Reading the title of this article, don’t think we’re going to introduce you to the magicsomething that will make you a lot healthier than you are right now. We can all bring changes in life, the good ones, but only if we really want to. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe most of what we do each day in our lives is nothing but habits? Habits can be negative and positive. The trick is to recognize and create good habits and make it a daily ritual for us to live healthy and happy. Here’s a list of some habits that you can embrace to strengthen your resolve to live a fulfilled, happier life. You can read first and thank us later (smiles).
1. Don’t Eat To Lose Weight. Eat For A Healthier Body And Mind

It’s a trend these days to be health conscious, which is a good thing. Eating to slim out your body is okay. But eating in a way that’s robbing of your body of the vital nutrients is not okay. Don’t chase zero-figure diets, instead, chase nutrition. Stop eating fast food first. Eat three big meals every day and at least two to three small meals in between. Eat slowly. You don’t have to spend an hour in the gym and reserve just ten minutes to eat your breakfast. Take at least 20-30 minutes to slowly chew and break down the food that you’re eating. Eating quickly can also lead to over-consumption of food, which nullifies your hard work at the gym.
2. Practice Meditation

The sanity of the brain is all you need to be able to make the right choices regarding your health. And, the best way to pamper your brain is to practice meditation for at least 15-20 minutes daily. It will help boost your brain power, concentration, stamina, and positivity in your body.
3. Learn To Honor The Emotions You Feel

Let your life be an open book. If you feel happy, sad, disturbed or psyched, learn to express it. The more you curb the emotions you’re facing, the more stressed your mind will become. And without giving you a warning, it can explode like a bomb, hurting your near and dear ones. Irrespective of whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, just remember to sync with your emotional vibes.
4. Appreciate And Love Yourself

This point can be considered as the golden rule of well being, trust us! Put a stop to procrastinating this very moment and begin to love all the things that bring a smile on your face. If you’ve accomplished something, treat and pamper yourself. This is the vital start to being healthy.
5. Declutter Your Personal Space Once In A While

Every single day we meet so many people, we learn so many new things. Some of them can be helpful, and some of them can spark the toxic flame that consumes us. Therefore, at least once a week, declutter your life — it could be in your room, your house, your heart and mind. Keep your surroundings clean and throw away anything that is unnecessary. Similarly, if some certain thoughts or talks have been lingering in your mind, write them down or talk about them to a close friend and free them. It’s very vital to maintain a clean aura around you.
6. Eat A Fruit Everyday

The best way to pamper your body is with fruits. Keep track of seasonal fruits and relish them. Make it a habit to eat a fruit every day, it’s the cleanest way to eat. It keeps your body hydrated and solves all the body heat problems that otherwise arise. Also, smear some on your face to enjoy the skin benefits (winks).
7. Configure A Daytime And NightTime Skincare Routine For Yourself

No matter how moody you wake up or how tired you get at the end of the day, follow a skincare routine. Pampering your skin with all the essentials is the best way to let your body relax because it’s your skin that has faced the pollution outside. Therefore, apply frequent face masks, cleanse-scrub-moisturize, and drink lots of water to make your skin feel and look beautiful.
See, it’s all in our hands. It’s only we who can bring a healthy change for our body and mind. Learn to socialize and spread the positivity once you’ve started feeling it. And, the only way you can follow healthy habits is by understanding and acknowledging the amount of joy you’ll receive in every single healthy habit. Happy living, dear women!
