We are our own priority.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy for us to put our health on the back burner, maybe you're a student, a wife, a business woman, a mom, a caring child, we're always putting someone else first but how do we pour from an empty cup?Prioritising our well-being is essential for living a fulfilling life, it's never been more important than now.
Taking care of our diet.
A well-rounded diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is vital. Aim to limit processed foods and added sugars, yes a cheese burger sounds amazing but ask yourself, is it contributing to my end goal? Remember, at least two litres of water per day.
Work up a sweat, it doesn't have to be at a gym, find a sport you enjoy, there are loads of ways to stay active, at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is required. You will definitely become addicted to that post workout feeling.
Our state of mind.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Practice stress reducing techniques like mindfulness, meditation, or journaling. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family, the ones who actually support you. The trick is to realise how you feel around certain people or places, choose the ones that make you the happiest.
A good nights sleep.
Quality sleep is essential for overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night. Create a calming bedtime routine, limit screen time before bed, and ensure your sleep environment is comfortable., invest in your night routine and anything that's going to improve your quality of sleep.
It all goes hand in hand: prioritising sleep gives us the energy we need to work out, which boosts our mood and supports our mental health, ultimately enhancing our overall well-being.
