Ways to kickstart a healthy living
Stop thinking, start acting:
Who does not think about having a healthy lifestyle. It is surely the most common thing on everyone’s to-do We think and think and think and keep procrastinating our health as other things catch our attention and take up priority over our own self. Our brain overwhelms us with the planning and preparation we need to do in order to start a change. But it is nothing but our own inhibitions which don’t let us move forward. We need to overcome our own doubts and comfort zone or else this thinking, planning, and rethinking become a vicious cycle. Healthy living is simple. We simply need to act on it without thinking too much about it.
Nourish your body:
If we start treating our body as we treat others in society we would be nearly 50% better at our healthy lifestyle goal. If there is anything we take for granted the most, it is our body. Nourishing your body not only speaks about the food we eat but everything we give our body. good mental peace and healthy social stimulation are equally important. A healthy life is incomplete without nourishing food, positive people, and a peaceful environment.
Move:
Everything around the world is moving fast except for you. We don’t move enough. With the digital age of technology kicking in and the world available at our fingertips we have forgotten to move. It is high time we start standing up and do some stretching, running, walking, jogging, yoga ourselves even if it is for just 20 minutes a day to kickstart a healthy life.
Drink water:
We all have repeatedly heard this but are guilty of not practicing it enough. We are so occupied with everything else that we forget the most basic requirement of our body and it’s high time we grab that bottle of water and give it its due by finishing it each day
Have a good night’s sleep:
If there was a measure as to how well we are doing with our healthy lifestyle cycle it would be easy to compare it with the quality of our sleep. The time, duration, and nature of our sleep sum up the quality of our life when we are awake. A satisfying day at work, a stressful event, a depressed state of mind, a joyful experience everything resonated with our quality of sleep. A healthy routine followed during the day would end with a peaceful and good 8- 9 hour night sleep.
