New Year, New You: Exercise Self-Care and –Love for 2019

January 10, 2019

Forget about only focusing on weight loss for the new year. 2019 is the year for self-care and self-love. If you find yourself unbalanced and being pulled and twisted from all directions, it’s time to take a step back and give yourself the attention that you deserve. Once you begin to make yourself feel better, decisions that you make going forward may come easier as you begin to realize what the right path for your life is. Keep reading to see some steps we plan on taking to achieve a more balanced lifestyle going forward.

Sleep

Sleep, sleep, and more sleep. We are lacking sleep because…we work too much…we have kids…we watch too many YouTube videos…we [insert pretty much anything right here]. By giving your body more rest, you will have much more clarity and be a more pleasant person to be around in general. How do we plan on doing this? If we create a better environment to doze off in, we will be more inclined to shut our eyes for the night.

Treat Yourself

We’re not saying to go out and buy a brand new car or anything, BUT we are saying that it’s OK to treat yourself to something nice once in a while. Sometimes we get so wrapped up worrying about bills and money that we forget to have fun. Go out and enjoy a movie with some popcorn or buy something that will last you a while like a new makeup product or body lotion. A nice perfume would be a great way to make you feel a bit luxurious every day as well.

Eat Right

It’s pretty amazing how the food you eat can impact everything from your mood to brain function. Try to stay away from fast food and unhealthy vending machines when possible. If you find yourself craving snacks a lot, be sure to always have an option available in your bag, at your desk and in your kitchen so that you don’t go reaching for a bag of greasy potato chips or a doughnut.
