BUILDING HEALTHY HABITS INTO 2025💌🍵🫧
💌:This past 2024 I took a look at my lifestyle and there were things I wanted to change. Starting from internally and externally. I knew that my character could benefit from these positive and most certainly productive changes. In order to be kind and vibrant, you have to take care of yourself ! Pouring into your cup helps you pour into others. If you leave your cup have empty; it will always remain as such. In order to under different perspectives, ideas, and indifferences
💌: This year I’m giving my all into goals big or small. But in order to do so I must start with my habits. Better habits fuel a healthy BODY & MIND. For the last couple years I struggled with sleep, diet, and my confidence.
How to upgrade your daily routine
🫧 : Sleeping Schedule - Going to Sleep at an appropriate time will fuel your body for future responsibilities. It also promotes healthy skin as well as a healthy mental. Sleep is the basic foundation for many healthy habits. You can’t conquer the day only sleeping for a couple hours at a time.
🫧: Healthy & Fun diet - a healthy diet does not mean restrictions and limiting yourself to cheat meals. I also dislike describing going out of my diet as a cheat meal. As someone who has struggled with body dysmorphia as well as eating multiple times throughout the day, and lastly not consuming enough protein. Changing my diet was the biggest factor into healthy habits. After you feel your body with sleep, you also have to fuel your body with food. I used to think I wasn’t a breakfast person, but I noticed it was because I was sleeping in from being a night owl. During the 75 hard, I decided to start making breakfast for myself, and I then realized I actually like breakfast. It starts my metabolism and I feel ready for the day. Eating 2 to 3 times a day as well as making the meals health conscious (involving more than one food groups) makes a difference.
🫧: Drinking Water - this is such a given, and I think we’ve heard this our entire lives. You should be drinking a lot of water throughout the day. I refill my Stanley at least five times a day and that doesn’t include when I go to the gym. As you get acclimated in the gym and eat more, you’ll notice your body needs constant hydration. This will help with the usefulness glow in your face, keeps your body hydrated, and keeps your lips moist.
🫧: Spending Time with Friends & Family - pick your circle wisely. Your journey into the next chapter in your life will involve curing a healthy environment. A lot of the inner work will start to show outwardly you’ll see friends and not understand this transition & you’ll have family members who critique this transition. It’s very important to surround yourself with people who have loved you in every era and support this time of your life. Surround yourself with family and friends that will motivate you to keep going, even on your hardest days, and when the time is right; I love the saying if you work hard, you get to play hard. Getting to rebel in the success with the people you love is a FLEX!
🫧: Being Active - going to the gym is not the only way to be active. Moving your body outside of your daily routine is being active. This past 75 hard I incorporated different ways to be active. I went to many water aerobics classes. I went on a lot of nature walks/hikes. As well as the gym. And just so we’re clear I do not have a gym membership so you don’t even need that to see big results. Adding the gym into my daily routine, has given me so much confidence. I like what I see in the mirror and I feel strong, which is the big goal.

As we progress into 2025, the importance of maintaining healthy habits cannot be overstated. Starting with a consistent sleep schedule can significantly enhance both mental clarity and physical health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to combat fatigue and increase productivity. Incorporating a balanced diet doesn’t mean depriving yourself; instead, it’s about embracing all food groups. Focus on whole foods rich in nutrients and remember that breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. It kickstarts your metabolism and sets a positive tone for your health journey. Hydration is key to overall health as well. Ensure that you're drinking adequate water throughout the day, as this will not only improve skin health but also enhance energy levels. Remember, thirst can often be confused with hunger. Social support plays a vital role in achieving your health goals. Surround yourself with motivating and positive individuals who uplift you. Share your journey with friends and family who celebrate your success and challenge you to keep moving forward. Lastly, find joy in physical activity. Whether it’s through gym workouts, nature walks, or home exercises, staying active should be fun and fulfilling. Variety keeps your routine interesting and encourages consistency. By understanding your motivations and sticking to these core habits, you can create a sustainable pathway to improved health and well-being throughout 2025.
