KW Health Wellness Hacks

 Welcome Sunshine!

I wanted to discuss wellness hacks that everyone should be aware of. 

There is basically a hack for everything, from beauty and skincare secrets to  amazing ways to be productive. 

We all want to simplify our lives by being really smart and savvy with our time. Today I want to focus on wellness and how you can incorporate certain tips and tricks into your daily life to live a more balanced and overall healthier lifestyle, not only for your body but for your mind too. 

1. Before checking your phone in the morning right away when you wake up, why not think of 3-4 things you want to accomplish and complete that day and tell yourself that you will complete these tasks. 

2. Practice the art of 'future journaling' so basically practice the rule of changing your mindset to - if it is not going to matter in 5 years, rather don't spend more than 5 minutes being upset over it. That is basically a gentle reminder to not over think situations or spend all of your time being consumed by thoughts that serve no purpose. 

3. Before dinner, ask your family or partner what their high and low point was for that day and if you live alone- just ask yourself and don't be afraid to say them out loud to yourself. This is an awesome way to reflect on good and bad experiences from your day and understand how to learn from each experience you go through. This helps develop inner wisdom and strength. 

4. This is something I personally like to do, which is keeping positive mantras, reminders or motivational quotes at the top section of my notes on my phone because when I need a pick me up - I can find something that inspires me and motivates me to keep moving forward. 

5. Ensure you set out 10 minutes at the start and end of your day because that sets the tone for everything in your life. When you schedule that much needed 'me time' when your day is starting and ending- it allows you to connect to yourself and it also creates a healthy habit in your life where you practice self care and that leads to inner happiness. 

6. Appreciate positive compliments- don't allow your ego to take over, but also learn to take them in and understand how they make you feel. We sometimes only focus on the negative comments we receive and allow that to bring us down and we tend to ignore the positive compliments because we some times don't believe it, but why not just take them in and appreciate them. 

7. Regarding compliments, one of the easiest ways to boost your mood and sense of purpose is doing something good for someone else. This can be anything from sending them a positive text message, show that you care for them during a tough situation, writing a hand written note to show gratitude to someone you love and cherish. Simple things can actually change our entire day by making the effort to spread some good vibes and love to others. I personally love giving compliments or showing someone how beautiful they are, if they are feeling super insecure or actively showing someone that I am interested and actually care, and I do this because I know what I would want to receive if I was in that position and I try and do that for others. 

8. Celebrate the small victories in your life and remind yourself to live in the moment and be proud of your accomplishments- big or small.

9. Make a habit to leave 5 minutes earlier than you need to for an appointment or meeting because being punctual is so much better than being stressed out and not prepared. 

10. Prepare your meals for the week every Sunday evening because this allows you to wake up every morning feeling productive, prepared and it will allow you to save more money and make healthier choices instead of that late night ordering that you cave into. Don't complain when you know you have the choice to make healthier choices. 

11. Limit your time and energy with people who only drain you. You will feel lighter and have more head space for people and things that uplift you. 

12. Get a reusable water bottle that will help keep you hydrated throughout the day and also helps you track your hydration levels for the day and this will help you to not feel as tired or drained and also by achieving this small victory after every day will create an overall change in your mood and boosts your self confidence because you did something for yourself and stuck to it. 

13. Choose to look for the green flags in your life instead of always focusing on the red ones. Be aware of the red flags in your life but also choose to set a positive mindset where you start to notice all of the good signs and habits in your life. This will help you to always maintain a state of mind where you see the silver lining in every grey cloud. 

Actively adding these simple hacks into your life will improve every aspect of your life and I feel that it is so important to never forget the power you have in your own life to create the life of your dreams where you feel better from within and where success is truly enjoyed and cherished because you are happy from within. 

The true 'glow up' is internal and not only external. When you are stronger and happier from within, you do things from a place of love, happiness and inner peace and that will change your life. Nothing will be unattainable.
