50 Lifestyle Changes To Improve Your Health

  1. Meal prep on Sunday.  If you prep your food on Sunday, you won’t have to worry about cooking after a long day’s work.  Open the refrigerator, heat it up and you have a home cooked meal ready and waiting.
  2. Exercise in the morning.  Can you just imagine the energy and motivation you will feel when you release those endorphins first thing in the morning?  You will feel energized all day long.
  3. Go to bed early.  Nothing beats a good nights rest!  Your mind will thank you and you will be more active and creative.
  4. Meditate.  This daily practice will keep you relaxed and calm throughout the day.  This is my favorite morning routine and I can’t live without it.
  5. Do Yoga.  Ahh Yes!!  If you have never tried this practice, I highly recommend it.  I have been a yoga instructor for over 14 years and yoga has the power to transform your mind and improve your flexibility. 
  6. Volunteer at a women’s shelter.  When you give of yourself, you heart smiles and you truly understand the meaning; “It’s more important to give than to receive.”   
  7. Drink 8 glasses of water.  Hydrating is one the most important things you can do to flush out those toxins.  Did you know keeping hydrated can combat fatigue?  Stay hydrated!  🙂
  8. Read all food labels.  If you are not reading labels on the food your purchase, you just maybe eating excessive sugar and saturated fats.  Stay mindful of processed food, it contains the largest amount of salt and sugar.
  9. Take vitamins.  Supplements keep us on track with the nutrient gaps we are missing in our diet.  Stay healthy and find a vitamin that works for you.
  10. Create a monthly budget.  A budget keeps you on track with the money coming in and the money going out.   By budgeting your money, you are in control of your finances allowing you to save money for your goals.
  11. Write down your goals.  When you see your goals written down in black and white, they take on new meaning.  You stay more focused and on task.
  12. Try and avoid processed food.  Convenience can mean large amounts of hidden sugar, fat and sodium.  Learn which processed foods to avoid in your diet.
  13. Smile at a complete stranger.  Make someone’s day by showing your pearly whites and saying “hi” to a complete stranger.   Don’t wait for a person to smile, show them how it’s done!
  14. Invest in you. Self-care is necessary if you want to refuel your gas tank.  You cannot give of yourself when your gas tank is on empty.
  15. Read a good book.  Knowledge is power and reading is an activity that keeps the brain active and increase mental stimulation.
  16. Start an investment plan. It’s never too late to plan for your future.  Create a plan to help and improve your financial goals. 
  17. Eat more fruits and vegetable. Fruits and vegetables are a very important part of your diet.  Start your day off right by adding fruits or vegetables to your breakfast routine.
  18. Start a journal. Journaling is the perfect way to write down your thoughts to release the stress and gain mental clarity.  By writing down your thoughts, you can begin to solve your problems and stay focused.
  19. Create a morning ritual. Start your day out right with a morning ritual to boost your energy.  Be sure you have the right blend of both physical and mental activities.
  20. Have an attitude of gratitude. Be grateful for what you have instead of being discouraged by what you don’t have.  Life is not always fair but being grateful is a choice.
  21. Be spontaneous. One of the best ways to beat boredom is to do something spontaneous.  Think of it as an adventure to break up your daily routine.
  22. Write a “To Do” list.  A lists keeps you focused on what needs to be accomplished.   The ability to check something off on your to-do list giving you a sense of progress and fulfillment.
  23. Recycle.  Keep our environment clean by recycling.  It helps to preserve our resources enabling us to have clean air and water.
  24. Watch less TV.  Is TV influencing the way you see the world? Do your own investigation to seek the truth.  Too much TV results in a disillusionment about what we expect from politics, love and relationships. 
  25. Treat everyone with respect. Treat everyone with the same respect you would like to receive in return.  You may no agree with their morals or values but honor their opinion.  
