25 Simple things you can do everyday to stay fit and healthy
Do you have a really busy life and can't incorporate exercise/sports/healthy habits into your life cause you simply don't have enough time to do so? Well, I've got u with this list of 25 simple things you can do to stay fit and healthy which you can easily incorporate into your busy schedule and everyday life + even though these are really small changes, they give a huge boost to your mood.
Take the stairs rather than the lift
Walk or cycle instead of taking a cab
Drink plenty of water throughout the day
Get 7-9 hours of sleep daily
Exercise everyday wether its doing a small 5 min workout or walking 10k steps
Eat your fruits!!
Portion control - like instead of eating a whole chocolate every day, eat a piece of it - this helps satisfy your cravings without feeling too guilty about it
Avoid sugary drinks or sodas - opt for water, cold pressed juices, teas or coconut water instead!
Keep healthy snacks at hand so that you reach for those first
Stretch every morning/evening
Limit your screen time
Practice meditation to reduce stress
Swap out refined grains for whole grains - like brown rice or oats
Engage in activities that make you happy to reduce stress (like hobbies or socialising)
Set daily or weekly fitness goals and track your progress
Avoid late-night eating
Get outside in nature for some fresh air and vitamin D
Walk while talking on the phone
Use the 10-minute rule – when you’re short on time, commit to just 10 minutes of movement
Use the 5-2 rule for meals – for 5 days, focus on balanced meals, and for 2 days, allow yourself a treat
Start off your day with a healthy breakfast - I like smoothies, oats, sourdough bread with some kind of spread,
Take the long way around – if you're walking, take a longer route to your destination to add more steps
Add chia seeds to your meals - I love putting it in my water, oats, and smoothies
Keep your water bottle nearby - having it in your line of sight encourages you to drink more water throughout the day
Try a morning gratitude practice – starting your day with a positive mindset can reduce stress and improve mental well-being
My favourite season is spring, like I love the weather, the flora and just the happy, gorgeous and chill yet energetic vibe it gives. I am usually at a great place during spring, like, I consistently exercise, I eat healthy, I'm productive, I smile more and I just glow cause it's just my season. So, maybe you haven't reached your spring peak yet, and thats okay, cause I'm here too help you feel your best and own it. <3
Romanticize it.
Girl, look around you, aren't the flowers gorgeous, isn't the weather just so pleasant. Take a breath of fresh air. Why on earth would u endlessly scroll through insta when you can embrace this and actually do things. You know, doing nothing actually makes you feel more tired and guilty so get off your bed and take a walk, or do pilates, try photography, anything really - as long as it isn't a waste of time. Like there is only 3 months of this peace, no way your going to waste it. Have your main character moments like your hot girl walks and cute cafe study sessions. And think of it this way, summers soon and you wanna be looking and feeling your best so now it the time to step up your game and be the most productive version of yourself.
Create your ideal spring you.
Decide who you want to be this season. Create a vision of the kind of girl you want to embody this spring. Consider appearance, activities, mood, routine and mindset & priorities. In fact you can take out your notebook and write it down or even make a vision board.
Appearance:
-> What hairstyles does she do?
-> What kind of clothes does she wear?
-> Does she wear make up? What style?
Activities:
-> What physical activities does she do?
-> What mental activities does she do?
-> What creative activities does she do?
-> What social activities does she do?
I have a post on 50 Productive habits/things to do which can help with this
Routine:
-> What time does she wake up?
-> What time does she go to bed?
-> How often does she exercise?
-> How long does she study for?
-> What kinds of food does she eat?
Mood:
-> What energy does she exude/bring into a room?
-> How does she treat herself and others?
-> How does she make herself and others feel?
Mindset and Priorities:
-> What are her goals?
-> What are her boundaries?
-> What are the things she does on a daily basis no matter what?
Remove and let go
Literally spring clean your life (pun intended). Like clean up all the dusty self doubts and comparisons and throw out the people who drain your energy, I like to call them 'energy vampires' and wipe off all those unhealthy habits.
Be productive
When your being productive, even though your doing more things, you feel more energetic. This is because productivity creates a sense of accomplishment and momentum which naturally boots your energy. When your productive your going to live this season to its fullest and look back and think of how great a time it was.
When you get things done, your brain releases dopamine, which is a chemical that makes you feel more motivated and energised.
Being productive can can put you in a "flow state," which is when you're deeply focused while enjoying the process.
Procrastination and unfinished tasks bring in stress and mental exhaustion. When you're productive, you clear that mental clutter, making you feel lighter and more energetic.
Swap "waiting" with "doing"
This connects to the productivity part. Sometimes being productive can be hard. I recently watched this Ted Talk, I think it was on how procrastination works, but it explains how procrastination is like a monkey, who just does what it wants to do without a care in the world until deadlines, its greatest fear, enters the room causing it to stress out and end up doing what it was supposed to do. Procrastination causes stress, it is so much better to just get things done, which may see hard to do, but its actually pretty easy. Some ways I deal with procrastination are:
-> The 3, 2, 1 rule
Whenever you have to do sometime and you just want to continue lying down or scrolling or sleeping, etc, just mentally count 3, 2, 1, and immediately get up. This method works so well, especially when your alarm rings and you don't wanna get out of bed or when you don't want to switch of the TV and get your work done
-> Reward yourself
A good example of is actually what I did today. I needed to get my steps in but I had had a very long day of school and was exhausted. I motivated myself to go for the walk by deciding to have a 1.5 hour walk to a mall so that I could window shop and grab a snack after. This helped motivate me to get up and go for the walk. So basically, to motivate you to do things, reward yourself with things that you find fun and makes you happy after you complete what you're supposed to do, wether its getting matcha after you study or going for a long walk but it is to a mall so you get to window shop.
Soo, you want to be the most productive, interesting and fun version of yourself but you have no idea how to spend your time well, I feel you. Which is why I have created this list of 50 productive habits/things to do + most of these you can do at home so no more "I don't have anything to do". They say you need 4 different habits - a physical one, a mental one, a creative one and a social one - so this list is organised that way so that you can easily chose one from each category and level up your life!

thank you angel @porcelanitaa !! ♡ 💭🎀🐈⬛️ judging from ur characters, (the only one of which i know being mitsuba), i can assume that you're a very kind person ♡ but you often, whether consciously or subconsciously, put up walls to hide yourself from others. you cope by turning your pain to beauty through art and you often feel forgotten or left behind, despite your brilliance. also i will never forget or leave u behind .just so u know ♡
