Hi Folks Welcome back to Your Self Growth Journey !
Today I'm sharing 9 daily healthy habits for a better you these are tips to help you level up your life through small daily actions over time you are what you repeatedly do so take some time
to reflect on your daily habits are your habits helping you grow towards the
person you want to become or are they pushing you further away from that ideal -
1. The first habit is to start your day with intention and a guiding question your
intention is your compass reminding you what you want to focus on based on your
intention you can create a daily guiding question that you can ask yourself at
the beginning of each day for example my intention this year is to nourish myself
to not overwork or allow myself to get burnt out so to encourage myself to
focus on that intention every morning i ask myself this daily guiding question how
do i want to be nourished today the answer may vary depending on what I feel like
i need that day some days I feel like i definitely need to do yoga or journal
out my thoughts other days I might feel like taking the day off and taking the
pressure off it's nice because asking that question every morning allows me to
focus on my intention and design my day around it so give it some thoughts and
comment down below what would you like your daily guiding question to be.
2. The second daily habit is to level up your
hydration we all know how important it is to stay hydrated and drink a lot of
water that should be your first priority if you don't have the habit of drinking
enough water go take a sip of water right now it's okay i'll wait did you do it
okay now that that's out of the way my tip on top of that is to level up your
hydration by finding ways to add benefits to your water in a way that you enjoy
there are so many creative and healthy ways to do this but the key word here is
what you enjoy for starters i love having hot water it's easier on your
digestive system than cold water is i like using these stainless steel bottles
to keep my water warm all day and i have two of these with me at all times you
can also try adding lemon to your water for a vitamin c boost maybe try adding
some honey and ginger with your hot water i also started stocking my fridge
with coconut water and green juice so coconut water is for extra electrolytes
and i just feel like it's extra hydrating for some reason and green juice of
course has a lot of its own vitamins and minerals you can either buy the juice
form or buy like a green powder mix instead of coffee try switching to some green
tea or you can experiment with teas that have different health benefits another
example is i have this mushroom tincture that includes 11 types of mushrooms
like chaga reishi and lion's mane and they are all known as adaptogens that
offer various health benefits so all i do is add a couple droppers into my
water which is super easy to do my point is instead of just drinking water all
day which is what I used to do you can consider adding extra nutrients while
you hydrate there's nothing wrong with just drinking water but these are just
extra ideas to add more benefits so you get more bang for your buck habit.
3. Number three move your body in a way that's
fun to you i've learned that in order to stick with an exercise routine it has
to be fun and frictionless i can't be motivated to go for a run but i do love
to do yoga and to dance my recent favorite is doing dance workouts from the mad
fit youtube channel she has a good combo of good music and fun dance moves that
are easy to follow to reduce friction Or resistance to working out i created a youtube
playlist of dance workout videos so when it's time for me to work out I can go
straight to that playlist and don't have to spend time searching for a workout
to do i also recommend having a designated space to work out with your gear
ready and laying out your workoutclothes so you already have something to wear
I love how dancing makes me feel I noticed that even if i'm feeling lazy and
unmotivated if i can get myself to follow a video for 10 minutes eventually my
mood will change and i'll feel like doing more so find a way to move your body
that feels fun enough that you'll want to keep going.
4. Another habit to incorporate into your day is
to calm your mind and find your center there are so many distractions and
stimulants throughout our day that it's important to have a daily habit of
quieting your mind and connecting with yourself whether it's taking a walk
outside sitting down to meditate or making time to stretch in the evenings find
an enjoyable way to detach mentally from your everyday thoughts and stresses instead
of being constantly plugged in you have to take time to unplug and reset
mentally when we do this consistently we develop a clearer mind and better
mental well-being overall.
5. The
fifth habit is to find consistent healthy meals that you genuinely love on the
road to a better you change yourself from the inside out by being more
intentional about the food you eat most of us know that it's healthiest to eat
whole foods foods that are closest to their natural form that you would find in
nature versus eating processed foods like fast food or snacks but it's not
always easy to commit to a healthy diet one trick i've found to make eating healthy
a daily habit is to search for healthy meals that you absolutely love that you
can eat often without getting sick of it for me it's my daily fruit bowl i
always start with a fruit bowl as my first meal so that i know i'm getting in
my fruits for the day i personally love sweets and i found a variation of the
fruit bowl that i love so much i can eat it every day banana apple peanut butter
and granola what's nice is i can switch out the fruits depending on the season
or how i feel today there's some papaya other times i've had blueberries pineapple
persimmon kiwi you guys get the point i found a healthy meal that I love and
can have every day without getting sick of it a bonus tip i have for you is to
keep a menu of your healthy food options or recipes because i'm a visual person
i like to organize it on notion so that i can see visually all the meals that i
can make for inspiration i also keep a list of what fresh produce i have in the
fridge so I know what to cook with these ingredients before they go bad.
6. The
next healthy habit is to take five minutes every day to write down your
thoughts of gratitude anyone can take five minutes out of their day to do
something gratitude journaling is such a simple yet powerful practice because
having gratitude in your life shapes how you feel about everything else you'll
feel happier luckier and more abundant when you focus on your gratitude energy
goes where attention flows so bring energy to the positives in your life versus
the negatives daily habit number seven prioritize your most important task for the
day if you want to be productive focus on being more effective versus just
being efficient being effective means you're working on the most important or
impactful thing that you could be working on being efficient simply means that
you're doing something faster or with less energy being efficient doesn't
matter if you're working on the wrong thing so instead of trying to get more
done in your day focus on completing the most important task for your day every
day ask yourself if i completed only one task today which tasks would make me
feel the most proud or satisfied it will likely be the hard thing the thing
that you want to avoid and procrastinate on because you have some resistance
and fear around tackling it that fear is actually a good sign that this is a
thing that you should do because it will challenge you and empower you to grow
the most.
7. The
next habit is to take 10 minutes every day to do a daily reset this is a habit
that i personally want to work on because i found that I often neglect cleaning
and then over time I just becomes too overwhelming to tackle and so I
procrastinate on it even more instead of letting things get out of hand try
taking 10 minutes a day to reset an area that needs it this could mean
organizing your desk putting away clothes cleaning in general or even organizing
your files on your desktop if things got a little too crazy 10 minutes is a
doable time for everyone set a time in your day and make it a routine like before
or after you work building this daily habits will help cultivate a more ideal
space and a better environment for yourself try it and let me know what you
think.
8. Habit
number eight is to do something every day that brings you joy life shouldn't feel
like a never-ending to-do list nor should you feel like a robot where you're
just focused on getting things done non-stop life should be fun if you're
feeling stressed or overwhelmed remember to come back to what brings you joy how
can you find joy in your day how can you do more of what makes you happy it
really can be in the smallest things and if you feel guilty at the thought of
following your joy why reflect and see what could be blocking you from your joy
what limiting beliefs or expectations might you be holding on to.
9. The
last habit I'll share today is to reflect at the end of your day if you don't
want to live a life where every day feels the same and it all becomes a blur in
your mind take time to reflect and cherish each day for how I went whether you
do it in a journal or digitally reflect on your wins how you feel or drop down
any highlights from your day that you want to remember i use the app day one to
do this and it takes about 10 to 15 minutes a night i like to take at least one
photo a day that represents my day and put it into day one that way i can see
visually how my days looked and what i did on any given day you don't realize
how much you've changed until you look back at your past photos and journal
entries i like collecting my memories and taking snapshots of my life because
it helps me appreciate this journey even more.
