wellnessWith everyday pressures of your job and family, as well as a busy lifestyle, it’s sometimes difficult to concentrate on finding time for your own wellbeing and overall health. Both aspects of your life are something that many people take for granted, and if it is neglected, it can be hard to know where to start to get your spark back. That said, getting it back is actually easier than you think and some simple changes can help you enjoy a more fulfilled lifestyle with plenty of time for yourself and others around you. Valuing this ‘me’ time is something many people feel guilty about, but it is vital for sustaining a healthy outlook on life and appreciating the little things that make you happy.

So if you are looking for ways to improve your health and overall wellbeing, take a look at these handy tips to get you back on track.

Time for reflection

One of the best ways to focus on creating a healthier body and mind is by reflecting on your lifestyle and your relationships with people around you. Most people get hooked on the negative aspects of their life but switching this up and looking at the positive can have profound effects. Your life will be full of achievements, and they don’t have to be huge and noticeable to anyone except you. It isn’t a case of having to prove yourself to anyone; this merely focuses on your own personal goals and how you look at life in general. Reflection is good for everyone and establishes a foundation for all the positive areas of your lifestyle. This positivity helps to encourage better attitudes to everyday situations and helps to focus on the good aspects even in unfavorable circumstances. Also, if you spend a few minutes a day or week reflecting on your achievements, you will reap the rewards of a more enlightened mindset.

Learn something new

Life can sometimes be monotonous and dull, but if you let that become an everyday occurrence, then this routine can take over your lifestyle. If you’ve been in the same job for a while or do the same activities day-in and day-out, why not consider taking up a new hobby or learning something new? Using your mind in different ways can stimulate the brain and get you excited about different things in your life. You can choose to embark on a new challenge by yourself or take a friend along to share the experience. If you’re looking to further your career or completely change direction, going back to the classroom can assist and signing up for a vast variety of courses to gain qualifications and experience for a new role. Trying something completely out of your comfort zone is also a great way to challenge yourself and breaks down the barriers in your mind. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t do something, try to think of ways around it such as facing your fears or taking the plunge to learn can give you a refreshed outlook on life.

Changing your diet

The food you eat can play havoc with your emotions. We’ve all reached for chocolate in times of stress or upset, so learning to realize what foods we associate with our mood is important for overall health. It is often overlooked that diet contributes to a healthy mind but also general health is often taken for granted when you enjoy fast foods and convenience over healthy alternatives. Making simple changes to everyday diet can see lasting benefits to health. Getting a plentiful selection of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats plus all the vitamins and minerals you need will set you on the right path.

If you frequently exercise, getting the right foods is important for maintaining healthy body function under increased activity. It might be necessary to supplement your diet with extra nutrients and What Protein Powders 2018 highlights some of the best options available.

Drinking plenty of water can also make big improvements to health as most of the time when you feel hungry, you could actually be thirsty! So, reaching for a glass of water before food could help stave off any cravings. Dehydration is a common occurrence in most people, and it is recommended that your drink at least two liters a day to replenish your natural resources.

Exercise frequently

Working out or just getting outside for walk has immediate benefits to both the health of your body and mind. Exercise is a mood booster and also assists in keeping a healthy and manageable weight. It is still one of the many things that you can do to improve many aspects of your life, but unfortunately, it is often overlooked or put on the back burner due to busy lifestyles. If you choose not to exercise each day, you could be increasing your risk of future health problems and contributing to a decreased sense of well-being over time. Changing your habits and incorporating just a little exercise, however small each day will have long-term benefits for your body and mind and provide a healthy outlook for the future.

Take a break

In a world where being busy is the new norm, taking a break can make you feel guilty. The key to increased productivity is working better not harder and taking a break is a part of this process. Enjoying a rest and being able to refresh is vital for re-evaluating your life. This time out can help boost mental and physical health and provides a new outlook on everyday problems. Using your vacation entitlement at work and taking a good clean break can help you feel revived and ready to go back with new ideas.

There are several things that you can do to improve your general wellbeing and body health on a daily basis and making small changes will ensure you get the most out of life with the people you love. Take the first steps to a healthy you and enjoy the rewards of these new lifestyle changes.

This week, most Americans will be embarking on journeys across the country to spend Thanksgiving with friends and family. Before the travel rush, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the actual meaning of the holiday. It’s not about shopping, football or even the damn pilgrims, it’s about giving thanks. A day assigned for gratitude. While it may sound basic, gratitude is such an important aspect of overall well being. Being grateful for what you have and who you are will beget more things to be grateful for. When you focus on what you don’t have or covet what others have in disdain, that negativity will fester and keep repelling all the things you so badly want. Mindfulness and mindset are the keys to happiness and gratitude is the secret ingredient. Start with the small things and you’ll see that you have so much to be grateful for. Once you make that a daily practice, the world becomes magic! So this Thanksgiving, really take stock and look around you, take inventory of what’s good in your life and how far you’ve come. It’s your life, your own path. Make gratitude the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving! Life is a journey, live it well! #thanksgiving #grateful #gratitude #gratefulaf #healthylifestyle #happy #happiness #happythanksgiving 1K 4
