Tip 1 - Your Health
Make this year about you. So many times we put others first but how about switching that over and putting yourself first. When was the last time you had a check up? Is it time to see the doctor about that niggling pain? Or perhaps it’s time for your skin check or cervical smear ladies. Not only is it important to have a physical check, but it’s also important to consider your mental health. The past year has been very taxing on a lot of people. If you have symptoms of low mood or anxiety it’s important to get help from a medical professional.
Tip 2 - Exercise
Yes, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! This doesn’t have to be overly strenuous. It could be as simple as going for a walk, or lifting some light weights. It is recommended to perform at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week where you get slightly short of breath. This has positive impacts on your cardiovascular health. Please remember to always consult with a doctor before engaging in any new exercise programs.
Tip 3 - Reflection
How many times have you paused and thought about your day? What have you learned and what could you have done differently? By having time to reflect, it allows us the ability to grow and nurture our strengths and reduce our weaknesses.
Tip 4 - Positivity
Maintaining a sense of positivity is an important trait for us all. We all experience negativity at some points in our life, which is fine but rather than dwelling on that negative experience, connect with it, accept it, experience it and then let it go. Conversely, when you feel positive about something, this helps to lift your self esteem and raise your confidence which other people around you will notice, making them feel positive too.
Tip 5 - Diet
This doesn’t mean a fad diet or taking a herb, or excluding a food group. This means the old fashioned way of dieting, being mindful of your food choices and changing accordingly. So instead of picking up a biscuit for your morning tea break, instead pick up a couple of nuts or a piece of fruit. Not only should you think about your food choices but also think about your beverages, for example drinking plenty of fizzy soda is going to affect your teeth, not to mention the high sugar content affecting the rest of your body. Food can also affect our immune system in a positive way, we can gain a lot of our minerals and vitamins from eating fresh produce.
Bonus Tip
When you set yourself goals be sure to make them specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and set a time for that target. This helps you to break your goals down so that when you reach your target date you feel fulfilled and don’t feel disheartened that you haven’t achieved your goals.
