Good Daily Habits Can Make Such A Big Difference To Your Overall Health And Your
Life. In This Article, I'm Going To Share 10 Daily Habits That Have Changed My Life
In Many Different Ways.
Welcome Back To The Whole Happy Life. I'm A Holistic
Nutritionist With A Food Engineering Background. Today's Article
Talks About 10 Daily Habits That Have Made A Really Big Difference In My Life
In Different Areas Such As Physical Health, Emotional Health, And Brain Health.
Before We Dive In, I Wanted To Say A Few Things So You Know The Context. The First
The Thing Is These Daily Habits Have Been The Result Of Gradual Habit-forming Over
The Last Five Years- It's Not Something That Happened Overnight. It Is Difficult
Forming Habits Does Take Time. The Second Thing - Although These Habits Are
Daily Habits I Don't Put Pressure On Myself To Do Them Every Day Especially
When Things Get Too Busy Or Things Are Too Overwhelming. Sometimes Things Slide
A little, That's okay. When You're Making Lifestyle Changes It's Not About
Perfection's About Doing What You Can, Generally, I Try To Do These
Habits At Least Three To Five Times A Week In The Times That I'm Really
I Stressed Out Because I Feel That They Do Help Me Stay On Track And They Do Help
Reduce Stress. Anyway, Enough With The Introduction, Let's Get Into The Habits.
My First Daily Habit Is I Drink A Glass Of Water As Soon As I Get Up. Well
Not As Soon As I Get Up, I Brush My Teeth, I Go To The Bathroom, And Then I Have A
A Glass Of Water. I Find That This Has Made A Big Difference In Energy Levels In The
Morning. When We're Sleeping We're Not Taking It Any Water And When We Wake Up
We Can Be Mildly Dehydrated And When We're Dehydrated Our Fatigue Levels Go
Up. There Is Some Science Behind This - I'll Put It In The Description Box. So A
A Good Thing To Do Is Start Your Morning By Getting Enough Hydration. I Drink A
A Glass Of Filtered Water. If I Feel Like It, I'll Add Some Lemon To It, I Don't Always
Do That And It's Usually At Room Temperature But If You Like Warm Water
That Can Work Too. It Really Is About Personal Preference But Drinking Some
Water In The Morning Is A Great Thing To Do For Your Energy Levels. Number Two I
Meditate For 10 Minutes Every Day. I Used To Be Very Skeptical About
Meditation When I First Started. I Didn't Really Believe In If I Didn't Think That
There Was Science Behind It, But There Is Actually Quite a bit Of Science. It Can
Do Things Like Reduce Anxiety, It Can Help Improve Your Immune Function, It
Can Help Reduce Pain? There's A Lot That It Can Do, I Have A Few Links In The
Description Box But For Me, The Biggest Change Is Mental Clarity And I Feel Much
Calmer. I Am Not Naturally A Calm Person, I May Appear Calm On YouTube, But
I Am Not Naturally A Calm Person. Meditation - Years Of Meditation Has
Gotten Me To This Point And I Really Do Think That There Are A Lot Of Benefits
To Try It Out. Now If You're A Beginner, Meditation Can Seem Very
Daunting, And I Have Two Tips To Provide. So The First One Is to Try To Just Be Very
Open About Meditation In The Beginning. The First 10 To 15 Sessions For Me Were
Very Difficult. I Didn't Know What I Was Doing And I Felt Overwhelmed And I Felt
Like I Was Doing It The Wrong Way. It Wasn't Until The 15th Or 16th Session
That I Really Got Into It And I Started To See The Benefit. So Give It Time. The
The Second Thing Is If You Are Starting Out, Try Guided Meditation Versus Meditation
Where You're Just Doing It On Your Own. Guided Meditation Can Really Help You
Stay On Track And Can Really Guide You Through The Process. I Use An App Called
Calm - I Highly Recommend It. I Love It. There Is Also Another App Called
Headspace, Which You Could Try Out. Number Three, I Go For A Brisk Walk Outdoors
Every Day. Now I Have To Say That I Live In Canada So A Brisk Walk Outdoors Every
A Day Does Not Happen Year-round! It Doesn't Happen In The Winter, But For The
The Rest Of The Year I Do Try To Get Outside Because I Find It's Such A Mood Booster
To Get Some Fresh Air. To Get Some Sunlight And To Be Out In The Greenery
And There Are Studies That Show That Exposure To Greenery Is Good For Your
Health. As Usual, Everything is In The Description Box. Now For Me The Brisk
The Walk Is Not Just A Mood Booster - It's Also The Way I Get Exercise. I Am Not A
Gym Person, I Have Never Been In A Gym Person I Just Don't Enjoy It Who Knows
Who Are The People Who Enjoy The Gym I Would Love To Do That But I Just Can't, I Don't
Like It So For Me, Getting Exercise Has To Be Something That's Part
Of My Lifestyle And I Love Going Up The Walk, So I Started To Make I Walk My
Exercise Now The World Health Organization Recommends That We Get
About 150 Minutes Of Moderate Cardiovascular Activity Per Week Or 75
Minutes Of Cardiovascular Activity, A Walk, Can Count If Your Heart Rate Is
High Enough So When I'm Walking I Test My Heart Rate I Have An App On My Phone
Samsung Health Is The App That
