Living life to the fullest means cultivating good habits that help us become healthier. A healthy person is a happy person. Here are some healthy habits that are worth weaving into your old daily pattern:
1. Take time to walk, run, or jump for fifteen to twenty minutes each day. It is best to do it first thing in the morning to give your joints, muscles, and brain the needed warm-up for the coming day ahead that is full of physical and mental exertion.
2. Eat foods that are low in fat like fruits, vegetables, and grains. You also need to have a regular intake of the recommended amount of protein that your body needs everyday, such as from eggs or a little meat mixed in your veggies. Sweets are really tempting and having them every once in a while won’t hurt but you should avoid them as much as possible. Have fruits instead for your sweets.
3. Take care of your skin. The largest organ of your body is also one of the most important. Make it a habit to protect it from climactic toxins, apply sunblock cream on the areas that are more exposed to the sun like your arms, neck, and face. You also can use fruit juice to maintain the smoothness of your skin (especially the face). You can mix a small amount lemon juice in the water that you use to wash your face and arms. Fruit juice help keep the pores of your skin healthy.
4. Take time to meditate. Your soul needs at least five minutes of quiet time each day. Meditation should not be something that is taxing on your mind. Meditation means putting your mind to something that relaxes it. It is what others call “daydreaming”.
5. Raise your level of consciousness, and discover the things that inspire and motivate you. Your soul needs food, too, so take time to enjoy art, a good book, a home video, or anything that could help you find your spiritual self. You can do this at night after work, with your family.
6. The last but the most important: take time to show your love to the people you love. It could be your wife, kids, or friends. Love can be shown in little ways, it could be through not failing to kiss your wife and children before going to work each day.
