Doing different activities regularly helps increasing the energy levels. Try  stretching, meditation, or reading. On some days, treat yourself with a delicious healthy breakfast. Or better, listen to your favorites song to start the day.

A warm cooked oatmeal with a pinch of cinnamon or a freshly made strawberry and banana smoothie is a good way to start your morning. Many people enjoy drinking coffee with toast. If you enjoy coffee and toast for breakfast, why not. As long as you are happy.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water is important for overall body health and well-being. Water is important for the natural functioning of the different organs and to regulate the blood flow in the body.

Try drinking eight glasses of water on a daily basis. I know the flavour of water is not for everyone, but add some fresh fruits flavours like lemon, berries, or cucumbers.

To increase sustainable living try and use a reusable water bottle. This will likely help you remember to drink water regularly.

Regular Exercises improves your Lifestyle Changes

A healthy lifestyle depends on physical activities. Exercise regularly helps maintain a good body weight,  improves your mental health,  and reduces stress levels.

It is recommended to exercise at least 150 minutes of moderate intensive activities per week. This is the same as 30 minutes for 5 days in a week. This may be simple exercises such as walking, jogging, cycling, dancing or swimming. 

In case you are not fit and don’t exercise, it is possible to start with the relatively short exercise session and then increase the time. Maybe start with 15 minutes of walking at a slow pace to help you get into a routine of exercising. At first it might be difficult, but keep going it will become easier over time.  

Healthy Eating

Eating food is part of life and is needed to be a live. So why not make it a habit to eat healthy and delicious food. I know cooking can be time consuming, but try to  prepare easy healthy meals.

Opt for easy snacks like nuts, fresh fruits, or raisins for in between meals. Have a balanced meal with enough protein, healthy fats, vegetables and spices to keep the body healthy. If you have a busy work routine, try to prepare food for the week to save time. This will help you eating healthy food during the week.

It is better to avoid highly processed food and a lot of sugar because it leads to energy crashes and affects your health negatively. It is okay to have a treat now and again, but eat it in moderation.

Sleep Enough

Having a restful sleep is key to a good mood the next day and for your well-being. For best results for your body and mind, try and sleep for 7 to 9 hours in the night.

Create a relaxing bedtime habit and try to get in bed and wake up at the  same time each day. Make sure your bedroom is relaxing before go to bed. The room should be cool, dark, and quiet.

Sleep is one of the factors that you should improve because it can boost cognitive performances, reduce stress, reduce depression, anxiety, and vigor.

Practice Mindfulness

The mindfulness philosophy has to do with paying full attention to what one thinks, feels, and sees. Introducing the elements of mindfulness, like meditation or deep breathing can decrease the stress level and add clarity to the mind.

Mindfulness practice, even when it lasts only a few minutes a day, can result in a positive impact on your well being. To improve and add mindfulness into your daily routine, spend some time every day sitting down and try meditating calmly or use meditation apps.

Promote Social Relationships

Availing of good social connections with friends and family is crucial for your emotional health. Make sure that you remain close to your family and friends as this will help in tackling the problems that might occur and boost your happiness.

Initiate a plan to have regular meetings, either in real life or online. Join a club where you find interesting activities to do or participate in some activities to meet new people.

Having a good support network can enhance your mood and help you go through the difficult moments in life.

Restrict the Screen Time

Since we living in the digital era, spending too much time on the screens may contribute to adverse effects on the mental health and physical well being.

Consider adding limits on when you use your smartphones, computers, and televisions. You can add no-screaning at night as part of your daily routine. Especially at meal times or before you go to bed.

Use this time to do more quality things, for example, read a book or magazine, exercise, or talk with  a friend. Engaging in different activities will make you feel better and have better connections with friends and family. It is a good thing to decrease time spent on screens.

Painting, gardening, cooking, playing a musical instrument, and spending time doing what you like most,  will increase your happiness and satisfaction in your life.
