Stress Management
Everyone stresses about something. How do you feel? Mentally drained, exhausted, sad, depressed, and maybe even angry? We know our stress points and what triggers them. Practice channeling that energy elsewhere to control your stress levels. Some examples are mindfulness meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. These tips can help improve your wellness. The title itself states the word steps. Take one action, one task, one day at a time, and the rest follows.
Exercise
Many think training is going to a gym and getting jacked. I know it can be scary and intimidating. Practice is not just going to a gym. Movement is getting your body to engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily. Exercising can be fun. Find something you enjoy doing. Some examples of how: Yoga, bike riding, jogging, walking, swimming, playing sports, and even dancing. Move to the rhythm, or if you are like me, shake your bottom even if you can’t. Just have fun.
Healthy Diet
Let me start by saying I am not telling you to cut everything out simultaneously. However, avoid sugary drinks, many people believe sports drinks and juices are good for you, but they are not. If you want to drink fluids, just read the ingredients. Stay away from added sugars and high fructose syrups. We all know soda is not suitable for you. Diet this zero that none of it is good for you. Add plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to your diet. Avoid processed and fried foods.
Sleep
Some of us have a hard time with rest. Overthinking, highly stressed, or can’t sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to improve mood and cognitive function. Performing exercises and improving your diet can improve your sleep patterns.
Hydration
Our bodies require high-quality H2O. Bobby Boucher has been telling us the importance of H2O for years. Therefore, drink your H2O. Men, we should drink a lot of water, but the exact number is 3.7 liters (15.5 cups). You should drink 2.7 liters (11.5 cups) for the ladies. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall health and improve skin, digestion, and energy levels.
