The New Year! It feels like a new beginning, fresh start, a chance to make things better. Well, thats what you hear, and maybe feel. But I do think its a great time to re-think your priorities, what changes could you make to make 2023 your year?
Here are some great ideas to help maximize your You for the New Year!
- Waking up at 5am.
Waking up early means you are already ahead. This gives you more time to:
-
Workout (you know my number 1 choice!)
-
Plan your day
-
Be more productive
It’s a huge life hack and gives you more time to achieve your goals.
- Writing down your thoughts before bed.
Writing before bed will imrove your quality of sleep. Here’s what you can write down:
-
Your goals for tomorrw
-
What you are grateful for
-
Any negative thoughts
This will improve your mental health dramatically.
- Spend 1 hour a day exercising (ok, you were expecting this one right??)
To have a good mental health, you have to also have good physical health.
Think outside the box, yes, I would love to have you in class, but consider:
-
Running
-
Swimming
-
Lifting weights
These all will strengthen and tone your body.
- Sit in silence 10 minutes a day
Your mind is racing with hundreds of thoughts every minute.
Take 10 to:
*meditate
*practice mindfulness
*give your mind a break
*be present in the moment
This is an underrated habit for your mental health.
- Create a proper sleep schedule
Sleep is essential for you:
*performance
*mental health
*reducing stress
*improving your mood
Do this for deep and quality sleep:
*no screen 2 hours before bed
*no eating 2 hours before bed
*make your room cooler
*use blackout curtains
- Take a 30 minute walk in nature.
Nature is proven to help you:
*get rid of anxiety
*increase happiness
*improve your mood
Its one of the best hacks for improving your day.
