Power-Packed Smoothie in Your Diet
Smoothies packed with greens, lentils, and nuts are great substitutes for the dreary morning cereal you’re so bored with. This intensely nutritious meal replacement is in a form that is easily processed by the digestive system, too.
Meditation
This must be part of your daily ritual – a moment to get your bearings. Nothing beats a regular salve for the soul after a stressful day!
Dial a Friend
Or a sibling, a parent, a significant other. Touching base on a regular basis keeps your feet firmly grounded.
Finish Your To-Do List Before Going to Bed
Bed is definitely not the place to plan out your activities for the next day.
Kick Some Ass
Exercising will keep you fit, add years to your life, and produce endorphins – the feel-good hormones.
Drink Red Wine
Drink to a healthier you, but limit it to a glass of red wine in the evenings. Red wine slows down aging and helps prevent depression.
Think Happy Thoughts
It’s not just for Peter Pan; you’ll be better off with positive thoughts. It’s your secret to becoming your own cheerleader and improving your life.
Be the Help That Somebody Needs
Helping others is beneficial to your health, not to mention that the one you helped today might give you the helping hand tomorrow.
Stretch to Relieve Tension
Have you heard about someone getting stressed from sitting? If your work entails sitting in the office, make sure you stretch and flex every thirty minutes or so.
Laugh Daily
Find something to laugh about every day. Life sure has a lot of things to be happy and laugh about, if you only take time to look around.
