HEALTHY HABITS
Some of my favorite habits that I have learned over the past year that have improved my overall mood, health, and wellbeing.
01. Healthier diet
🍊I say “healthier” because to eat healthy all of the time for most people is unrealistic. Though, the smallest improvements to diet can make such a huge difference! I have severe stomach problems and for me switching to a less sugary, non processed food diet has made all of the difference. From adding in just 3/4 different vegetables a week I saw major improvements in how I processed food and was able to reduce pain significantly.
02. Move your body!
🏃🏻♀️Exercise is so important in your overall health and life. It not only reduces chances of illness, but it releases endorphins and “happy chemicals” that greatly impact our daily mood. This impacts all aspects of daily life and also - look good feel good 💁🏻♀️
03. Take time to reflect
💭Most of us spend all day on autopilot at our jobs, school, or on social media. Taking just a few minutes per day to think about what you want, what you need, and where you’re struggling can quickly help you achieve your goals and start to live your dream life.
04. Connect with nature
🌳Allowing yourself to touch some grass really does help. Once in awhile when I’m feeling down I take a walk, go on a hike, or just sit outside and breathe some fresh air. I promise you will always feel at least a little better than you did before.
05. Spend time with good friends
👯Emphasis on GOOD! Relationships impact your daily life and mood - meaning bad friends can have a negative impact on you indefinitely‼️ Spending time with bad friends will actually decrease your mood, productivity, and energy. It is arguably the most important habit to pick who you surround yourself with wisely as you become who you are surrounded with. Spend time with the good friends and they will make you better!!

Incorporating healthy habits into your daily routine can transform your life for the better. A healthier diet, which emphasizes whole foods over processed ones, is key for overall health. Try to include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your meals. Exercise is also crucial; even moderate physical activity can elevate your mood by releasing endorphins, which act as natural mood elevators. Don't forget to schedule daily moments of reflection. Taking time to connect with your thoughts can clarify your goals and enhance your sense of well-being. Furthermore, being in touch with nature can be incredibly restorative. Simple activities like walking in the park or hiking can boost your mood and energy levels significantly. Lastly, the influence of friends cannot be overstated. Surround yourself with positive, supportive individuals who uplift you and contribute to your happiness. Remember, the quality of your relationships plays a significant role in your mental health. By consciously integrating these habits into your life, you can cultivate a holistic approach to improving your health and happiness.
