There’s no quick fix in wellness. It’s not something that just happens in a day, month, or even a year. Instead, focus on living around wellness; incorporating daily health habits and sticking to them. Wellness should be personal to you, so try as many new approaches as you like. As you continue to try new things, you’ll find what sparks you.
Not sure where to begin? Start with these 5 health tips.
Tip 1: Always Carry A Water Bottle
There are so many reasons to stay hydrated, not only for your body but also your mind. However, sometimes it can be hard to remember to drink more water throughout the day. For all day hydration, consider keeping a large bottle of CORE Hydration in 30.2oz or 44oz always within reach. This also makes keeping track of your water intake simple. Just think about many bottles you need to finish: three, three and a half, four or more.
Tip 2: Morning Meditation
Start your morning with some me-time. Meditating for five minutes is a simple and fast way to enter the day with a clearer mind. Meditation won’t look the same for everybody, so find what’s right for you. That could mean anything from listening to your favorite music or focusing your breath cycles.
Tip 3: Eat Colorful Foods
Live colorfully. Start by building each meal around colorful foods, like a variety of in season fruits and vegetables. Not only will it improve nutritional value it could help you get excited to eat something so bright and cheerful. Next time you’re at the market, bring home your favorite color for lunch.
Tip 4: Take a Social Media Detox
Our lives are surrounded by endless chatter. Every so often, spend a weekend without checking your social media. Or even *gasp* leave your phone at home and go for a neighborhood stroll.
