Healthy Habits

Being healthy isn’t my strong point but that is one thing that I have been trying to work on recently and I can see a massive improvement in my day to day life. I’ve accumulated a list of things that had helped me out on my journey to a better and healthier life, so I thought it might be useful if you guys have the same goal. So here are 10 things that have helped me so far. I’m not trying to say that if you don’t do everything in this list that you are unhealthy and a horrible person at all. I’m just giving you some healthy tips to help your body out and I’m sure that your body will thank you for it.

1. No Phone in the Morning

This may sound difficult for some of you, but it is such a great way to start your day. Checking your phone can make you unhappy.  I don’t touch my phone until I sit down and have breakfast. I mean I should probably wait a little longer but it’s an improvement from being the first thing that I look at. It just lets your mind wander and enables it to think about your day process your thoughts.

2. Yes Friends, No Phone

Technology has pretty much taken over the world and we don’t socialise with our friends and family as much as we should be. When you are with your friends get off your phone and have a conversation with them don’t all sit there and your phones and go on your phone. Put your phone away and ask them about their day or what they are doing this week because it honestly does make you a much happier person and your body will thank you for it as well as your friend.

3. 2 Minute List

This tip is more for cleaning or organising and it is if something takes 2 minutes or less do it straight away because it makes such a big difference. It also makes that massive long list of things that you need to do in your head become shorter quicker.

4. Wash your Hands

I feel like we don’t wash our hands enough or even hand sanitize our hands. I don’t think we realise how many germs are around us throughout our day. Especially our phones. They carry so many germs it’s unreal and washing our hands is just a good habit to get into.

5. Mental Health Checks

Just checking in with your body and mind is so important to do regularly. Meditating, writing down your thoughts, self-love notes or just simply letting your brain slow down and freely think.

6. Listen to your Body

Listening to your body is so important, but it is also good to push yourself. When you are tired go to bed, when you are feeling productive go do something productive, when you are energised go do something energised. You need to take care of your body because you only get one. Your body knows what it needs and you need to listen to what your body is telling you. 

7. Stop Snacking

I was reading this post on Instagram the other day and it said if you are hungry drink some water and wait ten minutes then if you’re still hungry have a black tea and then wait ten minutes and then if you’re still hungry have something to eat and it works. Try to have bigger proper meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and try to limit the amount of snacking.

8. Outdoors Yes Please

Once you finish reading this and when the weather is nice to go outside and run around, read a book, eat a meal or do anything. Fresh air is amazing for your body. Even if it is 10 minutes a day anything will help you out and make you feel a lot better.

9. Brain Dump

Having a notebook next to your bed is a good idea because you have most of your deepest thoughts just before you go to bed or in the shower but you can’t really have a notebook in the shower, but when you are just about to fall asleep jot down your thoughts that you are having and in the morning it will help you out because you might be surprised at how much your thoughts helped you or reminded you to do something important.

10. Get Out of Bed

In the morning when your alarm goes off get out of bed straight away even before you turn your alarm off because it’s so helpful to start your day quicker. It does sound hard if you aren’t a morning person. Trust me I’m not a morning person but don’t think about it just get out of your bed and start your day as soon as you open your eyes.
