Small Changes = Big Benefits

I have always heard growing up that it’s the small things that make the big differences in life. For example, if you spend a little bit of time on your tennis swing each day, you will eventually perfect it. The same things go with healthy; if you do little things to maintain for your health then it will have a huge benefit in the long run. This came up as I was reading an article this morning on Yahoo! It was listing small changes you should make to help your health. Below are some of the little things I do to maintain my health:
- I eat every 2-3 hours so that my metabolism doesn’t crash.
- I spend 30 minutes to 1 hour a day with no phone. I read, journal or meditate.
- I had my Vitamin D levels checked. And turns out I didn’t have enough so my doctor prescribed me Vitamin D.
- Stay hydrated. Drink 48-64 ounces of water a day.
- Give yourself a compliment. Positive affirmations are a great way to boost self esteem.
These changes have not only made me physically healthier, but I feel mentally better as well. I think through the hustle and bustle of life we forget one of the most important things which is to take care of ourselves. What other changes do you recommend making?
