5 Habits for Your Everyday Routine for a Healthier Lifestyle

Need to adopt healthier habits for your daily lifestyle? Here are 5 habits you can implement in your daily routine! I can truly say these habits helped me with my own journey to a healthier and happier lifestyle. Let's dive in!

1. Take a moment to journal your thoughts. We all know how crazy life can be, but I found that even just taking 5 minutes of your day can make a difference! I learned that writing your thoughts on paper can help you gather your feelings, dreams, and ideas!
   

2. Look into healthy diets and fasts that work for you.  When I tell you that fasting and watching my calories made a difference in how I felt and my appearance, I mean it! For only two months, I have been on a 12-hour fasting diet, and it has made me feel so much healthier and energetic! Taking the time out of your day to make sure you are holding yourself accountable for a healthy lifestyle change is so rewarding. So if you're looking into having more energy and being productive, I advise finding a diet that works for you!
   

3. Drink your water! I honestly didn't think staying hydrated was so important until a couple of weeks ago, when I felt the effects of not drinking my daily intake as I should. I used the excuse that I could just catch up with drinking water later in the day and never did. After a couple of days of drinking only 1/3 of my recommended daily water intake, I felt drained and exhausted! I had to put in twice as much effort into my daily tasks, which became exhausting. It took me a whole week to recover! I easily learned that drinking water consistently is just as important as any other diet.
   

4. Set healthy goals for yourself. If you're anything like me, you can easily overextend yourself with various types of goals. Maybe you're not! But from experience, I learned that giving yourself multiple goals at once can bring burnout and exhaustion! Life can get stressful, but it doesn't have to be more stressful with daunting goals. So the goal is to set healthy goals for yourself within a healthy time period. That, of course, doesn't mean it can't be challenging anymore; it just gives you the opportunity to give your goals the attention they need.
   

5. Confide in God: I can't tell you how many times talking to God has helped me in stressful situations! When I speak to him, all of my worries and fears just fade away. So if you find yourself worrying about your future, just take it to God! You may not get an instant answer, but just know that your prayers and faith can make a significant change in your prayer life.

These are just a couple of ways you can begin your journey towards a healthier lifestyle! Practicing these lifestyle habits may be challenging in the beginning, but don't give up! If you stay consistent, these habits will gradually become a part of your routine. I hope this helps you with your journey! Thank you for reading :)
