Life is not easy every day! One can quickly be swept away in a depressive atmosphere between job, home, and the tiny unexpected inconveniences. Here is a list of ten ( 10) healthy practices to follow to help your daily life to fix this.
1. Going to bed early
As a night owl, give up your job. It is necessary to have
proper sleep hygiene for your health. Six to eight hours of sleep a night is
sufficient for an adult. Going to bed early would make it easier to relax the
body. Your brain would now be able to assimilate the day's data and therefore
reprogram itself. Sleeping late, on the other hand, facilitates dark circles,
cognitive challenges (learning, focusing ...), drowsiness, heightened tension.
Finally, the first step for our well-being is to go to bed. To us who go to bed early, the future still belongs.
2. Get up early
If you think late mornings are the perfect time for your
weekends, you're likely to be surprised by the following. Too much sleep has
proved to be detrimental to our wellbeing. It is not me who tells that, nor the
American Heart Association's research journal Journal. Sleeping more than eight
hours a day raises the likelihood of early death, according to a scientific
study.
Waking up early, on a more optimistic note, helps you to
make time for yourself. Thus, to follow some of the healthy lifestyle practices
that are on our list, you can have one or two hours of free time.
3. Learn deep respiration
Everything is so nice and peaceful early in the morning
that you want to go back to bed. Oh, no! The best time to initiate a regimen of
deep breathing is now. On our list of healthy practices, deep breathing has its
place. It helps, too, to secrete dopamine and serotonin (the happiness
hormones!).
Find a quiet corner, position yourself comfortably, put
your hand on your stomach, and relax. There's no reason to close your legs,
just be aware of your abdomen's movement. Breathe slowly for five to ten
minutes, without dragging yourself into meditation.
4. Build a Playlist for the Morning
It is a must in the routine of well-being that has its
place in our healthy habits list! Indeed, music decreases stress and anxiety
owing to its calming effect, encouraging strong memory and cognitive functions.
A morning playlist will give you the pzazz that you need to start and spend the
day in a positive mood, whether you want a smooth wake-up call to jazz or
kick-off to a crazy rhythm.
5. Listen to a podcast for inspiration
There are quite popular motivational podcasts and we can
see why. Indeed, when you have a bad day, they are a strong source of
inspiration and can act as a reminder. Enough on our list of good behaviors to
give them a shot. For a daily dose of positivity, take the moment, at every
moment of the day.
6. Establish your day time
This little tip is a great way for you to find yourself
alone. Make sure to build a little one-on-one moment of privilege for yourself,
as taxing as your schedule is. You should arrange it however you like, free of
charge. "Set up a" coffee-music "moment, for example. It's all
about setting the time of day, finding a little space, then pouring in a hot
cup of coffee, getting relaxed, and playing a song that makes you feel happy.
7. Get a plan for the evening
It can be as easy and act as taking the time to wash your
hands, take a long shower, dip in a hot water, etc. Moreover, an evening ritual
can be very soothing and symbolic: water brings all the stressful moments of
the day with it when washing the hands. It's a ritual after work that would do
the most good for you.
8. Discover a task
We all have a passion for an activity which makes it
possible for us to be at peace with ourselves. Join the chorus of your neighborhood, take classes of theatre, learn to play an instrument, form a
band, volunteer in an animal shelter, for example ... This will allow you to
let go and free yourself.
9. Reading
There's blogging, in addition to our rating of healthy
practices for your well-being. Writing is also a very good way to let go of
your thoughts throughout the day. Whenever you find the urge, take the time to confide
in a diary, or follow the habit of writing meaningful affirmations or
quotations in a little notebook.
10. Set a screen curfew
The very last one on our list of healthy habits is very relevant if you're going to adhere to the first habit on our list. This is because the screens have taken such a role in our everyday lives that we sometimes forget they are not necessarily a source of well-being. To prefer times alone, with relatives or merely for a good night's sleep, set up a "curfew" for the screens. For example, from 9 p.m., turn off everything except the phone (stay reachable). For the latter, you can just turn off the wifi.
