Going to sleep earlier. Drinking more water. Reading more. Hygiene. Spending less time on my phone. Studying. Protecting my peace. Socializing. Putting effort into my appearance every day. Bettering myself.

Something that makes me happy #64:

Cartoons, I think they’re good for the soul.

Crafting a Transformative Healthy Daily Routine: Your Path to Wellness

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to neglect our well-being while tending to various responsibilities. But adopting a healthy daily routine can have a profound impact on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Whether you're a student, a working professional, or someone seeking a more balanced life, here's a comprehensive guide to help you create a transformative healthy daily routine.

1. Rise and Shine with Intent: Morning Rituals The way you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Begin by waking up at a consistent time to regulate your body's internal clock. Engage in activities that promote mindfulness and positivity, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or journaling. Avoid immediately reaching for your phone or electronic devices to prevent a rush of information before you're mentally prepared.

2. Nourish Your Body: Balanced Breakfast Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. Fuel your body with a nutritious breakfast that includes a mix of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Opt for whole grains, fruits, yogurt, eggs, or smoothies to provide sustained energy throughout the morning.

3. Move and Groove: Physical Activity Incorporate exercise into your daily routine to boost your physical fitness and enhance your mood. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a full gym workout, find an activity you enjoy and make it a non-negotiable part of your day. Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health, increases metabolism, and releases endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones.

4. Structured Work (or Study) Time: Maintain Productivity For those with professional or academic commitments, structuring your work time is crucial. Break your day into focused work intervals, such as the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break). This approach enhances productivity while preventing burnout.

5. Mindful Consumption: Balanced Meals and Hydration Make conscious choices about what you eat and drink throughout the day. Consume a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including lean proteins, colorful vegetables, and healthy fats. Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly. Limit processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive caffeine.

6. Mental Recharge: Short Breaks and Hobbies Intersperse your day with short breaks to relax your mind. Engage in hobbies you're passionate about, whether it's reading, playing a musical instrument, or practicing a craft. These moments of mental recharge enhance creativity and reduce stress.

7. Connect and Communicate: Social Interaction Human beings thrive on social connections. Dedicate time to interact with friends, family, or colleagues. Engaging in meaningful conversations or spending quality time with loved ones can uplift your spirits and provide emotional support.

8. Evening Wind-Down: Unplug and Relaxation As your day winds down, shift into relaxation mode. Limit screen time before bed to avoid the disruption of sleep-inducing hormones. Instead, read a book, take a warm bath, or practice gentle stretching. A calm evening routine sets the stage for a restful night's sleep.

9. Prioritize Sleep: Restorative Rest Sleep plays a pivotal role in overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a sleep-conducive environment by keeping your bedroom dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. Establish a consistent sleep schedule to regulate your body's internal clock.

10. Reflection and Gratitude: Nighttime Journaling End your day by reflecting on your accomplishments and expressing gratitude. Write down a few things you're thankful for and acknowledge the progress you've made, no matter how small. This positive practice sets the tone for the next day.

Incorporating these elements into your daily routine takes time and commitment, but the benefits are worth the effort. A healthy daily routine can improve your physical health, enhance your mental well-being, and contribute to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Remember, it's not about perfection, but rather about progress and consistency on your journey to wellness.

Showering every day or every second day

Taking time each day for language study

Wearing what I like instead of what I think other people will approve of

[healthyselflovetips]

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ~ Aristotle

[bunnyamyrose]

a list of positive habits to develop:

positive affirmations before you go to sleep and when you wake up (in your mind or out loud)

daily meditation (there are different ways to meditate, and it doesn’t always have to be the same amount of time, it can even be short and then maybe built up)

keep a gratitude jar, write something that you’re grateful for on a peace of paper and put it in the jar (can be daily or whenever)

try to do something different from what you usually do / your usual routine (little changes can lead to bigger changes and/or new opportunities — but don’t do something that you’re really not comfortable with, ofc, and please be safe and careful and considerate of others)

spend a few minutes a day cleaning and organizing your room/space (you don’t have to completely tackle clutter all at once if it’s a lot, making daily cleaning and organizing can help to overcome it in the longrun)

read enriching, cultured things (a book, a story, poetry, prose, etc. — every day, every other day, every few days, every week, it’s your schedule)

regularly challenge yourself, overcome fear and doubt, overcome thoughts that you “can’t” do something, prove to yourself that you can (feel like you can’t do origami? you can. prove it to yourself. feel like you’ll never make a really good no-bake million dollar pie? you can, so prove it to yourself. with doing things that challenge yourself, please be safe and careful and considerate of others)