  26. Stand firm to your beliefs and values.   Always do the right thing even when no one else is watching.  Do not allow outside factors, whether it’s people opinions or peer pressure, to prevent you from choosing the right thing to do.
  27. Dream BIG.  Are you ready to dream BIG?  Don’t be the person who views their life from the rear view mirror.  If you don’t take a risk you will never feel true freedom. 
  28. Hang out with positive people.  Surround yourself with people who encourage and champion your efforts. Positive people are optimistic and always see their glass half FULL.
  29. Stop comparing.  Stop comparing yourself to other people. Low self-esteem stems from feeling inferior.  Your personal mission is to be better today than you were yesterday.  
  30. Declutter and stay organized.   One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to declutter and get organized. Make lists or     purchase an organizer. Do whatever works for you. One word of advice: follow the KISS principle (Keep it Simple, Sincere).  
  31. Don’t be judgmental.  Although judgment is a natural instinct, try to catch yourself before you speak.  Remember you cannot get your words back. 
  32. Be mindful.   To be mindful, is the practice of focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting where you are without judgment.   It is currently being examined scientifically as being a key element to your happiness.
  33. Do your best and forget the rest.  You don’t have to be perfect to be great! However, staying consistent and persistent in your pursuit will help you crush your goals.
  34. Find a new hobby.  Meeting others who have the same thing in common will improve your confidence and self-esteem. Increasing your social circle can be a very rewarding from both a personal and business perspective. 
  35. Hold yourself accountable. Be consistent, be prepared and be dependable and focus on your solutions.  Take the initiative and go the extra mile to achieve your goals.
  36. Take Dance Lessons. If you want to add some spice with your partner, get more coordinated or just bust a move, take some lessons and make your debut on the dance floor.
  37. Spend time outdoors.  Take time from the fast-paced, technology lifestyle and step outside to enjoy the scents and colorful array of plants right outside your door.  
  38. Face your fears. Face your fears rather than avoiding them. Whatever it is, action is the only thing that brings courage and nets success.
  39. Connect with others.  Being social and engaging with others is the quickest, most efficient way to rein in stress, improve your confidence and gain clarity.
  40. Laugh often.   Laughter is a powerful remedy for stress, pain, and tension. Nothing works faster to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh.
  41. Never skip breakfast. When you eat breakfast it helps to maintain your blood sugar level, it improves your concentration, brings clarity and creates more strength and endurance.
  42. Just Say NO.  Trying to do everything is a one-way ticket to serious stress. Be clear about your limits and stop trying to please everyone all the time.
  43. Change Your Thought Pattern.  Fearful thoughts attract fear and positive thoughts attract success.  It takes as much energy to think positive as it does to think negative.  Instead of expecting the worst expect the BEST.
  44. Quit waiting for the right time.  Quit waiting for things to happen, you need to take action and begin creating.  You have endless possibilities and the world is your playground!
  45. Do Not dwell on scarcity. Learn, think and speak as an abundant person.  Focus on giving more of your time, your love and your listening ear.
  46. Celebrate Your Victories.  Rewards are just a simple praise you give yourself to embrace your accomplishments.  When you recognize yourself, your enthusiasm and performance increases and it brings personal fulfillment.
  47. Slow down and be present.  When you spend time in the moment to  focus on your senses and admire the view, you feel less stress and tense.
  48. Practice self-care.  Do not let your work dictate or define who you are. Master the art of recharging your body to relax and have fun. Everything will get done in due time. 
  49. Focus on positive affirmation. When you practice positive affirmations, you prove you are special, you are enough, you are smart and you are worthy of love.
  50. Be an active listener.  When you are actively listening, you use your own body language and gestures to show you are engaged.  You reflect back on what is being said without holding judgement or advice.

