One of the most important life lessons I’ve learned thus far is that lasting change happens when you alter your DAILY routine in some capacity. Your daily routine speaks volumes about your overall lifestyle – it tells a story about what is important to you, what you choose to make time for, and how you decide to live your life. These simple actions that you do every single day become a part of who you are.
Do you feel like the things you choose to do (or not do) every day are allowing you to live your best life? Think: the food you eat, the thoughts you think, the activities you partake in, and your sleep patterns and work routines? Sometimes we slowly begin to realize that what we are doing every day isn’t serving us in some capacity. So, if you can begin to positively change aspects of your daily routine (i.e., switching out unhelpful, counter-productive habits with health focused, positive habits) your mind and body will reap the benefits and you will experience lasting change.
Here is a list of 10 health-focused things I do every single day that have become my daily habits. They have made a tremendous difference in my: stress levels, exhaustion, happiness, and overall wellness.
1. Eat Breakfast Within 1 Hour of Waking Up
Think: Lean Protein, Fresh Fruit, Healthy Fats, and Whole Grains
2. Spend 10 Minutes on Stress Reducing Techniques
Think: Journaling, Nature Walk or 10 Minute Meditation
3. Prioritize Healthy Eating
Think: Plan Ahead – Limit Processed Foods and Fuel On Nutritionally Dense Ones (for more on my tips on healthy eating, click here
4. Check Off Your 3-5 ‘To-Do’s’
Think: Avoid Feeling Overwhelmed by Making a Short ‘Must Accomplish’ List for the Day
5. Set Up A Workplace For Success
Think: Listen to Music and Let In Natural Light
6. Get Fresh Air
Think: Be Deliberate About Making Time to Spend Outdoors
7. Thank Someone
Think: Take a Moment to Notice and Appreciate Someone Else
8. Move Your Body
Think: Make Time To Exercise (Focus On Quality Rather Than Quantity – Especially on Busy Days)
9. Unplug & Be Present
Think: Schedule in 1 Hour to be Electronic Free
10. Moments of Gratitude
Think: First Thought In The Morning and Last Thought Before Bed – Reflect & Find Gratitude (For More Tips on Finding Gratitude, click here.)

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m
having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m
looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I
had to ask!
You really make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be actually one thing that
I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very extensive for me.
I am looking ahead in your subsequent publish, I’ll attempt
to get the hold of it!

Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted
to say that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog
posts. After all I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!
First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if
you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and
clear your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
recommendations or tips? Cheers!
I was curious if you ever thought of changing
the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love
what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your weblog.
You have some really good posts and I believe I
would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load
off, I’d absolutely love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
Please shoot me an email if interested. Thank you!
What lovely reminders! I’m pretty good at some of these, but I could definitely be more intentional about the rest. I’m sure it would make a difference in my day and those I share my day with.
Hi Karen!! Absolutely… and sometimes it’s also important to remind ourselves that we don’t need to get it right ALL of the time. We aren’t perfect. As long as we are putting in an effort to take care of ourselves, that’s really what matters!
