100 HEALTHY HABITS TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

Have a morning routine.

A morning routine will help you get your day started on a positive note, and it will help you wake up at the same time every day if that’s something you struggle with.

Introduce affirmations.

The way you speak about yourself matters the most for your mindset. Here are 50 affirmations you can choose from each morning.

Have an evening routine.

Similarly to a morning routine, having a night routine can end your day on a relaxing and positive note. No more falling asleep on the couch in your makeup!

Drink more water.

Water is important, we all know it. So drink up. If you hate the taste of water, you can get flavored drops like this one to make it taste like juice.

Practice meditation.

A clear mind can do wonders for your health and mindset. Even 5 minutes of meditating every day can have a huge impact on you.

Walk for 30 minutes every day.

Walking is the easiest form of exercise and a super effective one at that. Put on your kicks and get moving.

Stretch after every few hours.

This is especially important if you work at a desk.

Take a 10-minute break after every hour of work.

You need to recharge your batteries, and 10 minutes is sometimes all that is needed to do so. Remember to also take longer breaks every couple of hours.

Journal.

Journaling is an amazing way to get to know yourself better, work on your mindset, and let things go. Here are 50 journaling prompts for personal development you should try.

Invest in blue-light glasses.

The blue light coming from screens has the ability to possibly damage your eyesight in the long run. Protecting your eyes from blue light can be done using blue light blocking glasses.

Their frames are super cute too, which is a plus, so you can be stylish while protecting your eyes at the same time. Sojos Vision has kindly given my audience a discount code which you can use on all their frames.

Get up early.

The early bird really does get the worm. Or the freshly baked bread at the bakery, if that’s more your style.

Here is a post on how to wake up earlier if that’s what you want to work on.

Read more.

Reading is an incredibly useful pastime to take on. Need some reading material ideas? Here are 6 of my favorite books.

Listen to podcasts.

Podcasts are great to listen to in the car or during a workout. They provide a ton of free value and entertainment. Here are 15 podcasts you should try listening to.

Have a skincare routine in place.

Skincare is so important. There are a ton of good products on the market, so do your research and stick to a routine for a few months. I’m sure you’ll see an amazing change in your skin.

Keep learning.

You are never too old to learn. Pick up a book, start a new course, or even sign up for a class in something that interests you.

Set goals for all areas of life.

Without a goal, you aren’t really working towards anything. Here is a post on how you can reach your goals.

Try something you are afraid of every month.

You cannot be happy if you’re afraid. It’s good to face your fears every once in a while. You never know, you might get to love the thing that scared you for so long!

Try a new vegetable/fruit every month.

Take a chance and try out new fruits and vegetables more often. You might find one you absolutely love!

Mix with new cultures.

All cultures are beautiful in their own way, and you can learn so much about different cultures by being around people from different walks of life.

Go to bed at a reasonable hour.

If you’re having trouble sleeping early, you might also have trouble waking up early and focusing at school/work. Try to go to bed a few minutes earlier every night until you’re able to fall asleep at an hour that works for you.

No electronics 1 hour before bed.

Pick up a book instead!

Practice mindfulness in all areas of life.

Make to-do lists.

Or any other kinds of lists. Here are 9 more lists you can make to stay organized.

Plan out your month.

This will help you get a better understanding of what your month ahead will look like. I especially recommend it for those of you who work or are in school. We all know there is always something you can forget about unless it’s penciled in.

Write it down, you will forget it.

Don’t rely on your memory. It often fails.

Budget, budget, budget. You never know what might happen, so it’s important to stay below your means in order to save and invest more.

Start with $100, then work it up to $1000. You will thank yourself if you ever need it.

Take vitamins regularly.

Always check with your doctor before starting any new supplements, but generally speaking, most of us need the extra help of store-bought vitamins.

Go to your medical checkups.

And be honest with your doctors. Trust me, you won’t tell them anything they’ve not heard before.

No more following accounts that bring you down. Get rid of them, and replace them with positive accounts.

Make time for your loved ones.

Your work will always be there waiting for you.
