It's about feeling good and being at your best. A balanced diet and regular exercise are great for the body, but the mind must also receive the same attention.
Your well-being influences how you feel about yourself and others. It also has an impact on your daily attitude. Happiness is the key to your well-being and when you are happy, a natural energy and the desire to embrace life invades you.
It is therefore necessary to take time for yourself, especially in our hectic lives. Here are some tips to help you make well-being a central part of your life and find peace of mind, even when your schedule is busy.
Take a digital break. Yes, you can still reply to a notification, text message or comment under your profile picture, but it's necessary to take a break from the digital world. Put down your phone, tablet or computer, and take the time to disconnect. For real.
Every day, do one thing you love. like drinking tea when you wake up, doing a morning yoga session or doing your favorite hobby after work. Make sure you always have a pleasant activity in mind, every day.
Try something new. Don't get stuck in routine. Change makes us evolve. Find a new hobby, dare new things or do what you usually do, but differently. Try a new recipe. Take a different route to work. You get the picture.
Do a kind gesture towards someone. You could volunteer for a charity, stop by an elderly neighbor's house to say hello even if you're late, or send a friend flowers to cheer them up. Small and big acts of kindness make us feel good. And the others too.
Think positively. When negative or anxiety-provoking feelings emerge during the day, try to transform them in a positive way. It allows you to see things from a different perspective.
Think of others. When you've had a bad day, you might be tempted to take out your resentment on your better half. The simple act of asking the other person how their day was before speaking up can make all the difference.
Opt for minimalism. These days, we're almost programmed to think that we absolutely have to get the latest gadget. But the question to ask yourself is: will it really improve your life?
A little exercise is good. If you sit all day, try to incorporate more movement into your day. If you can't find time to workout, start by taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
You are what you eat. And drink. Everything you ingest matters. Opt for variety, quantity and nutrition. Choose foods and drinks with less saturated fat, sodium and added sugar. It may seem complicated at first, but each small step can lead to a healthier lifestyle.
Hydrate yourself. Our body is made up of almost 60% water and it should stay that way. Try drinking water or water-based drinks whenever you feel thirsty.