10 Simple Steps To Find Happiness and Bring Joy Back Into Your Life

Positive attitude

We are all searching for happiness and each of us finds a unique way to seek it out. If we build habits that encourage us to feel more positive than it can help us to have more joy, be more productive and reduce those negative thoughts.

Here are 10 Simple Steps to bring more joy and happiness back into your life. So are you in?  Then let’s get started!

  1. Hang out with individuals who elevate and make you smile. The people we surround ourselves with do influence how we think, feel and act. This affects both our self-belief and self-confidence.  Make it a point to spend time with people who are positive, non-critical, and have an optimistic view on life. These type of people will support, lift you up and encourage you by their words and actions.   
  2.   
  3. Accept compliments. When someone compliments you, accept it graciously.  You should feel proud of your accomplishments and what you did well. It’s quite alright to be modest, while still being grateful and gracious. 

    Are you ready to hear what is the best response to a compliment is?   Drum roll please: “Thank You.” Yep. That’s it, plain and simple. So the next time someone compliments you just use this simple phrase!

  4. Imagine the best possible solution instead of expecting the worst. When we lack self-confidence, we tend to focus on everything that can go wrong instead of what can go right. We get overwhelmed by our problems it can be very difficult to come up with a resolution.  Rather than allowing fear to take over, try and stay positive, take a deep breath and reassess the problem.  You have a greater chance of solving the problem when you remain calm and at peace.
  5.  
  6. Do the things you love. When you love what you do and do what you love, doors will open which always appeared as walls!  If you don’t like getting up every Monday morning and living from paycheck to paycheck then it’s time do a course correction. Instead of lashing out at your current situation see what you need to change in your life.  
  7.  
  8. Find your purpose and passion.  Discovering your gifts and talents will give meaning to your life and can lead you to finding your purpose and passion. 

    Your purpose is what drives you, what wakes you up in the morning and gives you energy.  Here are a few questions which can help you discover what underlying gifts and talents you have:

    • What comes naturally to you?
    • When do you feel the best?
    • What are you doing or experiencing then?
    • In what way do you love to help other people?

If you do nothing else with your life, seek your purpose, with all your heart, so you can reap the benefits of a meaningful life!

10 Simple Steps To Find Happiness

6.  Listen to the silence.  When you silence the mind your awareness is peaked and you can experience inner peace and happiness in the midst of confusion. 

This inner peace is what attracts a lot of people to meditate or do yoga.  Keep in mind, everyone can do it and anyone who attempts this relaxation therapy can benefit from it.  I have been meditating for years and I do it every morning before I start my day.  It is not difficult to do and I love the silence in the morning before the day begins.  The benefits of meditation can provide you a life that is peaceful, happy and relaxed. 

7.  Be open to change. We have to accept the necessary changes to come into our life in order to progress and move forward… even if it appears scary!  Remember:  accepting change is a process that requires time and patience. 

It’s not enough to make self-supporting choices when your journey is easy.  It’s about making the decisions when it’s difficult.  Making self-empowering decisions under stress is what leads you to your authentic personal growth and it solidifies your inner change making you feel happy and alive.

8.  Enjoy the simple pleasures of life.  When you bask in the simple pleasures of life, it truly can be a gift that keeps giving.

Whether you laugh until your stomach hurts or listen to the birds chirping a familiar melody; the beauty and its splendor is a feeling like a piece of art.   Enjoy its splendor and learn to appreciate your surroundings and the simple pleasures of life.

9.  Have an attitude of gratitude.  Keeping an attitude of gratitude is a practice we should exercise on a daily basis. Having the right perspective about our blessings will enrich our lives, foster our growth and allow us to be happy.   It is amazing when you exhibit an act of kindness it shifts your emotions, creates a feeling of gratitude and ultimately makes your heart shine! 

10.  Have faith.   Having faith is an understanding that there is a higher power working on your behalf. Realize there is someone who hears your prayers and will help you with your decision making, when you ASK! You do not have all the answers, try not to do everything in your own strength and go with the universal flow.

Finding peace and happiness in life does not necessarily mean to be in a place where there is no noise, no obstacles or no hard work.  It means to be in the midst of the storm while remaining calm in your heart.

Believing in yourself is the key factor in creating a positive, happy environment.  When you believe in yourself, your skill set, abilities and self-confidence level will know no boundaries
