How To Have A Fresh And Healthy Lifestyle

How To Have A Fresh And Healthy Lifestyle

 Enjoy ♥

1. Inspire Yourself ❁

Inspiring yourself is more than just reading a few tumblr quotes or finding things that make you happy. Motivate yourself by taking the little steps to make you a better person. One of my favourites is keeping a running list of what makes you smile! Writing this stuff down can make you feel empowered and ready for any challenge. You can also just take 20 seconds out of your morning to think about what you want to achieve today and how you're going to do it. When you go to sleep, reflect and see if you got a little bit closer to reaching your goal.

2. Make Yourself Organised 🗝

I know that when people here this one they brush it off without truly considering it because it takes such a massive amount of effort. But it really does help!

Cleaning your room, desk or house will clear your mind and give you a clean view of your priorities and goals. Getting rid of the things that distract you limits the interruptions and excuses from you not getting any task done.

The first step to start being organised is to make a to-do list. When you find things you need done, adding it to the list and having the strong desire to check it off can motivate you to get it done.

You can also create a place in your room or house where you’ll always put your keys, wallet, pocket change, books and binder or folder you need for school or class, and anything else you always want to have with you.

Make a habit of putting your things there as soon as you come home, and picking them up from there as you leave.

3. Treat Yourself Once A Week ♡

Yes, you heard me... TREAT YOURSELF!! Making yourself relaxed and soothed is super super important! Whether it's soaking in the bathtub - where you can use some bath bombs, salts or oils: and don't forget the bubbles and scented candles you can use while your in there!

Drinking a steaming hot chocolate Or any other drink you adore, can also help you de-stress!

Some other ways to treat your self includes reading a book; a way you can fill your mind with imagination by entering a different world. You can also try a face mask! This is literally one if my favorite things to do, you can try some really cool ones you can get at Sephora or any skincare store.

One of the most challenging yet refreshing ones is to apply for a yoga class! Haha, I personally been wanting to try this one out for myself lol! Stretching your body not only strengthens it but also makes you nice and fresh.

Last but definitely not least.... give into your sweet tooth! This is one that I enjoy the most ;) Buying your favorite candies once in a while lets you feel like you have something you can look forward too! I would recommend eating lollies after doing something good like studying for an hour or doing chores around the house, if you don't already. Doing these things are always really beneficial not only to your mental health but also physical when you are more energized.

4. Random Acts Of Kindness (RAK) ♕

So, basically RAK is where you spend just a few second out of your day to do something thoughtful for somebody else.

It can be something as simple as smiling at them and even giving them a compliment like saying how much you like their hairstyle or outfit.

Doing things like sharing a piece of gum, lending a necklace, even offering if they would like to sit with you at lunch can make their day.

Ones that I find really make a difference is taking at least 5 minutes to send a postcard or letter to a sick child who is suffering from a serious disease or sickness and could really use a piece of encouragement and motivation.

And, saving my favorite one for last, establish a... CUPCAKE DAY! Ok, so I know this sounds totally crazy and it sounds like I've lost my mind but the idea is that once or twice a week on a particular day one person from your group brings in a tray of cupcakes! So, I know it's a pretty stupid idea when you hear it but you could do one for each of your closest friends, decorating them with icing that shows their personality. An example would be if they're really optimistic you could decorate it with bright and sunny colors like orange and yellow. Or if they're really into... let's say, Harry Potter you could decorate their cupcake icing a wand into their cupcake.

I think this is a good idea because it would show how much you appreciate your friends and how grateful you are to have them :)

5. Keep Yourself Clean And Refreshed ❤︎

Keeping yourself clean and refreshed is a major key point to have a healthy lifestyle.

Being clean doesn't necessarily always mean using the harshest cleanser possible. Use a soap that's good for your skin type and doesn't dry it out too much. Choose a body wash or bar soap that's gentle enough for everyday use. Particularly one that smells really good! c:

While taking a shower most days is recommended, you may want to wash your hair less often. Washing your hair every day can dry it out and ultimately damage it, since it strips your hair's natural oils. To stay fresh on the days when you don't wash your hair, consider using a little dry shampoo. It's a powder that absorbs oil and makes your hair look absolutely amazing!

A really good tip that I use is that before you go to sleep, braid your hair into a plait/plaits. Once you wake up your hair will be curly, shiny and smooth (once you brush it) and look just that little bit better!

6. Exercise ☪︎

Yes! Exercising can mean doing a light run around your block or working out at the gym, or doing push-ups till you feel exhausted! When you are working out, if it's for getting the perfect body or simply for fun, exercising is the perfect way to get healthy.

Light easy exercises include: cycling - ride your bike around your neighborhood! It gets your leg muscles moving and boosts up your energy. Cycling is something that is easy to do and you don't even need to buy any equipment! (that is, assuming you already have a bike lol). Next is swimming - ditch your phone or laptop and get into a pool! Just doing a few laps in a pool has many benefits as it strengthens your shoulders and improves your lung function. Lucky last is hiking! Taking a bush walk gives you the beautiful view of nature and lets you take a break from social media and the internet.

7. Draw Or Paint Something! ☯︎

If you find you have a hobby in drawing and painting, go ahead! Draw until your hand hurts! Paint until you run out of colors!

When you draw/paint you express your feelings and let out all of your emotions leaving you feeling free and with a clear headspace.
