing at home workout for abs for 10 minutes whatever it is figure out what works best for you and just know that not every day needs to be the same all right.
5-Hangout with friends
thenext tip I think is incredibly important and tip number five is to hang out with your friends I honestly feel the most relaxed and most comfortable when I am around my girlfriends and you may just love love love your significant other like I love Brian but there is something about that relationship between best friends that just can't be beat so whether it's post work drinks or you know a group workout class schedule out time to spend as much time as possible with your friends and just hang out and let loose all right.
6- Drink more water (Hydrate)
the next tip is to hydrate now I feel like whether it's a workout video or a skincare video always talking about hydrating because just I think we as humans are just chronically dehydrated and that just makes a world of difference in terms of health not only body wise but also skin wise cut your body weight in half and that's how many ounces you should aim to drink every day so I'm 120 pounds so I should be drinking 60 ounces every day so that's like a good starting point to figure out how much water you should be drinking once you start actually hydrating yourself you can begin to feel when your body feels dehydrated and just add from there.
7-Try something new
tip number seven is something that I am actively working on and it is to try something new now you wouldn't necessarily think trying something new would be a great habit health-wise to get into but it really it is I have something new get you out of your comfort zone it makes you really really uncomfortable and it challenges you it's very scary to do something new but embrace that feeling because once you accomplish whatever it is that you want to accomplish you know how confident and how amazing you're gonna feel at that moment it's gonna be incredible though this can mean something different for everyone maybe it's a new workout class maybe you want to learn a new skill maybe you just want to be able to go to the movies by yourself figure out what it is that you really really really want to accomplish and you know set a timeline to get it done.
8-Get enough sleep (6 to 8 hours/day)
tip number eight is to get enough sleep when we don't get enough sleep we not only feel like crap but frankly we kind of look like crap too and our mind just does not work the same getting six to eight hours of sleep is ideal and don't give me that you know I don't have time to sleep bs because you need to start making time for yourself .
9-Listen to your body & don't eat junk food
habit number nine that we all need to get into is to listen to your body we all know that eating junk food is not good for us we know we read it we feel it but what we also might not know is some of the healthy foods that we eat aren't good for us either listening to your body is really the only way to figure out what works for you so I've definitely cut back on me like I don't really eat red meat or meat in general at all because it doesn't make me feel good I don't drink milk I don't eat dairy because it doesn't make me feel good so start really listening to your body and if you feel sluggish or you know constipated no one wants to talk about that or bloated after you eat something that's probably a good sign that you should cut that out alright 10-Take Vitamins & Minerals we have come to habit number.
10 Take probiotics and vitamins
taking supplements or vitamins minerals probiotics is just a really easy way to make sure your body is running on all cylinders everyone has different things that their body needs to work on so I would definitely recommend going to a doctor or in my case like a holistic doctor for them to tell you what vitamins and minerals you need to take but for me, in general, I take b12 I take vitamin C and I take probiotics which I think everyone needs to add into I guess their diet there are a lot of probiotics out there I like to use cultural Pro well immune and energy because it also has vitamins that help support my immune health and keep me energized which sometimes the b12 doesn't really work so anything else that I can add to help with my energy is good for me speak to your doctor figure out what vitamins and minerals you need to add to your diet and get to it.