skincare (examples: washing your face 1-2 times daily, exfoliating 1-2 times a week, using natural things for your skin like applying an avocado mask or rubbing the inside of a banana peel on your face, trying to stick to organic/natural skincare products, using products that don’t have fragrance or silicone or a ton of ingredients, charcoal soap and/or face mask, you can try using a mud/clay mask — like bentonite clay, etc. I also suggest an underarm detoxing mask/cleanse — you can apply activated charcoal powder mixed with a little bit of water, or you can rub lemon on washed underarms, let it sit there for a bit, and then rinse or wash it off)

remember to drink around the amount of water that’s healthy *for you* (so many people who post online say “drink more water!”, “drink a lot of water!” without even knowing readers/viewers personally or their situations, their health, how much they’re already drinking, how much they actually need to drink, etc. some people might not even need to “drink more water”. do what’s healthy for you, drink the amount of water that’s healthy for you — if you’re not sure, maybe do a bit of research/calculations and talk to a practitioner about it)

I plan to add more to this list! again, be safe and careful and considerate of others! thanks for reading, and follow for more!

Simple Self-Care Habits to Improve Well-being

Life can get overwhelming, and it’s easy to overlook self-care when trying to keep up. Sometimes, you only think about yourself once you reach the burnout stage. You can avoid this by adopting daily self-care habits.

1. Choose an activity for the day

You can go for a walk, to the gym, or do some home workouts. Physical activity is helpful for your physical as well as your mental self-care.

2. Hydrate

It is possible to forget to hydrate on busy days. This is a self-care habit that is crucial for your health. A good tip for daily hydration is to carry a labeled water bottle for a reminder.

3. Have dedicated break times

There are times when you bring work home or on your lunch breaks. Refrain from doing this by scheduling break times reserved for rest and not work.

4. Set a good routine & schedule

Without these, you’re more likely to rush throughout the day. Rushing can lead to more stress, which can affect your mental and physical health.

Can you relate?

The Day starts.

You open your eyes, and see this beautiful, sunny light, shining into the room.

It’s beautiful, but the only thoughts that come up in your head are:

„I don’t want to get up yet“ „I’m tired“ „Ugh it’s too bright.“ „I have so much to do today.“

You close your eyes: „Just five more minutes.“

You open them again.

Two hours later.

Your body feels heavy and weak.

„I slept two more hours, how come I still feel like I have no energy?“

As your gaze meets the Window, you see the beautiful blue sky.

You get up. Not because you want to, but because it feels wrong to stay in bed the whole day.

After brushing your teeth, washing your face and combing your hair, you’ll have to decide what you’re going to wear for today. You try on a few outfits but there’s always something that bothers you:

„Im too fat for that!“ „That looks too big on me“ „I’m ugly eitherway“ „I just don’t look good.“

So you just stick to joggers and a T-shirt. Who cares right? It’s not like you’re doing something special today.

You’re going to the kitchen, to make yourself some coffee. You’re brain won’t be awake until you drink your daily cup of coffee in the morning.

After that you sit there on your phone. Answering text messages, emails, and watching funny videos.

You scroll through tumblr and you read:

Can you relate?

The Day starts.

You open your eyes, and see this beautiful, sunny light, shining into the room.

It’s beautiful. And the only thoughts that come up in you’re head are:

„Wow, it’s so nice to wake up to a beautiful sunny day.“ „I’m still a little tired, so let’s start this day calm.“ Give myself the time to fully wake up and start this day.“ I want to do so much today.“

You stretch out your whole body. From your head to the tips of you’re toes.

You get up, open the window and see the beautiful blue sky, the green trees. You take a deep breath in. The smell of the morning is so unique.

After you brushed your teeth, combed your hair, and washed your face, you go pick out a outfit for the day. You try on a few outfits and you take a look in the mirror:

„I’m beautiful.“ „ I am a unique being.“ „There’s only one person that looks like me, and that’s me.“ „ I want to dress up nice, you never know what or where this day brings you to.“

You pick something that makes you feel positive and good about yourself. Something that says: Here I am and I am ready.

You go to the kitchen and you take in two glasses of water. You feel like your body needs it to be able to work properly. You can’t really start your day without it.

You prepare yourself a healthy breakfast. A good amount of fruits and vegetables but also a little bit of proteins and carbs. Just the right combination to give your body all the nutritions it needs.

You do some meditation to let the body absorb and work all the good stuff, the vitamins you took in.

After that you put on some inspirational, positiv music. And you decide how you want to use this day to be productive, to get a little bit closer to your goals.

You do some exercise to warm up your muscles and to get the heart going. This way your body is fully awake and ready to take on anything that crosses your path.

For the first time today you look at your phone. You open Tumblr and you read:

Can you relate?
