5 Simple Ways To Manage Your Well-Being This Year
To help you get started with managing your well-being this year, here are some essential suggestions.
1. Exercise Every Day
Your gut is considered your second brain: why not do all you can to take care of it? Getting physical activity is so important! Not only does regular exercise improve your physical form, but it can also regulate digestion and improve mental clarity. By completing brief exercise sessions each day, i.e., (a short walk around your neighborhood, a set of sit-ups, etc.)., you might already notice changes in how you feel.
The more you put in, the more you get out, so make sure you do all you can to prioritize exercise for your overall well-being. The same is true about CPR/first aid training: the more you put in, the more you get out!
2. Destress Using Healthy Outlets
Letting go of stress is integral to lasting health and wellness. Find healthy outlets you can utilize to let go of built-up stress and tension you may have gathered throughout the week. Letting go and de-stressing looks different for everyone. Find the outlets that work for you.
Some enjoy writing in a journal, others participate in group discussions, and some meditate. There are tons of different activities to try for stress reduction and self-care. See what works for you!
3. Get Enough Sleep
Sleep is the foundation of personal health! Without enough sleep, the rest of your health has difficulty keeping up! The amount of sleep and the quality of sleep we get each night mentally, physically, spiritually, and soulfully influence us.
Make your sleep the best it can be by getting enough sleep every night. Upgrade your bedding, eliminate smartphone use two hours before bed, and drift off to sleep with a podcast. Get your sleep game going strong for the best outcomes.
4. Limit Your Caffeine
There is debate over whether caffeine is good or bad. The truth is that it is mixed! What is known is that limiting your caffeine intake (over time, not cold turkey!) can drastically improve your quality of sleep, reduce your stress levels, and, surprisingly enough, increase your energy levels throughout the day.
Too much caffeine stresses the adrenal glands and can wreak havoc on your stress hormones. All of this stress interferes with well-being. With your doctor’s permission, gradually limit your caffeine and see if you notice a difference!
5. Get Enough Sunlight
Getting enough sunlight is also critical for good health. Your vitamin D levels decrease with lack of sunlight exposure, and this can cause issues with your mood and how you feel physically. So to keep depressive feelings at bay, get enough sunlight!
Lift your mood and spirits with the proper sunlight each day. If you live somewhere with less sun, figure out the times of day where the sun is most present and go outside then! You might also consider taking vitamin D supplements if your doctor is on-board. Getting lab work done to determine your needs is another way to determine if you are deficient in this vitamin.
