With Fall around the corner, now more than ever is the perfect time to boost your physical and emotional well-being before the crazy holidays! These days, it may seem like there’s not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything we need to, let alone take care of ourselves and give us that self-love we deserve. But, taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to be difficult nor that time consuming and DASHA® is here to help.
Plan Your Day: When it comes to having a productive day, it’s all about how well you plan it. Planning your day, allows you to get as much as you can done, which is certain to make you happier. I know when I get up just a few minutes earlier than usual, write a to-do list of all the tasks I need to accomplish that day, I’m more likely to do so then if I would have let myself get those extra minutes of shut eye. (There’s just something about crossing things off a list)
Stay Active: Not only is it important to keep your mind busy at work, it’s super important to keep your body busy too! People mistake being active for having to go to the gym and doing a killer workout, while that may be true for my fellow gym lovers, that isn’t the only way! The key is finding something you love and enjoy, that way you are consistent and stick to it. Whether it’s going for a walk or simply just taking the stairs, everyone’s idea of active is different and it’s important to find out what works for you!
Eat Nutritious Foods: Putting healthy foods in your body is essential for your physical and emotional well-being. Ever heard of the saying “Look good, feel good?” It’s the truth! Having a whole balanced diet provides our bodies with energy, protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals to grow and live a long happy life.
Start a Gratitude Journal: One thing to consider doing for a better mental state of mind is creating a gratitude journal. Having one enables you to stay positive and may help during some of the harder times of life. Writing down both little and big things you’re grateful for each day will be helpful for maintaining a better frame of mind.
Surround Yourself with Positivity: They say, the people whom you spend the most time with you will become like them. In order to live a happy and fulfilled life, it’s so important to surround yourself with people who believe in you, lift you up and push you to be the best version of yourself.
