It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when it comes to improving your health. We’ve all heard the advice before: eat better, exercise more, get more sleep yada yada yada, but where do you even start?!
Don’t worry, I’m here to help! I’m sharing 10 small steps that you can take today that can make a big difference in your physical and mental wellbeing.
1. Drink water
Start your day with a glass of water and try to drink more throughout the day. This will help keep you hydrated, give you energy, and improve digestion.
2. Take a walk
Going for a walk is an easy way to get some fresh air and exercise. Even just 20 minutes a day is good for your body and mind!
3. Eat slowly
Eating quickly can lead to overeating, so take the time to savour your meals and chew each bite thoroughly. This will help with digestion and reduce bloating as well.
4. Cut out processed foods
Try to limit how much processed food you eat by replacing them with healthier options like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
5. Get enough sleep
Aim for eight hours of sleep every night so that your body has enough time to rest and repair itself from the day’s activities.
6. Stretch daily
Stretching helps loosen tight muscles, increase flexibility, improve posture, and reduce stress levels in your body.
7. Add greens to your diet
Adding greens like spinach or kale into your diet is an easy way to get extra vitamins and minerals into your meals without sacrificing taste or texture too much!
8. Read a book
Reading for just 15-30 minutes per day can help reduce stress levels as well as expand your knowledge base on various topics (bonus!).
9. Take breaks throughout the day
Taking regular breaks is important for both physical and mental health, so give yourself permission to step away from work at least once an hour during the workday.
10. Reduce screen time
Reducing screen time has been linked with improved sleep quality as well as increased productivity levels throughout the day.
