10 lifechanging habits

10. Naps: All of us are different, every type of body has its necessities. I, for example, am a very active person, therefore means that my body needs a bit of rest. It has been scientifically proven that 20-30 minute naps can help reduce stress, restore alertness, enhance performance and reduce accidents

9. Meal prep days: If you are like me who is always running around or comes home way to tired and hungry to cook and ends up eating chips and Oreos for lunch, then try meal prepping. This habit will not only save you tons of tie but will also prevent you from binge eating.

8. Snacks: I can’t stress enough the importance of snacks. Growing up, I used to skip breakfast because my stomach couldn’t handle anything, therefore my stomach got used to drinking soda and gummies before lunch. Again, everyone’s bodies function different but starving ourselves until the next big meal isn’t beneficial. Nuts and fruit are a go-to, especially on busy days.

7. Waking up earlier: Yes, I know, maybe you stayed up the night before working on school papers or watching Netflix. Waking up at least 30 minutes ahead of the alarm that you probably will postpone after the first ring will contribute to becoming more productive throughout the day. Becoming a morning person didn’t happen overnight but once you decide to get more stuff accomplished earlier, believe me, Will be worth it!

6. Stretching/yoga: I wake up around 6:30 during weekdays and after brushing y teeth, exfoliating my face and drinking a cup of hot lemon water I make time to stretch my sore muscles which get very tight during sleep. Not only does this help prevent injuries but also boosts energy for activities later in the day. The same happens at night right before bed. Except, before going to sleep I like to relax and take deep breaths. I encourage you to stretch even for 10 minutes every morning. It is something you have to be consistent on, in the end, flexibility and being more healthy comes with it

5. Reading: Did you know that billionaires tend to read 30 minutes every day? Reading helps improve vocabulary and improves brain function. I strongly believe that everyone is or can become a reader, the person hasn’t found the correct book yet. Think of it as something beneficial to your mental health rather than an assignment. Also, remember to not judge a book by its cover, sometimes, the best stories are hidden under monotonous tittles.

4. Journaling: Before bed, I like to write ideas or emotions down while drinking a hot cup of tea by my side. It is always so relaxing, my emotions are poured out and my mental health feels stable. Today could be a rough day but a month fro now, I can look back and learn something from that specific day. We are always changing and reading it and turning back and seeing all of our accomplishments is important. Along with that, every month planning beforehand makes chores more exciting, bullet journaling is for everyone, for creative people or someone who wants to be more organized. Give it a try!

3. Stay hydrated: Our bodies are made up mostly of 70% of water so we might as well drink a lot of it. We lose a lot of electrolytes along with that 70% of water. More clear skin and even weight loss with a healthy meal plan are important for our bodies. Water with electrolytes is beneficial to our bodies after a workout, along with coconut water. Overall, sporty or not, make sure that your body stays hydrated all the time, and try to use a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic one!

2. Stay active: Maybe you want to gain muscle, get slimmer, improve strength or run faster, exercising at least 20 minutes a day is necessary. Make sure to warm up before a workout and stretch afterward to prevent injuries. It doesn’t have to lift weights maybe you like soccer, then go out for a run as often as possible or hold a plank for 1 minute every day. No pain no gain! Make sure to do it for you, because, at the end of the day, you’re the only one responsible for your body, no one else is.

1. Spiritual health: I come from a Christian family who has always encouraged me to love others as God loves us. I read the bible every night before bed and in my bullet journal, write what I am grateful for, even if it was a bad day. My relationship with God has become a lot stronger, yes, there are bad days. Being a Christian doesn’t mean life is a paradise and everything comes easy, honestly, it’s the contrary. Overall, being close to God and feeling his presence, letting him see through my heart and letting him decide what’s best for me even if I disagree makes me feel good. Nobody is perfect, and only he has the right to criticize us is something I recently accepted.

Changes

When you see your reflection in the mirror, are you proud of what you see? Are you proud of the person you currently are or regret changes made? I was talking to someone who I've known for over 3 years now, suddenly she said: "I found a picture of us sitting eating lunch. If we were to retake that picture, it would turn out much different even if we recreated it". At first, it hit by surprise but analyzing it, she's right. All of us have changed in a way or another. In the past maybe you loved pizza with pineapple, now you hate it and in the future, you may love it again. Many people, myself included, are scared of change because it's like walking in an unknown path blindfolded, we’ll be faced with many obstacles. It’s the same with life, we’re currently standing at the starting point of the unknown path, sooner or later we’ll have to start walking blindfolded.

I’ve personally changed tremendously over these past 3 years. Not only has my body changed, but my mentality along with it. When change is necessary, it will happen at the right time, at the right place with the right people. Now we may have 20 friends but we may end up with 10, 5, or even 2. We might love red and end up loving white. We might enjoy traveling but in the future, staying home will be more pleasurable. Today we might not be the best at saving money, a week from now, who knows? Getting out from the “comfort zone” is okay, it’s scary for sure but once we decide to step out of it, things will get easier, or maybe not. The only way to find out is to be brave enough to find out. Change is inevitable, it will happen when it’s least expected and it’s totally okay. Whatever you do, do it for you and you only.
